Under the Hawthorn Tree Page #2

My mother was a capitalist.

She jumped off e building four years ego.

My mother cared a lot about her looks.

Before the suicide, she washed her face,

combed her haw

and changed into clean clothes.

In the end, her face was ruined in the fall.

Maybe that was her destiny.

Why are you m a bad mood?

You're leaving soon,

so I've brought you crystal sugar.

I'll pay you back

for the sugar

and the new pen

You need money to help your mother.

I have a good salary.

Spending this money is no big deal.

It's a big deal to me.

My dad isn't a senior cadre in the city.

If you insist, pay me back

after you get your job.

With my background, who'd give me a job?

I'll have someone take the money to you.

I'm leaving,

so let's not see each other any more.

Jing, you managed a great achievement

for the revolution by going to the countryside.

Director Li, I'd like to find e temporary job.

My mother is sick and we're facing difficulty.

You're so tiny.

It's hard to find work that suits you.

I'm afraid you can't handle it.

Our great leader Chairman Mao teaches us

to fear neither hardship nor death.

Well said.

Sister Jing.

I said I'd visit you in the summer.

Two popsicles

No. it's on me.

What's this money for?

So you don't have to be a field laborer.

Who gave you this money?

Xiping Village.

Who from Xiping Village.?

My family.

I can't take money from your family.

It's really from Sun.

Take it

No, ms fiancee won't be happy

What fiancee

Who told you that?

I overheard your mother saying it.

She said she saw her photograph.

No, that's his sister's picture.

He uses it to fool others

It's a misunderstanding.

Sun Knows you're upset

So he wouldn't let me tell you

that the money is from him.

I have an income.

Take it he cares so much for you

He doesn't want you to get hurt at work.

Just go back and tell him

you couldn't find me.

I'm here!

Why are you always late?

You're exhausted even before training.

Have you bought a uniform yet?

You're the only one without one.

OK, take your position.

Good, let's get started.

Nice serve!

Lin!

What're you doing here?

How long have you been Waiting?

Walnuts.

We make envelopes. 1 cent for every 10.

Your family is worse off than the peasants.

Who bought the crystal sugar?

Eldest Brother got doctor-prescribed

supplement coupons.

I got this at a countryside cooperative.

Let me cook for you.

No need. I've already eaten

Lin!

There's money in the bag!

Don't let Auntie wash it!

I saw you playing volleyball at school.

Go buy a uniform.

Don't ruin the image of the team.

I know you're number 5.

Great serve!

Great serve!

We been watching you may

Jing, where's the ball?

Hurry,Jing

Don't let my teacher see you here.

Don't worry, I'm leaving now.

Jing

You look so pretty in the uniform.

Older sister!

Older sister!

A man asked me to give you this.

He also gave me hawthorn berries.

Then a tractor took him away

Was he wearing a blue padded jacket?

He's tall

and wears large shoes.

Don't tell mother.

Why?

Don't ask.

Do you want to eat duck?

Why don't you turn on the light?

Where are the hawthorn berries from?

Fang from Xiping Village brought them to me

I first met you on this day last year.

I thought,

Why does this girl look so sad?

I'm always like this.

Because of your family's political hardship?

My father is a rightist.

He's still in political prison.

My mother is sick.

If I'm sent back to the countryside,

things will be even worse for my family.

Maybe political policies will change

and we won't have to go to the countryside.

That's impossible.

No, it's true.

Even my father will resume work

He asked me to return to the capital

My family wants to introduce a girl

to me for marriage.

Are you going to leave me?

Of course not. I'll never betray you.

You might not have fallen in love before

and not believe in eternal love.

When you do fall in love,

you'll know there's someone.

Who'd rather die than betray you.

Are you cold?

Let's go back.

Let's share the jacket.

It's not big enough for two.

Are you still cold?

No

I still have a year of probation.

I'll wait for you for one year and one month

My mother won't let me fell in love before I'm 25.

Then I'll wait until you're 25.

What if I still can't be with you when I'm 25?

Then I'll wait for you my whole life.

Sister, where have you been?

Mother fell down when she went looking for you.

Didn't you say you were visiting a classmate?

I went to your classmate's home.

Someone from Xiping Village came to visit me.

A boy or a girl?

A girl. We talked a while by the river.

You promised me you'd behave well

The decision about your job as e teacher

will be made soon.

Many people are jealous.

If there are problems at this critical moment,

your career will be ruined,

and your Whole life too.

It'll be on your record forever!

I heard that

your father is coming home soon.

- Daddy is coming home.

- Daddy is coming home.

Don't tell anyone else.

We could lose everything.

Do you understand?

From now on,

you'll have a curfew at night

You're in love, aren't you?

Don't ask. Just teach me to weave a goldfish.

Goldfish?

Where's the fisherman?

Sending educated young people

to receive re-education from peasants

is absolutely necessary.

Our great leader Chairman Mao teaches us,

"The countryside is filled with opportunities.

Only in the fields can young people

discover their full potential."

I'll certainly be called.

I'll be a farmer for life.

Maybe political policies will change

and we won't have to go to the countryside.

Wow, you're talking differently now.

You must be in love!

Nonsense!

Behave well

Humbly accept re-education from the farmers.

Do you understand?

- Mom, I know.

- It's not like home there.

So don't do crazy things.

OK?

Mother, I know

Stop crying. nobody else is.

Mom, I have to go.

Hey, look over there!

That's the guy from class 2!

We've been sent to the same place.

Where?

At the side of the truck.

You should be grateful that

the party let you work here.

Parents' mistakes belong to the parents,

but children can be re-educated.

Political performance is crucial.

Your probation period will be challenging.

I hope you won't let the Party down.

I'll try hard to repay the Party's care

For the summer break,

I volunteered to help repair the basketball court.

Good

Why does the school let you do this?

It's too much.

I volunteered for this job.

We'll let someone else do it.

No, I can do one more round.

Don't let others see we're together.

I'm still on probation. I can't make a false move.

I know.

That's Why I came now

when there's nobody around

it's lunchtime. Let's sneak away.

Really?

The repairs can't be that urgent.

Let me take you to the river.

Nobody's there

I can't swim.

Chairman Mao teaches us that

We should struggle against hardship.

Sun teaches Jing that

she should learn how to relax.

That's nonsense

It's too ugly can't wear this
