21 Shanghai North Sichuan Road Erxiao Residence (same as 19 scenes) night in the autumn of 1936

Xiao Hong continued to write at her desk.

Xiao Hong (voiceover): The windows of the coffee shop are covered with pale layers of frost under the curtains. I put my coat with a hairy neckline on the hanger......

22 coffee shop morning in the winter of 1931

Xiao Hong and Zhang Xiuke sat opposite each other stirring coffee, and the cups rang loudly.

There were just the two of them in the café.

Zhang Xiuke: You're better to go home...... It's too cold......

Xiao Hong (shaking her head): How is your school's basketball team doing? Still active? Are you still enthusiastic?

Zhang Xiuke: I've gotten better at throwing baskets, but unfortunately you didn't make it to our court.

Xiao Hong picked up the coffee cup and drank it in one go.

Zhang Xiuke: Sister, it's better to go home, the mood is not happy like this, it is useless for a long time...... Xiao Hong: Why do you say I'm in a bad mood?

Zhang Xiuke looked at Xiao Hong silently. The slight hissing of the heating pipe is clearly audible.

Two White Russian women walked in, sat next to Xiao Hong and them, and asked the waitress of Douguo for coffee and cake in Russian.

Xiao Hong looked out the window. Zhang Xiuke also looked out the window.

The shadow of the car, the figure of the person. The sound of footsteps was heard.

The waitress of Douguo brought cake and coffee.

Zhang Xiuke (softly): Your hair is so long, why don't you go to the barbershop?

Xiao Hong kept looking out the window.

Zhang Xiuke: Are you just drifting like this? It's getting colder......

23 Café Outside Morning Outside Winter 1931

Xiao Hong and her younger brother walked a few steps, and Zhang Xiuke stopped.

Xiao Hong (voiceover) : ...... The red sun of the morning beat our hair, and such a red light made me feel euphoric and lonely...... Zhang Xiuke: Do you want money?

Xiao Hong shook her head.

Zhang Xiuke: Then I'm going to school!

Zhang Xiuke turned around and left, and Xiao Hong left in the opposite direction.

Zhang Xiuke ran back and caught up with Xiao Hong.

Zhang Xiuke: Sister, it's better to go home! You're getting sick, your clothes are too thin.

Xiao Hong: I can't go back to that kind of home, and I don't want my father, who is on opposite sides of me, to support me...... Zhang Xiuke hesitated for a moment, turned around and left.

Xiao Hong (voiceover) : My brother's eyes are dark black...... Zhang Xiuke took a few steps and turned around.

Xiao Hong has left lonely.

Zhang Xiuke turned his head again, tears welling up in his eyes. He glanced at the camera, walked towards the camera, then stood and cried sadly in front of the camera.

Zhang Xiuke: After my sister fled, our family was ruined, and the Provincial Department of Education revoked my father in the name of teaching his son. I changed schools twice because I couldn't stand the ridicule of my classmates, and finally came to Harbin No. 2 Middle School. This chance encounter between me and my sister was later written by her into an article called "Early Winter". My sister and my father never saw each other again until my sister died...... Not long after we met, she went to refuge with her fiancé, whom she had betrayed......

24 Russian Western Restaurant Yennewinter 1931

Xiao Hong was eating and drinking in rags.

Wang Enjia sat calmly across from her and watched her eat and drink.

Zhang Xiuke (voiceover): ...... His name is Wang Enjia, and he is a teacher at a primary school in Harbin...... Suddenly rushed in from outside the door a man of about thirty years old, well-dressed and upper-class, was Wang Enjia's elder brother. He also wears glasses and is also skinny.

He rushed straight to Wang Enjia's side, picked him up, and gave him a few big mouths.

Xiao Hong stood up in fright and hit the chair.

Wang Enjia was still calm and did not resist.

Wang Enjia (softly): Brother!

Brother Wang scolded angrily, not even looking at Xiao Hong.

Brother Wang: Would you like to have a face? You don't want to be ashamed of your family! A good horse doesn't eat back grass, a slut like her has ruined the reputation of the family, and you still eat and drink with you shamelessly, do you still have a little backbone?

The more Brother Wang spoke, the more angry he became, and he punched and kicked again. Because he is thinner than Wang Enjia, he can't fight hard.

Wang Enjia never resisted.

Xiao Hong's tears poured down her eyes, watching this scene.

25th Street on the winter of 1931

Wang Enjia walked with a blue nose and swollen face, and Xiao Hong followed him.

Wang Enjia looked across the road and immediately crossed over.

Xiao Hong didn't know why, and followed him.

Wang Enjia went into the shop in a small alley.

Xiao Hong followed, looking up and seeing the sign of the opium house.

26 Opium House in the winter of 1931

Wang Enjia lay on the couch and swallowed the clouds.

Xiao Hong stood outside the opium hall stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.

27 Dong Xingshun Hotel 302 rooms inside and outside the winter of 1932

The door opened.

Xiao Hong and Wang Enjia came in, Xiao Hong carried two pairs of skates in her hands and threw them on the ground.

Xiao Hong wore a raccoon dog collar, blue-green gabardine top, and raccoon fur coat, like a noblewoman.

She took off her coat and sat down on the bed tiredly.

Wang Enjia took off his coat and walked straight to the window, lifted the curtain and looked down.

Several Sakura National Vehicles are slowly passing by, and the Sakura National soldiers are standing on the cars, waving the Sakura National flag.

Xiao Hong got up and came to the table, there was a porcelain basin on the table, and a small turtle was raised in the basin.

Xiao Hong whistled at it, poked the turtle's head with a finger, and caressed it.

28 Dong Xing Shun Hotel Room 302 Midnight Inner Summer 1932

There was a broken electric fan in the room, "buzzing" and shaking his head boringly.

A plate of mosquito coils on the ground, curling with smoke.

Xiao Hong was pregnant and fell asleep with her stomach upright.

Wang Enjia slept topless next to her.

After a while, Wang Enjia opened his eyes, turned over and lay on his side, supported his cheek with one hand, looked at Xiao Hong seriously, and then gently stroked Xiao Hong's bulging belly with a finger.

29 Dongxingshun Hotel Lobby Midnight Inner Summer 1932

Wang Enjia came down the stairs and walked out of the door intently. He was wearing slippers, shorts, and only a vest than before, as if he had just gone downstairs to buy a box of cigarettes.

The guy on duty at the counter heard some movement, opened his eyes sleepily, and caught a glimpse of Wang Enjia's back disappearing into the night.

Subtitle : Bai Lang Luo Feng

Both of them are in their twenties, the same age as Er Xiao. His wife, Bai Lang, is very tall, a head taller than her husband Luo Feng. Both wore shabby suits.

They sat side by side facing the camera.

Bai Lang : Wang Enjia has not been heard from since he left the hotel this summer night, and his whereabouts have been unknown since.

In November 1931, they moved into the Dongxingshun Hotel in Harbin, where they stayed for seven months. The two of them sat on the mountain and owed the hotel more than 400 yuan...... Luo Feng (corrected): It's more than 600 yuan! This was a lot of money at the time!

Bai Lang : Xiao Hong is pregnant......
