Under the Hawthorn Tree Page #4

Please.

We have to strictly follow the rules

of the hospital for the revolution.

What's the difference if you return tomorrow?

Come back tomorrow.

Why are you taking me shopping?

I'm buying things you need for tonight.

I borrowed Nurse Gao's dorm room.

You must sleep on a bed tonight.

How about a new jacket for you?

You said the hawthorn has red flowers.

This should be the same color.

It's too vibrant.

Not at all. It suits you.

Don't just wear blue like everyone else.

OK, if you like it.

Wei can make one for me.

She has a sewing machine.

Do you want to see that hawthorn with me?

There are no flowers now.

And it's far away. Maybe next time.

We might hot have the chance.

That's not true. We'll have plenty of chances.

Male comrade, closer to female comrade.

A little more.

Female comrade, closer to male comrade.

Male comrade, lift your chin.

Female comrade, lift your chin too.

Don't be embarrassed

That's the friendship of the

proletariat revolution.

A friend afar makes distant lands near.

Great, just like that!

It's the mark for you.

No matter where I em

when I hear your name

I'll come back to you with this scar.

What style will be good for my jacket?

You'll look good in any style.

When I get it made, I'll wear it for you.

Great

Once that hawthorn tree has flowers.

I'll wear this jacket and go with you.

If the Mowers are red

we'll see if the color matches my jacket.

Of course. We'll go together.

I told the doctor that I won't go back

to the hospital tonight.

May I stay?

Don't worry

I guess I should go back.

No, stay

How can we sleep such a small bed?

We can switch this time.

You sleep on the bed, I'll sit on the chair.

No

You sleep on the bed, I'll sit on the chair.

How about

neither of us sit on the chair tonight?

I'll get some hot water to wash your feet.

Where did you get that?

At the hospital's gift shop.

Where's the shop?

To the left of this building.

What took you so mug?

Let's wash your feet.

Let me show you a magic trick.

Close your eyes.

Open your eyes

How'd you do that?

I can't step on the hawthorn.

I'll make it dirty.

Right, We shouldn't make it dirty.

Where did you get it?

At the hospital's gift shop.

It was closing so I begged the clerk.

Those are hawthorn berries.

So beautiful.

I knew you'd like it.

Let's wash your feet.

Do they still hurt?

No, they healed.

I'm so happy to know you.

Go to sleep. I'll be here with you.

I don't want you over there.

I want you in bed with me.

I could just look at you like this

for the rest of my life.

I'd already decided before I got here.

You can do whatever you want tonight.

Come lie beside me.

Books say that when a man and a woman

Me together, the woman will get pregnant.

Are you afraid I'll get pregnant?

You'll get pregnant tn the future

You'll have kids.

You'll be a mother, then a grandmother.

You'll have many grandchildren.

What about you?

If you live, I won't die.

But if you die,

I'll really be dead.

Do you understand?

Wei?

Have you returned to visit your family.

Is anyone else home?

No one else.

What's wrong?

What happened?

I'm pregnant.

If he'd admit to it,

I'd keep the baby.

I was planning on marrying him.

But he ran off,

and said the baby wasn't his.

Who is he?

Who else? The guy in Class 2.

What are you going to do?

Get rid of it.

What do you mean?

An abortion.

Don't you know what that is?

I can't do it in the city hospital.

Someone might tell my mother.

I'll go to the county hospital.

Nobody Knows me there

I'll have to get a legal permit first.

You have to go with me.

I'll perm my hair to look older.

Men.

You can't let them succeed.

Don't ever be as foolish as I was.

What do you mean by "succeed"?

You really don't know?

Succeed, as in sleeping in the same bed.

Sleeping in the same bed?

The boy you made the goldfish for,

you let him succeed too?

I heard he was sick.

No. it's a ploy!

He just wanted your sympathy

The boy from Class 2

said he had cancer.

What a liar!

If a man

is nice to you

it's only because he wants to succeed.

Once he succeeds, he'll dump you.

Don't doubt my words.

Learn from my mistake.

Go find him.

I'm sure he's run off already.

Comrade, where's Sun?

He was released from the hospital yesterday.

You're the one that came a few days ago.

I'm Nurse Gao.

Sun left something for you.

Did he have a message?

No

What's wrong with him?

His unit sent him here for a physical.

Not for leukemia?

Leukemia?

Can't be we can't treat leukemia here.

Hey, comrade take it.

You can keep it.

He already gave me a basin.

He said you must keep this one.

Thanks.

What's wrong with you?

It's not me...

Then who?

Where's her relative?

Mom,

Was the operation a success?

Your hair

looks like a rat's nest!

You think others won't recognize you?

Sit down.

You know that

our family background isn't good.

If people find out about this,

you'll have to stay

in the countryside for life.

So what? Who cares?

Maybe policies will change one day.

What?

What did you say?

I don't care if I stay in the

countryside for life.

We raised you for nothing!

Fine, go to the countryside!

I won't care for you any more!

So painful.

I don't want to be pregnant again.

Will I get pregnant too?

Of course. Right away.

What do you mean by that?

Didn't you let him succeed?

Did you let him succeed or not?

Tell me what happened that night.

In detail.

That's it?

Just holding hands?

Did you get naked?

No

Are you lying to me?

He didn't succeed.

That's nothing!

You're so ignorant.

You know what?

That boy sounds like

a really good man.

He truly loves you.

Last time we had the talk,

you promised me that

you wouldn't see each other

during your probation.

Why are you behaving like this?

Aren't you afraid

you'll be dismissed?

I have to find him.

It's not something

you have to do at your age!

Tell me.

What happened?

Why must you find him?

He probably has leukemia.

Leukemia?

Was it diagnosed already?

I'm not sure. I heard it from Fang.

When I was younger

I was just as committed as you are.

That's Why I married your father.

Jing!

Auntie Jing!

What brings you here?

You're skinnier than last year. Come in.

Have you eaten?

Come, I'll get chopsticks.

Sit down.

Sister Jing, are you looking for Sun?

Poor Sun

Why did he get such a terrible illness?

We haven't seen him for months.

Ask the Geological Exploration Unit.

Maybe he's fine.

Haven't seen him for a long time.

I heard he's sick.

Sick with leukemia?

A worker in our unit died of leukemia last year.

But I don't think Sun has it.

He's always been so healthy.

One time he took metal samples

from our unit for lab tests.

He wanted to find the cause of the workers death.

I'm not sure if his illness

has anything to do wth that.

Hurry! He's still waiting!

Are you Jing?

I'm Sun's father.

I know my son is waiting for you.

Go and say goodbye to him.

Call his name quickly,
