BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING NOVEL
FOR LITERATURE, 1973
This is the story of an ethnic group
that lived in 757 AD.
The rulers of the country regarded them
as mere uncivilized barbarians
They were exploited and persecuted
until their only choice
was to flee the country.
They sought a new homeland
where they could live in peace and freedom.
The people of Ler,
Khanu, Yuro, Dtai, and Thanai
were united in their quest for freedom
Many died from disease
or from the many perils they faced.
But they met each challenge
with determination and courage,
and vowed to maintain their bond forever.
ADAPTED BY NIRATTISAI KALJARUEK
AND PINYO KRONGTHONG
the Qin Dynasty came to rule.
The mighty Han army
exercised its power ruthlessly.
It conquered new territory and expanded
into areas occupied by free ethnic tribes.
were forced to take up arms
It was the land where they were born
and where their ancestors were buried.
Gumpawa!
Mother!
Run away now!
Or the Han will make you a slave.
Mother!
When the Han army had taken the land,
it was stained
with the blood and tears of its people.
Tai child!
Come with me!
Burn it all!
The Han army was enormous,
and its military strength was unstoppable.
The people of the Cheung Dao valley
forced to flee in different directions.
20 years later
the children who had survive
were now grown up.
They lived in six separate regions.
But they awaited the day
when they could be reunited,
a day when their nation could be reborn
a day when they could be united in peace
under the name Thai,
a word meaning "free".
They dreamed of a day when
they could be free in their own land.
And free from the oppression of the Han.
Now, Ler City.
Stop the carriage!
Next up...
Lamphun!
From Ler City.
Come on! Quickly! It's your turn.
Come on! Quickly! It's your turn.
Never mind that! Come on!
Get them, Lamphun!
Next up...
Jotan!
I see you allow them to fight with weapons.
Don't you think that's unwise, Tiewliang?
It can only encourage insubordination.
These people come together
from six different regions.
They openly display their skills and weapons.
It's surely better than letting them
hide their skills
and weapons from us. Right, Libong?
Is there anyone else who wants to take on
Lamphun from Ler City?
Is there anyone?
How about you
Not me! It's much too scary! No way!
If there are no more challengers,
then you get the prize!
Give it back!
If you meant it,
you have to fight my brother first!
If you want the prize so badly...
come and get it from me!
My name is Libong.
I'm Tiewliang's new military adviser.
I am here under orders of Emperor Qin,
ruler of this land.
I want all you peasants to know who I am.
Peasants, eh?
I see we have a peasant here
who thinks he's a fighter, right?
Soldiers!
Get him!
Stop!
Hurry up, Buakham.
Do you want to play with Guchin? Let's go!
Prepare the carriage.
Are you ever going
You've already got
I need them to be sharp,
and I need to keep making them.
