The Japanese won't hurt us.

To have you cut your hair is to protect you.

I won't cut it.

I need it to feed myself when the war is over.

You want to go back to the streets?

So what if I earn my own living?

You can't even if you want to.

With each other we are deeply in love.

This heart of mine has long been yours to keep.

Hold out your hands.

Here.

That's good.

Miss Jiang.

Remember you discovered my earring holes.

That is to say

in the Safely Zone?

Yes. Most are injured.

Thanks, Mr Tang.

You've helped a lot.
