English transcript reference

Qingyu's school opened today. Five planes came. There are a lot of people.

Mulan has something to do today. This thing, she cannot talk about.

They're all watching the planes. I'm not.

Then what are you watching?

I'm watching you. Where do you want to go today?

I'm not going anywhere.

Good. You don't go, I don't go.

Don't follow me.

I'm not following you. Wherever you go, I'll be there.

Behind the school there are some children. They don't talk, and they don't eat.

Eat.

The children look at Mulan. None of them eat.

They don't dare eat.

There's someone behind us watching them.

When did you come in?

You were only watching the children. So I came in.

Today you're not going to see anything.

I saw it. What you didn't want me to see, I saw all of it.

Someone said something to Mulan. Mulan is about to leave.

Where are you going?

I'm going out.

You can't go now. I've invited everyone to watch an opera. This opera is for you.

I'm not watching an opera.

The person in the opera died three years ago, and today she came back. Can a dead person come back?

In an opera she can.

Three years ago you left. Why didn't you say one word to me?

Not today.

Today. Sit down.

Mulan sat down. She wants to go, but she can't.

There's a bomb on the plane. Getting in means dying. Mulan knows, but she can't say it.

This plane can't fly today.

Why?

I can't say.

Then I'll fly it.

Can you fly a plane?

Yes. You don't believe me?

It's very dangerous up there.

I know. Mulan, you're coming up with me.

What are you trying to do?

If you don't get in, then Qingyu comes up with me.

Mulan looks at Qingyu, then at the plane. She wants to say: don't get in. But she can't say it.

I'll go.

The plane went up. Up there, it's only the two of them.

There's no one else now. Tell me about three years ago.

Three years ago, I was looking for Xiaolan.

Who is Xiaolan?

She raised me.

Where is she?

In the Huo house.

The Huo house has a lot of people.

I went three times, and I couldn't get in.

I came here because I wanted to find Xiaolan.

Then why were you writing to me?

I missed you.

And then?

And then I saw you. You were the one writing the letters. Those days, I was very happy.

Those days, I was happy too.

I know.

You want me to believe you?

Listen to me first. That year, you said the Huo family had something on, and you asked me if I'd go.

You said yes.

I only had that one day to get into the Huo house.

When we got there, I said I was going out to look around.

And you walked away.

You walked away so I could go find Xiaolan.

I was on this side of the door. Xiaolan was on the other side. Just one door.

And then?

And then I never saw her again.

Three years, and you only tell me today.

Today you wouldn't let me go. That's why I'm telling you.

The plane is up there. The people below are waiting for them to come back. The bomb is up there too. Qingyi doesn't know.
