The White Silk Dress Page #3

200

00:
27:31,549 -- 00:27:32,816

Vietnam was divided

into communist North Vietnam and

201

00:
27:32,816 -- 00:27:35,817

American-backed South Vietnam.

202

00:
29:48,119 -- 00:29:50,554

What is it, darling?

203

00:
29:50,554 -- 00:29:53,555

Your white silk dress.

204

00:
30:56,955 -- 00:30:58,055

Are you going to rake mussels?

205

00:
30:58,055 -- 00:30:59,055

Yes.

206

00:
32:53,572 -- 00:32:56,572

Darling, one of us has

to keep an eye on the baby.

207

00:
33:10,555 -- 00:33:13,555

Don't worry, she's not going anywhere.

208

00:
35:24,989 -- 00:35:26,790

Darling, our daughter

is almost a month old,

209

00:
35:26,790 -- 00:35:29,791

but we still haven't given her a name.

210

00:
36:16,274 -- 00:36:18,842

Let's name her Flood.

211

00:
36:18,842 -- 00:36:21,843

Since we,re poor,

we'll give her an ugly name.

212

00:
36:26,583 -- 00:36:29,052

So she won't suffer from poverty later.

213

00:
36:29,052 -- 00:36:32,053

Our ancestors have always taught us so.

214

00:
37:23,874 -- 00:37:26,874

Mussels, mussels for sale.

215

00:

Mussels for sale.

220

00:
39:35,272 -- 00:39:38,272

Come on. Push! Push harder! Harder!

221

00:
39:39,176 -- 00:39:42,176

It's not your firstborn.

Why is it so difficult?

222

00:
39:43,781 -- 00:39:46,781

Push harder! Harder!

223

00:
39:46,781 -- 00:39:49,817

Push harder! Push harder!

224

00:
39:51,155 -- 00:39:54,155

Push harder!

225

00:
39:54,559 -- 00:39:55,399

Harder!

226

00:
40:26,157 -- 00:40:29,125

You were born the year of the Snake,

227

00:
40:29,125 -- 00:40:30,860

thirty-seven-years-old.

228

00:
40:30,860 -- 00:40:33,861

You have the fate of an orphan.

229

00:
40:34,165 -- 00:40:37,165

Since you were born,

you have had a hard and pitiful life.

230

00:
40:50,014 -- 00:40:53,014

This year will be a very bad year.

231

00:
40:53,550 -- 00:40:55,718

There's a bad star rising for you.

232

00:
40:55,718 -- 00:40:57,588

Your dreams will go unfulfilled.

Disrupted...

233

00:
40:57,588 -- 00:41:00,156

...so bad, very bad.

234

00:
41:00,156 -- 00:41:03,157

Bad times are coming. So bad...

235

00:
41:04,929 -- 00:41:07,929

But you can change your fate.

236

00:
41:09,200 -- 00:41:12,200

If you are not married,

then you must get married.

237

00:
41:14,271 -- 00:41:16,339

And if...

Right, you're right.

238

00:
41:16,339 -- 00:41:18,208

I must get married.

239

00:
41:18,208 -- 00:41:20,210

As a matter of fact, I have a wife,

240

00:
41:20,210 -- 00:41:22,212

but we,re not married yet.

241

00:
41:22,212 -- 00:41:24,080

Could we be considered husband and wife?

242

00:
41:24,080 -- 00:41:25,114

No.

243

00:
41:25,114 -- 00:41:28,084

You will only be considered husband

and wife after a proper wedding.

244

00:
41:28,084 -- 00:41:31,085

Please advise me on a good day

for us to be married.

245

00:
41:37,761 -- 00:41:40,761

It will be good when the element of fire

meets the year of metal.

246

00:
41:41,298 -- 00:41:44,298

According to the movement of

the five elements

247

00:
41:44,535 -- 00:41:47,535

in the universe this year,

the year of the horse,

248

00:
41:48,038 -- 00:41:51,038

the nineteenth of November on the lunar

calendar will be a good day for marriage.

249

00:
41:52,977 -- 00:41:54,611

If you get married this day,

250

00:
41:54,611 -- 00:41:57,612

you will be together forever.

251

00:
42:15,199 -- 00:42:18,199

What is it, darling?

252

00:
43:13,357 -- 00:43:16,357

Darling, we have to name our baby.

253

00:
43:17,529 -- 00:43:20,330

Just look at her, look how cute she is.

254

00:
43:20,330 -- 00:43:23,331

We can't keep calling her

"Whatever" forever.

255

00:
43:23,801 -- 00:43:25,969

They,re all girls.

256

00:
43:25,969 -- 00:43:28,705

There are no more names

left to give them.

257

00:
43:28,705 -- 00:43:31,706

Besides, girls don't need names.

258

00:
43:31,976 -- 00:43:34,976

Calling her "Whatever" is fine.

259

00:
43:34,976 -- 00:43:38,079

Boy or girl, she is still our baby.

260

00:
43:39,183 -- 00:43:42,183

We still have to give her a name.

261

00:
43:43,320 -- 00:43:46,320

How can you say calling her

"Whatever" is fine?

262

00:
44:05,776 -- 00:44:08,444

Dad, Mom, I'm going to school now.

263

00:
44:08,444 -- 00:44:09,545

Walk safely, okay?

264

00:
44:09,545 -- 00:44:10,545

Yes.

265

00:
44:32,403 -- 00:44:35,403

History.

Tay Son Dynasty 1778 - 1802.

266

00:
44:36,740 -- 00:44:39,740

Today we are going to study about

the Tay Son brothers.

267

00:
44:41,912 -- 00:44:44,881

Who can tell me who they were?

268

00:
44:44,881 -- 00:44:47,450

I can, teacher.

269

00:
44:47,450 -- 00:44:48,484

An.

270

00:
44:48,484 -- 00:44:51,485

They were Nguyen Nhac, Nguyen Lu,

and Nguyen Hue.

271

00:
44:53,090 -- 00:44:54,691

Right.

272

00:
44:54,691 -- 00:44:57,692

An, I told you several days ago

273

00:
44:57,692 -- 00:45:00,663

that you have to wear a white dress

274

00:
45:00,663 -- 00:45:02,331

before you can come to this class.

275

00:
45:02,331 -- 00:45:03,966

You have to wear a white dress

like your classmates.

276

00:
45:03,966 -- 00:45:06,967

You and your sister Corn

are now in sixth grade.

277

00:
45:19,950 -- 00:45:21,200

Corn.

278

00:
45:25,522 -- 00:45:27,056

Why are you crying?

279

00:
45:27,056 -- 00:45:30,057

We are not allowed to go to school

if we don't wear white dresses.

280

00:
45:32,362 -- 00:45:35,362

What are we going to do now, Corn?

281

00:
46:14,705 -- 00:46:17,705

Once upon a time, under the Tran Dynasty,

282

00:
46:18,008 -- 00:46:21,008

there was a poor couple

who loved each other very much.

283

00:
46:21,008 -- 00:46:23,980

Daddy,

do you know what this word means?

284

00:
46:23,980 -- 00:46:26,783

Do you know what this word means?

285

00:
46:26,783 -- 00:46:27,817

Attached.

286

00:
46:27,817 -- 00:46:28,818

Wrong.

287

00:
46:28,818 -- 00:46:31,087

Okay, now I am your teacher.

288

00:
46:31,087 -- 00:46:34,088

I'll teach you how to read, okay?

289

00:
46:47,771 -- 00:46:50,771

Can you read this word?

290

00:
46:50,974 -- 00:46:53,974

D... D...Dau.

291

00:
46:53,974 -- 00:46:57,011

Wrong. Dan.

292

00:
46:57,011 -- 00:47:00,047

Dan is mom's name. I can't believe

you don't know how to spell it.

293

00:
47:00,350 -- 00:47:03,119

I'll teach you to read so

when you grow up

294

00:
47:03,119 -- 00:47:06,120

you will be able to read

and write like me and An.

295

00:
47:06,790 -- 00:47:09,790

And someday you will be able to read

the newspaper and write mom's name.

296

00:
47:11,495 -- 00:47:14,495

Yesterday, my teacher taught

me a new word. "Peace".

297

00:
47:15,465 -- 00:47:18,465

ls "Peace" beautiful, Daddy?

298

00:
47:19,970 -- 00:47:22,538

I have never seen "Peace".

299

00:
47:22,538 -- 00:47:25,539
