01:30I had hoped that it would be easy enough to allow me to continue my research on lesser-known aspects of Chinese culture.
01:37Then, one day, I happened upon a book that disturbed me very much.
01:57I had hoped that it would be easy enough to allow me to do my research on my research.
02:27I had hoped that it would be easy enough to allow me to do my research on my research.
02:37As I thumbed through the book with curiosity, I discovered that its images excited my imagination in a frightening way.
03:05The book intrigued me.
03:18It evoked images in my mind that shocked me.
03:21Are you ready, Joan?
03:34Yes, I'm finished.
03:36I'll take you home.
03:48Let's go.
03:49So, what would you like to do this evening?
04:01I don't know, Kong.
04:02I would like to, but...
04:03I've heard the show is really good.
04:06I think I'll stay at home.
04:08Oh, come on, Joan.
04:08Let's go.
04:10What do you do at home alone all the time?
04:12I mean, there are so many things to do.
04:14Don't you get bored?
04:16Well, I read.
04:17Oh, come on.
04:18That's all we do all day long.
04:20We work in a library.
04:23Listen, Joan.
04:24You can't stay at home reading every night of the week.
04:28When you get back home to your country, you'll know more than the wisest Chinese scholar.
04:32So, why don't you forget your books for one night and come with me?
04:35Besides, you've told me yourself how many times you like the movies, right?
04:41Of course.
04:43Well, we don't get to see them very often in our province.
04:52There he is.
04:54I saw him again.
04:55Every time I pass by this house, he's there watching me.
04:58Can you see him?
04:59Up there, behind the window.
05:00Well, there's nobody there.
05:06That house has been abandoned for years, Joan.
05:09Don't go crazy on me, huh?
05:24I think you've been reading too many fairy tales, Joan.
05:27Maybe.
05:30Have a great day.
06:00Oh
06:30Oh
07:00Thanks for such a lovely evening, Kong.
07:30My pleasure. Oh, Joan.
07:34No, please, Kong, don't.
07:35I'm sorry.
07:37Don't go and ruin everything now.
07:38Good night.
07:52A dream of unleashed pleasures.
07:55Mm-hmm.
08:05Mm-hmm.
08:07Mm-hmm.
08:12Mm-hmm.
08:14Mm-hmm.
08:20Mm-hmm.
08:24Mm-hmm.
08:26Joan, why didn't you wait for me?
08:56I'm sorry, I don't feel well. I want to go home.
09:02It's because of last night, isn't it?
09:06Please forgive me. It won't happen again. I promise.
09:12I'll see you tomorrow.
09:26I passed again in front of that house.
09:46I felt that something dangerous and fascinating was going to happen,
09:51and that the mysterious man that spied on me would be the catalyst.
09:56I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll see you tomorrow.
10:04I'm sorry. I'll see you tomorrow.
10:12Song Lian, hear me.
10:34Song Lian, hear me.
10:42Song Lian, hear me.
11:12Song Lian, come back to me, Song Lian, come back, I hold you.
11:31Song Lian, come back.
11:43Song Lian, come back.
11:47Song Lian, come back.
11:59Song Lian, come back.
12:03Song Lian, come back.
12:15Song Lian, come back.
12:19Song Lian, come back.
12:31Song Lian, come back.
12:35Song Lian, come back.
12:51Song Lian, come back.
13:07Song Lian, come back.
13:23Song Lian, come back.
13:55Welcome home, Song Lian.
14:14But I'm not Song Lian.
14:16My name is Joan.
14:18Joan Parker.
14:21Another life, Song Lian.
14:25Another time.
14:34Tonight, I'll come back to you, my darling princess.
14:38And you'll be mine forever.
14:41No, please.
14:43It's too dangerous.
14:45They could see you.
14:46Oh.
15:05Oh.
15:06Oh.
15:06Oh.
15:07Oh.
15:08Oh.
15:09Oh.
15:09Oh.
15:10I don't know.
15:40I don't know.
16:10I don't know.
16:11I don't know.
16:12I don't know.
16:13I don't know.
16:14I don't know.
16:15I don't know.
16:16I don't know.
16:17I don't know.
16:18I don't know.
16:19I don't know.
16:20I don't know.
16:21I don't know.
16:22I don't know.
16:23I don't know.
16:24I don't know.
16:25I don't know.
16:26I don't know.
16:27I don't know.
16:28I don't know.
16:29I don't know.
16:30I don't know.
16:31I don't know.
16:32I don't know.
16:33I don't know.
16:34I don't know.
16:35I don't know.
16:36I don't know.
16:37I don't know.
16:38I don't know.
16:39I don't know.
16:40I don't know.
16:41I don't know.
16:42I don't know.
16:43I don't know.
16:49The guards were getting
16:50nearer.
17:03We were exhausted and trapped, without any chance of
17:05salvation, without any hope of escape, of meeting again in another place.
18:20I've been expecting you, my dear.
18:25Please.
18:26Help yourself. Our cooks are the best of all the empire.
18:41The empire? What empire?
18:46You haven't been an empire for quite some time.
18:49It seems like you're living in the wrong era, Mr...
18:54Wang Hu Yan.
18:57Wang Hu Hu. I don't believe I've ever heard that name.
19:00You are the one living in the wrong age, my dear.
19:04But why am I here?
19:13To learn to live again.
19:16At times, oblivion cancels the lessons of time.
19:21When this is true, only love can once more revive the memory of the living.
19:27But you are unaware of all this, my dear.
19:29This must be corrected.
19:32You have forgotten how to love and thus how to live.
19:36That's why you are here now.
19:38And times, whether it's impossible for you.
19:43You have good emotions, I choose to?
19:45Actually, the side is safe.
19:49You are the one living in the right house.
19:52You are the one living in the right house.
19:54I'm the one living in the right house.
19:56You are the one living in the right house.
19:58He's my uncle.
19:58You are the inside.
19:59The inside house merci.
20:00They are the one living in the right house.
20:01Wang's words hit me somehow.
20:27Even if the whole situation seemed absurd, as if in a dream.
20:52How strange. Down in the garden there were armed men, and they seemed to be guarding the house.
21:02Maybe they served to prevent my escape from Wang, or even from myself.
21:10Was I reliving that ancient love story, or was I dreaming it?
21:17Oh.
21:24Oh.
21:29Oh.
21:36Oh.
21:38Oh.
21:42Oh.
21:49Oh.
21:54Oh.
21:55Oh.
21:56Oh.
21:57Oh.
21:58Oh.
21:59Oh.
22:00Oh.
22:01Oh.
22:02Oh.
22:03Oh.
22:04Oh.
22:05Oh.
22:06Oh.
22:17Oh.
22:18Oh.
22:19Oh.
22:20Oh.
22:21Oh.
22:22Oh.
22:23In any case, something unexplainable imprisoned me, physically and morally,
22:28leaving me in a strange, languid, and frightened state.
22:41Wang, how did you get in this room?
22:46Your desire called me.
22:53Just a minute! I'm coming!
23:11What's the matter?
23:13I'm looking for Joan Parker.
23:15I haven't seen her for the past couple of days.
23:18And do you know by any chance where she went?
23:20I heard her go out the other evening.
23:22You see, my hearing is still good, and I'm also a bit curious.
23:26Thank you. You've been very kind.
23:31Why isn't the Master here?
23:41We do not know, Princess Song Nian.
23:44The Master comes and goes.
23:45We limit ourselves to serving him.
23:52Another lie, another time.
24:19That which existed now returns.
24:29We limit ourselves.
24:30Psychiatry with another place.
24:31Even though you're going by us,
24:51Who do you need to learn also?
24:52Who do you need to learn?
24:52What's the Law Pablo practise bring?
24:53He puts them out.
26:54Return Song Lian.
28:10We wanted another chance to meet again, to be together.
28:30We escaped from that nightmare, remember?
28:35But they weren't supposed to capture you.
29:01No, they didn't kill us.
29:27We just escaped from that time to meet again.
29:30Some other day, forever.
30:00My sweet bride, Song Yan.
30:19How far away seem the merciless memories, dear.
30:25Dear.
30:27Dear.
30:29Dear.
30:31Dear.
30:33Dear.
30:35Dear.
30:37Dear.
30:39Dear.
30:41Dear.
30:43Dear.
30:45Dear.
30:46Dear.
30:47Dear.
30:48Dear.
30:49Dear.
30:50Dear.
30:51Dear.
30:52Dear.
30:53Dear.
30:54Dear.
30:55Dear.
30:56Dear.
30:57Dear.
30:58Dear.
30:59Dear.
31:00Dear.
31:01Dear.
31:02Dear.
31:03Dear.
31:04Dear.
31:05Dear.
31:06Dear.
31:07Dear.
31:08Dear.
31:09Dear.
31:10Dear.
31:11Dear.
31:12Dear.
31:13Dear.
31:14Dear.
31:15Dear.
31:16Dear.
31:17Dear.
31:18Dear.
31:19Dear.
31:20Dear.
31:21Dear.
31:22No, she didn't know anybody here.
31:24Maybe someone from out of town?
31:29No, I didn't think so.
31:31In any case, she certainly wouldn't have walked out on a job like that.
31:35We'll look for her.
31:37Don't worry.
31:38We'll do the best we can.
31:40It's our job.
32:22I am pleased that you are learning.
32:39Your natural curiosity stimulates your discovery.
32:45And very soon, your initiation to consciousness will be complete.
32:52I don't know who I am anymore, nor where I come from.
32:58Yet there's something I need to know.
33:03Dreams.
33:05Desires.
33:07Phantoms of life.
33:09You must learn to understand in order to know.
33:20Follow me.
33:22I will continue to guide you in the labyrinth of existence.
33:26And you, who come from another land, will know secrets not even we Chinese know.
33:31I don't know.
33:34I don't know.
33:59I don't know.
33:59I don't know.
34:29I don't know.
34:59The magical atmosphere of that house continually evoke the dream and repeated the memory of my...
35:06I don't know.
35:07I don't know.
35:08I don't know.
35:09I don't know.
35:10I don't know.
35:11I don't know.
35:12I don't know.
35:13I don't know.
35:14I don't know.
35:15I don't know.
35:16I don't know.
35:17I don't know.
35:19I don't know.
35:20I don't know.
35:21I don't know.
35:22I don't know.
35:23I don't know.
35:24I don't know.
35:25I don't know.
35:26I don't know.
35:27I don't know.
35:28I don't know.
35:29I don't know.
35:30I don't know.
35:31I don't know.
35:32I don't know.
35:33I don't know.
35:34I don't know.
35:35I don't know.
35:36I don't know.
35:42I don't know.
35:54I don't know.
36:02Oh, my God.
36:32Oh, my God.
37:02Oh, my God.
37:32Really?
37:33Yeah.
37:34I just sort of climbed in through the window.
37:37Are you crazy?
37:38Suppose somebody saw you.
37:39Anyhow, nobody saw me.
37:41But why?
37:42I don't know.
37:44I hope to find an explanation.
37:46And did you find it?
37:47Well, it was a book of the Kama Sutra.
37:49To what?
37:50She might be a strange girl who's interested in certain forms of religious mysticism.
37:54Some time ago, I met some people who practiced Kama Sutra.
37:58They were quite weird.
37:59They lived isolated from others, like a sect.
38:03They met in places where they could not be watched during their religious practices.
38:09People in town said they were dedicated to real live orgies.
38:13Come on, King.
38:16You mustn't take these stupid things seriously.
38:18It's just prejudice and gossip.
38:20Come on, King.
38:21Let's go.
38:21Let's go.
38:22Let's go.
38:23Let's go.
38:23Let's go.
38:23Let's go.
41:55We so long go with a young knight, and the spirit of that warrior is condemned to wander through the empty rooms of that house until the princess returns.
42:04And now there's no one living in that house?
42:14Of course. It has always been uninhabited. The last owner, I believe he died before I was born, and since the old man didn't have any will at all, the house has been left abandoned.
42:27And that's how the avid local fantasy began to invent wild stories about the house.
42:39Thank you very much, Dr. Gao, you have been very helpful.
42:51Oh, yes.
43:03Oh, yes.
43:17Oh, yes.
43:19Oh, yes.
43:23Oh, reality.
43:26Oh, oh, free.
43:29Oh, yes.
43:32Oh, yes.
43:33Oh, yes.
44:19Oh, my God.
44:49You see, my friend, I'm just an old drunk.
45:11When I walk in the street, people pretend not to see me.
45:16And when I pass, they turn around and they laugh at me.
45:25But I don't complain.
45:26Because life teaches us so many, many lessons.
45:35You must not let fear get the better of you.
45:42You must confront it bravely, you must let it.
45:45You must never, never give in to it.
46:11You must always fight it.
46:15Do whatever you like.
46:18And yet, so often, it's life that bends your resistance and sweeps you away.
46:27Thus, I beg of you.
46:29My boy, don't do what I did.
46:31Don't make the same mistakes.
46:39Whenever you encounter difficulty, you must bear your claws.
