Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Page #3

And yours?

Good.

However, I do not know why

Lady Lu disapproves of you.

But I am still here.

- I am happy.

- Me too.

Lady Lu, I know what I did was wrong.

Lady Lu!

Disobedience is a woman's greatest sin.

Auntie.

You're here.

I flew all night and all day to get back.

You know...

...Sophia and I haven't talked

since that night.

I know.

When she first came back from Australia,

she came to see me at the gallery.

How was she?

She seemed...

...very depressed.

And she was more depressed

the next few times I saw her.

She didn't even want me to know

where she lived.

Why?

Did she come back with Arthur?

No. She told me she left him.

I told her he was no good.

Nobody knows where she lives?

No.

I should have told you earlier.

But I could not bear to tell you the truth.

My father was addicted

to the opium pipe.

He ruined our family.

Our fates have been reversed.

But our love will always be strong.

I am happy we are blessed with sons.

We are fulfilling our fates.

But now the typhoid epidemic is upon us.

Death is all around.

Everyone is afraid and anxious.

I hope you are safe where you are.

Dead, dead.

Madam, it is time for your medicine.

Everyone is dead.

Madam!

Madam!

Have some, madam. You will feel better.

- Children.

- Mother.

Do not come over here. Go back.

Mother, do not leave us.

I am not avoiding you.

I may be infected.

Mother.

I am always with you in my heart.

Good children.

Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

The master is back!

The master is back.

Master and Lady Lu passed away.

They both succumbed to the plague.

On this day of the New Year...

...we became Master and Lady Lu.

Mrs. Liao.

It's Nina. I used to teach Sophia Chinese.

Do you remember me?

I remember.

I'd like to speak with you about Sophia.

She's had a terrible accident.

Accident? What accident?

I haven't spoken to her in years.

Sophia never saw me as her mother.

Don't touch me.

You see how I'm forced to live?

My husband died,

my stepdaughter abuses me.

I'm a squatter in my own house.

This roof could fall in any minute.

Understand now?

I hear you're doing well.

Good career.

You have a bright future.

I've lost everything. Everything.

- Madam.

- Don't call me "madam. "

Madam.

- Mrs. Liao.

- I'm not Mrs. Liao anymore!

When I had money, I was Mrs. Liao.

Now I'm just a ghost!

Today the stock market hit a new low due

to the liquidation of Peregrine investments.

Why did you invest everything

in the stock market?

You're losing all of our money.

Do they ever stop?

Since May '97,

major indices have been in a free fall.

We haven't paid our bills

in three months!

I'm losing patience with you! Stop now!

I can't take this. I'm leaving!
