Blind Mountain Page #3

Synopsis: China, the 1990s. In villages where female babies are drowned, there are few young women to marry the men and bear more sons. Families buy wives - girls lured from the city. Bai finishes college and accepts a job in a remote mountain village harvesting herbs. It's a ruse: she's sold to a peasant family. She's indignant; the parents hold her so the son can rape her. She tries to run away; she's beaten. Other women kidnapped a few years before, now with children, tell her to comply. She continues to try to escape. She writes to her father, smuggling letters to the mailman. She obtains a bit of money. The village is without pity, except for the teacher. Can he help her? Anger mounts.

If I can't escape, I'd rather die.

Don't do anything crazy.

It's easy to die. Living is what's hard.

Just think of your parents.

You owe it to them...

to keep on living.

Wait until you can go about more freely.

Then think of a way to run away.

Chen, want a drink?

No thanks.

We have to go. Come see us soon.

Take care.

Okay.

Come and see me.

Why'd you buy two piglets?

Why not? We have to pay the tax anyway.

Where'd you get the money?

Borrowed it.

You always borrow money.

See if you can pay it back!

Women don't understand sh*t.

Fourth Uncle.

You've come. Come in.

Did you buy these piglets?

Borrowed them.

Where's my cousin?

In the field.

Cousin, are you feeling better?

I'm not your cousin!

Sorry. I'm your husband's cousin.

My name is Decheng.

My name means "integrity."

You're that teacher.

Thanks for saving my life.

I didn't do anything.

I've wanted to stop by.

Teacher Huang,

just call me by my first name.

I shouldn't. Don't call me 'teacher.'

You were in school longer than me.

I brought you a few books.

I hope you'll like them...

I don't have any good books.

Uncle, see you!

You just read these stupid books!

Feed the pigs!

Are you trying to burn the pigs?

If anything happens to them,

I'll beat you to death!

Village Chief! Village Chief!

Village Chief!

What is it?

She wants to see you.

Oh, your case.

I'm still looking into it.

I still haven't heard back

from the police.

Go on back.

I'll let you know when I hear something.

Thank you.

No problem.

Get back to your game.

Take care.

Snake eyes!

Royal flush!

Chen, I can't take it.

Which road should I take to run away?

Don't take the big road.

Take the small path out.

Once over the mountain,

you'll see the main road.

Then you'll have made it.

Which mountain?

The tallest mountain over there.

Auntie, what are you singing?

Do you like it?

Yes.

What's your name?

Li Qingshan.

Are you in school?

Yes.

Which grade?

Fourth.

Don't call me Auntie.

Call me Sister Bai, okay?

Okay.

Go on. Say it.

Sister Bai.

You're here.

So this is your college-educated wife.

You owe me a drink.

Then come over for a drink.

Next time.

- See you.

- Take care.

She's listening to you now, right?

I told you she just needed a beating.

It's 15.80.

Put it on my tab.

Come and get this.

Come if you need anything.

What do you want?

A bag of salt.

See that woman? She tried to run away.

Same thing would happen to you.

Chen, I'm going to run away.

Be careful.

If you make it, tell my folks I'm here.

Ask them to come save me.

Okay.

Where are you going?

To pee.

Have you seen Xue Mei?

Not good for much,

but sure knows how to pee.

Your clothes got washed away.
