If you've never seen

white lily

and suddenly see one,

can we say that the lily

did not exist before that day?

No, it existed.

And if you have perceived

a wonderful poem,

that no one before you

had imagined,

can we say that

it did not exist before?

Answer me...

Do poems live

free and independent

like flowers or butterflies

or waterfalls and trees?

Or are they born anew,

invented by

a special person?

It is like that, sir.

Then take care of yourself, kid.

Through you, the world is destined

to receive verses like no other.

And your name

will know fame.

Sun Gu, does your mother

long for you already?

She just left me

but she already misses me.

She may be cold

and wants to get warm.

No, master.

My mother does not fear the cold.

She suffers from my absence,

I know that well enough.

Look.

Bring in your son.

My son,

you came to the world

for a single purpose: Vengeance.

When justice will not be done,

you will not know neither female,

nor children

neither joy nor pain.

You must take revenge.

Otherwise you will not accomplish

your destiny.

Swear, before I die,

you will.

I will, father.

A year passed

after the death of Tsai.

The vengeance was now postponed

a quarter of a century.

Hey, monk!

Tell me.

Is this house is still the one of

The Honourable Tsai?

Yes, it is the home of Tsai.

Then please get me

a member of his family.

Talk to me,

I'm his son.

His son?

How is this possible?

Tsai had a son?

Yes, I am the son

from his second wife.

My mother's name Nemaya.

I see.

Yan! It's you!

Why you scream, old woman?

Go get your husband,

I came voluntarily.

It has been 25 years.

I prayed all my life...

And you're alive! Why?

I learned

your husband was dead! Hey, yes!

Look good, Sun Gu.

Do not forget his face.

It is from him that

you must take revenge.

Kill him like a dog.

You'll have to torture him,

as he has done with my daughter.

Many years ago,

when she was a child,

a wandering monk

knocked at her door.

Book 4 - Monk

There is no person, they are at sea.

The fish arrived.

Can I spend the night

on the cart in the yard?

All right.

You can follow me

if you want.

I can take you into the mountains

to see my master.

He will heal you.

And my family?

They will lose you anyway.

You will die soon.

You cannot stop time.

But if you come with me,

you'll live.

However,

know that that life

will not be easy to you.

You will have to serve others.

In addition,

you must choose

the worst of men

and marry him.

Such is the desire of my master.

You hear me?

He has a son. A son!

It is small but he will grow.

and become strong,

and I

will be growing old and weak.

They will not be able to take revenge on you.

You can live in peace.

- What do you know?

- I know.

You know nothing, you idiot!

You have a bird brain.

You think you know everything.

You take care of people for free.

You're a useless creature.

If at least you gave me a son!

- We shall not have children.

- You know that too?

We will not put anyone in the world,

so that nobody will die.

I will atone for your sins.

I know everything there is in the world.

I know every bird

every river, every mountain.

Nonsense!

You're just a drag.

- I was sent to you.

- Who sent you? Who?

Those who live alone

and rule from afar.

Those who have until the very day

prevented men from perishing.

10 years passed again...

In this world where everyone

has a toilsome death,

I act in God's name.

I'm a guardian for men

sitting on the threshold of another world,

they walk to their death.

But I'm alone on this path

and I've never met God.

Have you recognized me?

Yes, my venerable master.

Sun Gu, do you still write verses

as you used to do?

No, I've forgotten about it.

I don't know how to do it anymore.

Man is like a flute

on which one plays a melody.

Some poems that you have written

as a child one still speaks of.

There is nothing real

in the word "I".

This exists, my venerable master.

I'm here with you.

Two fleeting illusions,

two shadows

which no one will remember.

And yet here we are,

our heads dripping with rain.

We are not

two heads dripping in the rain, my child

but two indistinctive beings,

wandering on misty paths

midway between Yin and Yang.

What path is given

to those who die as children?

To leaves falling

the first days of summer?

To mice drowning

accidentally in a bucket?

They had no path to go.

They went out at dawn

and oblivion surprised them.

While they slept,

the waters around

the realm of earthly life

have expelled them

at the beginning of the eternal cycle.

But a different fate

awaits us.

Awaits you, as a poet,

awaits me,

as a wandering monk.

If one has cut

the head of a child,

to what apply

the laws of Heaven then?

Only vengeance remains then.

It is the only law.

Sun Gu found a job in Sakhalin.

He left Korea with his mother

at the beginning of August 1945.

Book 5 - Romanian Elza

Lyoshka, we've worked enough.

Yes, I'm finished.

Where are you going?

Vysoki Nemoi!

Take away paddle.

Hey, Vysoki Nemoi!

Take away paddle

and pull the boat ashore!

"Chorus of the commanders"

What does that mean?

Nemoi caught it

at the other side of the river.

With a net, I think.

At home,

we bring goose to a wedding.

For the engagement

or the wedding ceremony?

Take it, so you'll get married.

- You go to the pub tonight?

- Yes, and you?

I do not.

But you go ahead, Lyosha.

Lyuba awaits you.

She was not there last night.

I went home.

She sat there for hours.

She cried.

She just said, "Oh, Lyosha."

You should marry her.

I have nothing against it.

- Hey, you.

- Who?

Me?

Hey, tell me.

You work at the sawmill?

- Elza!

- I'll come in a minute.

Look, can you get me

some boards?

Be nice, get me

some planks from the sawmill.

Can you?

Today?

Whenever you want.

I am building a house.

I have got the plaster,

but I can't find boards anywhere.

I can do the plastering and

I also know how to mount the slates.

- And paint the walls.

- Okay.

That's great,

I'll hire you.

And in exchange, you can

eat food for free in the canteen.

No, no need.

You do not want?

What do you want?

Nothing. I will come tomorrow

after work.

Elza!

Yes, I'm coming.

But where did you learn that?

You can do anything.

I'm a worker.

Like me.

We will celebrate the new house.

It does not matter

that you aren't a Russian.

I'm not either.

If you knew...

I saw all the colors.

I went to lots of places.

I am Romanian, you know?

I have nobody here.

I am alone in the world.

My brother lived in Gomel.

He played in an orchestra,

but he began to drink.

I went to China,

Korea,

Canada.

Then I decided

to settle here.

The traveling is over.

I want to stay here.

I don't want

to be a vagabond anymore.

I'm not that young anymore.

I want to have children.

Otherwise, why live?

He fell ill with the same disease

from which his father died.
