Is this the way you work in the rice field?

Next time, I won't use my boot.

Now go to work.

He broke my boat.

Don't cry, Lu-Chi.

You, don't you teach your child the wisdom of obedience?

Lu-Chi is not my child.

He is an orphan.

So then proper discipline can be [inaudible]?

If the Japanese soldier will permit,

I will show him how the new order disciplines its youth.

Go on.

Lu-Chi, what is the plan of our Japanese masters?

Plan of our kind Japanese for a greater, cooperative East Asia.

Ah, good, the water is here.

Go get your drink, all of you.

Don't take too long.

Tell them the weapons are not to be used now.

Hey, hey, hey, don't crowd.

Don't crowd, one at a time.

How about the goat?

Vegetables, I don't eat them, fruit, all right, oh,

and the champagne, yeah.

See.

Skinny, five.

Heil Hitler.

Now, Lieutenant, you see, nothing is

too good for General Kaimura.

Only a few hours before General Kaimura's arrival,

has everything been arranged?

Oh, I promise you he will find everything in order.

How about the general's quarters?

Oh, like Hitler's Berghof in Berchtesgaden

or... or the Emperor's Palace in Japan,

but better, and the ducks, oh, you should see the ducks.

I raised them all from tiny, little chicks,

and I fed them better good than I eat myself,

and the fruit, everything from my own garden.

How about champagne?

Yes, yes, we have champagne, im... imported from France.

France?

Drop something?

What?

Why are you not practicing with your voice?

I want you should sing the best when the general comes.

Who do you think I am, Madam Butterfly?

Never mind, what song will you sing?

"Lullaby to a Dying Duck."

Oh, that sounds... what?

[inaudible], quick, get it.

Three Jap planes against one American bomber.

You Japanese are wonderful marksmen.

That was a Japanese plane which came down.

Yeah?

Get to work.

Aw, these flames.

Too bad.

That's an American plane that's in flames.

Good, good.

Heil, Hitler.

Stand by with the car.

Japanese sentry must die.

Don't use the gun.

Put him in the ditch.

You go help the other one.

Who are you, lady?

Your friend, we're all your friends.

Where are they taking my pal over there?

It's all right.

We have a hideout where he'll get medical attention.

Say, haven't I seen you someplace before?

Never mind that, look.

Wait a minute.

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm gonna take a couple

of those babies with me.

Drop that gun.

Take him away.

Look for the other flyer.

You used excellent judgment.

It is my duty to the new order.

Cleverness does not seem to be your only virtue.

This is not a coolie hand.

The lieutenant is right.

I am not a coolie.

Now if you were only of noble birth... you see, my dear,

General Kaimura likes the companionship

of intelligent women, especially cultured women.

Have you been here long?

Not long.

Well, a little scrubbing around the neck

and, uh, ear, and even a general might see possibilities.

My cap.

No, shh.

Bring the prisoner.

Heil Hitler.

Banzai, much better.

Where did you get this cap?

The plan of our kind Japanese master

is for a greater, cooperative East Asia.

Never mind that, where did you get this cap?

The plan of our kind Japanese master...

Oh, never mind the double talk.

You better go home.

Do you want to get shot?

Well, Times Square, oh, pardon me, detour.

Just a stooge, huh?

Rodney Carr, correct?

Correct, 102 South Main Street, Paducah, Kentucky,

social security number... but you wouldn't understand

about social security, General.

While working in an American munitions factory,

my number was 563-185-184.

Well, as a matter of fact, General,

we all have your number.

Mr. Carr likes jokes.

Oh, yeah, you ever hear the one about Hirohito?

That will do.

You are in no position to be insolent.

Yeah, you're right.

You didn't get your butcher's degree for nothing.

No fear of death, Mr. Carr?

Death?

Well, General, since I joined up with the Flying Tigers,

I've always been on the winning side.

Not quite.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

This was a slip up.

I only bagged three fighters this time.

Mr. Carr, do you know why you are here?

You mean instead of pushing up daisies?

Sure, for two reasons... one, to satisfy

your own meat-grinding ambitions, second, to find

out the who, what, when, where, how

of my boss's operational plans and ammunition dumps.

Precisely.

Take it from me, General, it's not for publication.

Shall we use some persuasive methods?

Oh, Mr. Carr, would you not like to fly for us?

The pay is better.

Well, thanks a lot, General, but I've

always try to lead a clean life.

We shall really have to devise some special method

of persuasion for him.

So you lost one of the Americans?

Well, he can't go far, excellency.

You become lax, Lieutenant.

Perhaps you do not like a position on my staff.

Oh, but I do, excellency.

Then are you going to take care of this matter,

or must I manage every little detail?

At once, uh, do you like your quarters, General?

They will do.

What about my dinner?

Roast duck and the finest champagne.

And what about my... my companion?

Well, there is a Mongolian girl.

No good, she is empty, no culture.

But perhaps she will do temporarily.

I can always depend upon you, Lieutenant, to fail me.

No, I will attend to it at [inaudible].

I... I think I have a surprise for you.

Then why the delay?

Were you looking for someone, Lieutenant?

I might have been looking for you.

I had hoped.

Oh, good, you remembered what I told you in the rice field.

Yes.

Then listen closely, madam.

General Kaimura is a very fastidious man.

He prefers the company of cultured women,

ladies of high estate.

Do you think you can assume such a role?

I am Madam Wang-Tai, from the Great House of Wang.

My father's wealth was confiscated.

Not confiscated, lost.

Lost.

Good, you are an apt pupil, madam.

General Kaimura would never know that you

are not a lady of high estate, except for... for these.

We must get rid of them.

I own nothing else.

Well, then, follow me to the hotel.

That can easily be arranged, but do not walk too close.

It would not do for me to be seen

walking with a coolie woman, and one thing more, madam.

There must be no slip up on your part, or else.

Feel badly about the cap?

Since you told nothing, no harm can come of it.

Now no more tears.

Tears are only for joy, Lu-Chi.

Come.

Put him to bed.

Oh, there you are.

Did you wish something?

I just wanted to return this to the kid.

Why did you take it?

I just wanted to.

I was curious where he got it.

He found it in the rice fields.

He got it from the flyer who was killed.

Oh, he was killed, huh?

Why, I thought maybe he was still alive,

and the Japs had questioned the child.

And you didn't want them to learn anything?

I've seen them torture these kids before.

What's the idea?

Oh, Chen simply want to make sure

you won't say anything about the flyers cap.

You're guerrillas, all of you.

Why, Kaimura would cut every throat in this room.

Including yours.

Oh, not mine, I have to sing.

All throats look alike to the Japs,

or perhaps you are their ally.

I am nobody's ally.

Are your sympathies with us?

You heard me.

I travel alone, and right now, I want to travel out of here.

Of course, and thank you so much for protecting the boy.

She will tell the Japs.

She can be trusted.

How do you know?

A woman's intuition, Lu-Chi, you go to bed.

Now listen carefully, all of you.

Kaimura, the butcher, is here for some important purpose.

Wherever he goes, Japanese armies soon appear.

Miss no opportunity to destroy an enemy,

but be more cautious than ever until we

learn the general's plans.

That is all.

How can we learn his plan?

Keep watch.

That stuff I was drinking last night

had a buck like a machine.

A Japanese machine gun.

Huh, Japs?

What's cooking?

You were wounded.

Oh, oh, I get it.

Those dirty little Nips plugged me, but they didn't kill me.

Oh, my nurse, [inaudible], I've always wanted a nurse.

Nothing ever happened to me, not even a busted leg.

I'm sorry.

This is the best we can do under the circumstances.

What?

Lady, this is perfect.

Gee, I wish the boys back in Brooklyn could see me now.

Brooklyn?

Yeah, yeah, the home of the Dodgers.

Dodgers?

What are they?

What do they do?

Well, they play baseball.

Yeah, that's one of President Roosevelt's four freedoms.

Gee, I can see it now.

It's in the 9th inning, see, and the score is all tied up.

Kimberly's up to bat.

There's a man on second base.

The guy on the mound is a big portsider.

He winds up, and he throws the ball in there.

Kmberly combs one, right out of the park.

It's a foul ball.

The guy winds up.

He throws it in there.

The umpire calls it a strike.

[inaudible] rushes out of the dugout,

and he starts a beef with the umpire.

The umpire throws him out of the park, see.

Oh, [inaudible] could never keep quiet.

Kimberly's up now.

The guy tosses the ball.

Kimberly reaches back and he... oh.

Don't get up, Sergeant, China can't afford to lose you.

Where are my buddies?

Where is Rod and Johnny? What happened to them?

They are all right.

Don't you worry.

OK, if you say so, lotus blossom.

Lotus blossom?

That's a very pretty name.

Yeah, yeah, I had a girl in Brooklyn

I'd call lotus blossom.

Her real name was O'Houlihan.

Only I called her lotus blossom on account of she

liked chop suey.

Gee, that was a long time ago.

That was before me and Rod joined

up with the Flying Tigers.

Chen, it's all right to move him to the cave tonight.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, soldier, here, merry Christmas.

Well, if it isn't Times Square.

Did your Jap pals send you here to soften me up?

If they did...

I know.

I'm wasting my time.

What's your racket?

How come you got the key to the city?

I'm an entertainer.

I sing.

So do I, look where I am.

Maybe you don't sing good enough.

I can't make you out.

Don't try.

This is just Times Square, remember?

We just bumped into each other in the crowd.

Thousands do it every day.

Then you know New York?

No, I've never been in the States.

What?

You've never been to the States?

Never been.

New York, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building,

Coney Island.

You ever been to Moscow, Siberia, or Calcutta?

No.

I have, all over Europe, Asia, even Japan.

You ever been there?

No, if I ever get out of here alive,

I've got a date to bring a few eggs to Hirohito.

If you ever get out.

You couldn't fix it, could you?

That soldier could notice it.

How come you talk like a Yank?

Learned it out of the sailor's manual.

Look, kid, let's cut out this chatter.

You stack up all right to me.

What's the gag?

No gag, you know, something about you reminds me of...

Uh-oh, here it comes.

Reminds me of home, yeah, any place in the States...

a Wisconsin farm, a ranch in Montana,

an orange grove in California, yeah, even Times Square,

anywhere but here.

You don't belong here.

Are you proposing?

You got me wrong, lady.

That's what I thought.

Hey, before you go, will you tell me if you know what

happened to a buddy of mine?

No, but if he's anything like you,

he can take care of himself.

What are you doing here? You are crazy.

Come on. Get out of here.

Get out.

Don't do that.

Your fighting plane did a marvelous

job today, Herr General.

Bring my dinner.

Of course, of course, duck, duck, I raised them from tiny,

little...

I know.

Sit down.

What is your name?

Lavara.

Where are you from?

My mother was American, my father, Russian.

Officially, that is no good.

Unofficially, I will drink with you.

Champagne?

I haven't had champagne in months.

There is much more in my office.

Uh, perhaps later we will go up there,

and you can drink all you want.

I am kind of thirsty.

Perhaps you are [inaudible].

You make fun of General Kaimura?

Oh, no, General, I'm laughing at myself, aristocrats.

Perhaps that is the American in you.

So [inaudible] aristocrat?

To think of it, they did used to call my old lady duchess.

Duchess?

Yes, uh, bring another plate for the lady.

What are you doing? [inaudible] Get out.

General, I have the surprise.

Surprise?

Who asked for a surprise?

Fancy meeting you here.

Pardon me, General, but your lady friend

is an old friend of mine.

I'm afraid you are mis...

Oh, no, I'm not.

I'd know you [inaudible].

Do you [inaudible]?

No.

Oh, yeah?

Why don't you tell the general about the bonnet?

Suppose you tell him?

Oh, I... I've said enough.

Just seeing her here hit me the wrong way.

What is this bonnet?

Please, General, the answer is a simple one.

She probably saw me dressed as a coolie

with muddy sandals and a large, straw hat.

Coolie?

But what she did not know was that I come

from the great house of Wang, that my parents were killed,

and I was reduced to starvation.

That was before I realized what the new order meant.

So perhaps you do not care for the new order?

Perhaps you would like a prison camp better?

Please, General, it's not her fault all this happened.

What do you mean?

The poor girl is jealous.

Jealous?

And it's really your fault. You haven't an [inaudible] women.

I know how she feels finding me here.

Every war has produced its great commanders

like General Kaimura.

Europe I have admired you from afar,

and I am happy at last to stand within the shadow

of the next [inaudible].

Should I say, captain?

Tell that heil Hitler downstairs to prepare

a room for Madam Wang-Tai.

Yes, excellency.

...premiere of Japan, no, of the whole world.

Where have I seen you before, madam?

Your face reminds me.

There is something... yes, I know what it is.

Yes, the Great Wall of China, why do you remind

me of the Great Wall of China?

Perhaps the general thinks I am as

aged looking as the Great Wall.

There is a fragile but durable beauty in you, madam.

Great Wall, yes, I see it each time I...

I look at you... durable, lasting,

as though you, like the Great Wall, have lived for centuries

and will live on for centuries more.

But it will not be so.

The Great Wall shall crumble into dust, and from the dust

will arise a new China.

General...

I will hold Asia and half the world in my hand

like a bunch of grapes to be ripened by the sun of heaven,

and you, madam, your destiny will be linked with mine.

Will it be soon?

Soon, my little flower.

You have much fighting to do.

We cannot hurry destiny.

When my soldiers arrive, we shall move on.

When will they arrive?

What is it?

General, I have important news.

Well?

A coolie has talked, with a little persuasion.

Well?

The overseer has been found.

Well, why do you bother me with small things?

Go away.

But, General Kaimura, the overseer was found in a ditch

at the rice field, dead.

What did you say?

Murdered by the coolies.

Oh, so get every coolie who worked in that rice field.

Well, what are you staring at?

Nothing, I... the overseer's body is in the courtyard.

Well, must I inspect the body now,

Lieutenant, or do you suppose it may keep until the morning?

Tomorrow, when I have finished in this village,

there will be many more bodies.

Now go.

Madam, forgive me these interruptions

and... and I am a little weary.

Oh, how thoughtless of me, of course, you must be tired.

I'll go.

I shall look forward to tomorrow

and a great many more days.

But your troops will arrive soon,

and you will be leaving for the front.

And I will be all alone.

Don't worry about that, my little flower.

It will not be tomorrow, but the next day.

How soon?

Do not fret about that.

Oh, Herr General, I have come to show madam to her room.

Madam, good night.

Good night, General.

Good night.

Madam, why did you come here?

Because it's part of my plans.

But the danger...

Money has always taken care of that in the past.

Of course, but you, right here in my hotel,

under the general's nose, that's suicide.

You will be detected.

You are not worried about me.

You are worried about yourself.

I... after all, I have my responsibilities.

I cannot take chances.

Our bargain was plainly understood from the first.

Only one thing concerns you.

You furnish the guns and ammunitions.

We furnish the money, American money.

Of course, and I... didn't I stick

to my side of the bargain?

Not as much as I expected, but it'll have to do.

Madam, you must leave at once.

I'll try to get more munitions for you,

but you must leave my hotel at once.

I don't think the general would hear

of it, nor your interference.

Please, madam, I beg of you, careful, careful.

For your sake, Herr Gruber, I will take every precaution

so you will live a long life.

You were in the rice field when the overseer was murdered

and the flyer escaped.

Tell me, who killed the overseer,

and where is the flyer hiding?

That would give you a captain's rating.

I'm sorry I can't help you.

You forget, madam, I took you out of the rice field,

and I can send you back to the rice field or have you shot.

Shoot Madam Wang-Tai?

One word to the general, madam.

Would you disillusion the general?

Goddess of mercy, give me strength.

Present arms.

Bring them in.

Good morning, General.

Good morning, madam.

Lieutenant.

Madam.

What's all the excitement?

One of my more disagreeable duties, a few executions.

Oh, yes, for the death of the overseer.

It is not a pleasant sight.

Perhaps, madam, you had better wait in the hotel for me.

Is my left hand not to know what my right hand is doing?

You, General, are now my right hand,

and I must know and understand both hands.

Madam, you are superb.

In that case, stay and observe.

If you will forgive me, madam.

Remove this.

Good morning, Captain.

I have removed the obstacle from your view.

I trust you will see better.

Uh, Lieutenant, give the American captain a cigarette.

Cigarette?

Please, my father is old and understands nothing.

Question that young agitator first.

Uh, bring a glass for...

None for me, thank you.

Lieutenant, you may proceed.

You have your choice.

Talk or die.

I know nothing.

Talk.

I do not know.

Who killed the overseer?

I do not know.

Did you kill him?

No.

Lieutenant, you waste time.

Dispose of him.

I don't want to seem presumptuous,

but don't you think youth should be

taught to serve the new order, instead of wasted?

Firing squad, fall in.

Your armies need rice, otherwise Japan's destiny,

and yours, will be starved.

Ready.

General, can you afford to put your soldiers into the rice

fields?

Aim.

Stop.

Lieutenant, release the young coolie.

Aim.

Fire.

That's right, two at a time.

It saves ammunition.

Aim.

Fire.

Excuse me, madam.

I trust you enjoyed the performance, Captain.

As for myself, I find such incidents

stimulating to the appetite.

What should you like for breakfast?

Remember Pearl Harbor, General.

Wait till I turn my back.

Meet tonight.

For you, madam, I have waited time for such time as this.

How lovely, it takes my breath away.

And you, madam, take my breath and my heart away.

If I can do that, our destiny will be truly linked.

Time is growing short.

Every minute counts.

Soon, I will be away.

Are you leave [inaudible] front?

Yes, soon, I will be in Chungking,

then the conquest of all China.

The troops, are they coming from the south?

Many thousands of them, and within 24 hours, but let's

not talk about that now.

Oh, you're trembling.

Are you frightened?

Just at the thought of your leaving.

It will not be for long.

Oh, your drink, you have so many problems of war

to face that you must dismiss everything from your mind now.

Everything but you, if only every Chinese

were like you, madam, Chungking could

well take a lesson from you.

Well, here's hoping that every Chinese you meet from tonight

on will be as loyal as I am.

I say the time has come to strike.

There is no longer room for patience.

There is no longer room for Madam Kwan Mei.

She has betrayed us.

She will be here to answer you.

Will she bring her General Kaimura with her?

Your sorrow has made you blind.

She called this meeting.

She will be here, and we will wait.

24 hours.

I was hoping I would find you.

What are you gonna do, try to pin wings on me again?

Please, don't go.

We need your help.

I want you to help the American flyer escape.

What for?

Why should I risk my life for somebody

that's just dropped in?

He means something to you.

Nothing means anything to him but his kites.

Try and get the key from Herr Gruber.

He must have a duplicate one for the wine room.

Look, I might have had a tough life,

but I'm still going to hang onto it.

Your life and my life mean nothing.

It's the future generation that counts now.

This is the only generation I'm interested in.

I know you will do it, and thanks.

Captain.

Who's that?

Is that you, Times Square?

Oh, I... oh, I thought you were somebody else.

I am Madam Kwan Mei.

Did you say Madam Kwan Mei?

Shh, be careful.

Yeah, but I know you just said... hey,

you're the one I met in the rice fields.

Yes, Captain.

And here you've been Madam Kwan Mei all along.

What a sap I was not to recognize you.

What did you stop me from shooting Japs?

For two good reasons... first, they would have killed you.

Second, once you arrived, you were worked

in with our guerrilla plan.

General Kaimura's troop train is arriving within 24 hours.

The general is planning a western offensive immediately,

but the troop train must not reach him.

We have prepared long and patiently to destroy

the general's army and recapture our village.

We could not fail if we had help from the air.

That's where I come in.

I beat it to my base and bring back the gang.

Exactly.

It's a deal, but how do I get out of here?

That has been arranged.

Good night, Captain, and good luck.

We are fools to wait.

She will not come.

Let us fight tonight while they are asleep.

How soon you forget what madam has done for you?

Forget?

Forget?

I will never forget.

She stood there smiling as they shot down my father.

She is a traitor.

Mochow.

- Let me go. - Mochow.

Let me go.

If you don't pipe down, you're gonna betray all of us,

and, besides, my pal here can't concentrate.

Then I go alone.

If you are not cowards, you will follow me.

Or shall we trade our guns for fine clothes?

These are fine clothes.

You think I wear them from choice?

Mochow, I am sorry about your father.

Lotus blossom.

Well, how are you?

Right in the pink.

Why, you look as good as new, and, [inaudible], soon you will

be using a machine gun again.

I have important information for you.

Oh, I see doubt in all your faces.

I see the thought in your eyes that I am a traitor.

Somehow I cannot blame you.

I saw Mochow's father die, murdered,

and I saw the fathers of two more comrades, shot.

Though I did not show the pain in my face, it was in my heart,

truly.

I live at the hotel.

I wear lovely clothes, but there is a reason.

It was the only way to find out the plan of that butcher.

Jap soldiers coming.

So you brought the Japs with you?

Hey, what's the matter? Are you crazy?

Please.

General Kaimura's troop train arrives in 24 hours.

Choose your objectives and rehearse your men.

The bridge must be blown up and the track.

The [inaudible] our plans, which now

includes the escape of our two American flyers tonight.

They will bring back air support for our attack.

Did Rod said we could do it?

We'll do it.

I'll need you, Chen, and you, Mochow, and the rest of you

see that our friend here...

Patrick is the name.

...Pat is at the end of the street by the well.

No move must be made until we hear the air attack.

In case we don't meet again, good luck and goodbye.

Goodbye, lotus blossom.

Come, Mochow, Chen.

What a woman.

Oh, it's you.

What are you doing here so late at night?

I just wanted to talk to you, Hansy.

To me, what for?

Oh, don't worry.

It's not about moonlight and roses.

I've got a big order for you.

An order?

Munitions for the Chinese guerrillas.

What do you mean by that?

Just what I said.

I do not know what you are talking about.

You are fired, dismissed.

Look, here, mister, there's no time to lose.

Either you do what I say, or I talk to the general

and tell him everything I know about you.

And, brother, what I know about you

would line you up against that wall in the courtyard.

Go Get out.

OK, I think I'll talk to the general first.

Well, wait.

What do you want me to do?

I have a date with the American flyer tonight.

I want you to take me to him now.

I won't do it.

Get the keys.

Lovely night for romance, isn't it, Herr Gruber?

Soldier, come here.

Take this. This is your getaway.

- Well, how come you... - Don't ask me.

I'm out of my head.

You won't get away with it.

I am going to tell the general.

You can't blackmail me, Frauline, you dirty, no-good...

Guards, guards, guards!

So long, soldier.

So long, Times Square.

I won't forget this.

Guards, the American flyer has escaped, that way.

Now get moving.

Hey, who is the blonde?

What's that noise?

What was that noise?

You must have been dreaming.

What happened?

I... I heard shots.

Come in.

Your excellency, the American flyer has escaped.

Escaped, how?

I do not know.

Well, go and find him and bring him back.

Fools, there is nothing you can do that's right.

Go on.

The Americans will pay for this with more than one flyer.

Forgive me.

I fell asleep.

Well, you must have been very tired,

but I waited here for you.

Madam, you are... you are more ravishing than ever.

This day would have to happen just

when we were ready to launch our attack on the west.

Did you find out how he escaped?

The German, Hans Gruber, soldiers

found him in the wine room.

So the German, dispose of him.

And one thing more, General, last night

soldiers on the outskirts of town discovered a woman.

Well, thank you, Lieutenant.

That's my broach.

I worried all night about it.

See, it's a gift from the general,

and I wouldn't lose it for anything.

Why do you bother me with small things?

Go now.

In just a few minutes, my troop train will arrive,

and I shall be gone.

What was that?

Maybe guerrillas.

Guerrillas?

I can take care of that.

I'll wipe out this village, every man, woman, and child.

Japanese planes...

No, Flying Tigers.

Let them come.

They will be culled from the skies like dead flies.

What was that?

That was your troop train, thousands

of soldiers blown to bits, my future premier

of the Japanese Empire.

And how do you know all this?

I am Madam Kwan Mei.

Kwan Mei?

Madam Kwan Mei, the famous Madam Kwan Mei?

Why, yes, I should have known.

I was right, Great Wall of China.

Then last night, why... why this is more than

I could ever dream, one of the foremost women in China.

Madam, I am overwhelmed.

Oh, Lieutenant, may I present the lady

from Chungking, Madam Kwan Mei?

You will take her to the courtyard and shoot her.

I reserve the honor of giving the order myself.

Hurry.

I haven't much time.

Madam, my profoundest regrets.

We are ready, General.

My faithful lieutenant, sometimes I wonder

what I would do without you.

You cannot kill me.

You cannot kill China.

Not even a million deaths could crush the soul of China,

for the soul of China will be eternal.

When I day, a million will take my place,

and nothing can stop them, neither hunger, nor torture,

nor the firing squad.

We shall live on until the enemy is driven back

over scorched land, for the armies of decency and liberty

are on the march.

China's destiny is victory.

It will [inaudible] because human freedom will not perish.

Out of the ashes of ruin and old hatreds, the force of peace

will prevail until the world is again sane and beautiful.
