down with you when you drown...

Make me your scapegoat

to go sit in a prison cell!

That's not going to happen!

- What are you doing?

- Don't mind me! You can't stop me!

If you don't turn it in...

If you don't... I will...

- Where are going to go?

- If you turn it in, if you won't, I'll do it...

Turn it in? Turn it in? Give it back!

You won't do it, will you? If you don't,

I'll report it to the Work Section Chief!

You wouldn't dare!

You b*tch! Like a dog on the f***ing

street, I'll beat you to death!

Anay, I don't want

to f***ing live anymore, I...

Mangeng! Mangeng! Mangeng!

I'm begging you! Mangeng!

If you won't do it for my sake,

think about your three daughters!

You need to turn that

money in, Mangeng...

I'm begging you...

Oh god... Nowadays unless you trample

on others, they'll trample on you!

I can't take it!

My sister was born with

skin like white silver...

Her melon seed-shaped face is

loved to death... Oh, loved to death...

As she walks down the road,

they all fall in love...

When she sits at home, they all

come over... Oh, they all come over...

You need to consider this very seriously...

Either you keep your Party membership...

Or you take that girl who opened

a food stall as your wife...

My sister was born with

skin like white silver...

Her melon seed-shaped face is

loved to death... Oh, loved to death...

As she walks down the road,

they all fall in love...

When she sits at home, they all

come over... Oh, they all come over...

Old Gu!

How is your thinking coming along?

You will be suspended from your position

and must confess your crime...

This is the decision of the County Party

Committee and the County Grain Bureau...

You're an old comrade...

I used to respect you so deeply...

I never thought the problem

could be this serious...

It's very possible that you will be made

an example of in this campaign...

Hmph!

No matter how serious the problem,

as long as you come clean to the Party...

...it shouldn't be difficult to resolve...

As for me... I have no prejudice

against Hibiscus Town...

Nor do I have any prejudice against you...

You see... I made a point of

talking to you alone today...

...with no other comrades present...

Gu Yanshan...

I've got some numbers

I want you to listen to...

According to our examination

of your accounts...

Since the second half of 1961, over

the next two years and nine months...

You sold to that New Bourgeois

Element Hu Yuyin a total of...

Is this accurate?

More than ten thousand pounds?

Not a small amount...

That was just powdered rice chaff,

not rice from the state storehouse!

No matter if it was powdered

rice chaff or white rice...

As Grain Distribution Director you issued

more than ten thousand pounds, right?

- When did you go work in the paddies?

- Hey...

If it wasn't the state storehouse

where did it come from?

Didn't you make the report to the Bureau?

Who gave you so much authority?

It wasn't just her I sold to...

It's all in the official accounts!

- I didn't profit one extra cent!

- It was that clean, huh?

You didn't profit one extra cent...

This I can perhaps believe...

However... a bachelor like yourself...

...should at least make

a bachelor's profit...

What bachelor's profit?

Don't act so naive...

What cat doesn't want to eat raw fish?

That rice tofu beauty...

she's the Xi Shi of Hibiscus Town!

You!? You mean to say...

I had relations with her?

Wouldn't this kind of thing

be right up her alley?

Wasn't her mother a prostitute?

Section Chief Li...

How could I have had relations with her?

How could I have? How could I have?

Me?

Me?

Li Guoxiang! You! You... you...

Go tell your Work to all come in here!

I... I'll face all of you! I'll take

my pants off for you to see!

Gu Yanshan! What kind

of pervert are you?

You dirty old bachelor...

Now you want to take off your pants?

Fine! I'll allow this! I'll convene

a meeting of the whole village for you!

You can face the whole crowd

and take your pants off!

I... You have forced me to this!

You... you...

I was wounded in the war! You...

I'm impotent... I'm impotent...

Old Gu...

Sit...

Have a seat...

You and Hu Yuyin may not

have carried on an affair...

But Li Mangeng isn't impotent, is he?

They have passionately sworn loyalty to

each other, ever wonder why that is?

You... Hu Yuyin... Li Mangeng

... and that Qin Shutian...

Economically, politically, ideologically...

You want me to ignore

the countless links between you all?

Your little group here... Collaborating

both within and outside the Party!

You're running the whole politcs

and economy of Hibiscus Town!

It's become a counter-ideology!

What?

Actually, it is a...

...a clique!

A clique?

What are you doing?

Just a cough... it itches...

You still want to kill

the Work Unit Chief?

Where is that young girl from?

She's married to my relative,

she's just visiting...

What class is her family?

Low, definitely low...

Does she have papers

from her commune or work unit?

Did you... for her...

have her residency transferred?

She's a relative, what papers

does she need just to visit?

Well... without papers she cannot

stay here for very long, OK?

Uncle!

Aiya, you're back looking for Old Gu?

He got caught up in their investigation

of you and now he's locked up!

Sister, sister...

Is Brother Mangeng home?

I'm begging you, don't come

here looking for him again...

You've brought trouble on him...

and trouble on this home!

The bosses sent him to the county seat

for self-criticism and reeducation...

He left with just his bedding roll...

What about my husband?

Your husband?

Your husband was so reckless...

He tried to kill Li Guoxiang!

A month ago...

...he was sent to his grave!

Guigui...

Guigui...

Where are you?

Answer me!

Your wife is looking for you!

Guigui...

Guigui...

Sister Hibiscus... Sister Hibiscus!

Don't shout...

Brother Guigui can't answer you...

- Who are you?

- It's me...

Are you a man or a ghost?

What can I say... Sometimes I'm

a ghost, sometimes a man...

You... you...

It's me, Qin Shutian, Crazy Qin...

Get away! Leave me alone!

Rightist! Five Categories Element!

Yuyin... listen to me...

You've already been labelled

as a New Rich Peasant...

I'm the wife of a Rich Peasant?

A tofu peddler is the wife

of a New Rich Peasant?

Qin...

This is all your fault!

When I was married...

...you came with those

raunchy songs of yours!

You spoiled our good fortune!

The candles are lit...

and the grass is green...

The girl by my side...

sings a few verses...

She sings her grief...

and her heart shudders...

Her eyes are piercing...

their waters run deep...

Long live Chairman Mao!

Long live Chairman Mao!

Resolutely Attack the New

Rich Peasant Hu Yuyin!

Repel the Fierce Counterattacks of

the Helmeted Qin Shutian!
