After we finish taking down the old house,

Guigui and I want to adopt a child...

We will call on you for the

brigade's support at that time...

OK, I'll support you...

Director Gu, when the time comes,

will you be the child's godfather?

Me, godfather? The one who

sells you rice chaff? People will talk...

Ha ha, I'm just joking, of course

I'll be godfather... We'll all prosper!

Hey, Li... Manager Li...

I mean, Section Chief Li...

You've been gone

for more than a year, eh?

After you get settled, I want

to apply for Branch Secretary...

- You're Wang Qiushe, right?

- Yes...

- Wang was a Land Reform activist...

- Hi, Old Wang!

We'll be coming to your house soon...

Huh? My place is a filthy wreck,

you don't want to see that...

We're looking for someone

who has borne a heavy resentment...

Take care, watch your step!

You officials are really tireless...

Comrades, it's already been

Yet Land Reform activists

like Wang Qiushe...

...have not yet been fully emancipated!

How do we solve this problem?

If we don't seize class struggle and

launch movements, what else can we do?

What's going on in the town?

Oh, Hu Yuyin is celebrating her

new house, its really lively...

They have wine and meat, we should go.

Chief Li, let's go over there!

Hu Yuyin?

The one who sells rice tofu?

That's her. If I didn't run into you,

I would have already gone over there...

- Come on, drink up! Give her a full cup!

- It's a special occasion!

Drink it dry!

- Come help me drink this!

- OK, I'll help her drink!

Open wide and drink it down!

- Punish her by making her sing!

- Make a speech!

I'm no good at speaking...

But I'll bow before all of you!

Hey, over here! Bow for us, too!

OK, over here!

Brother Mangeng, help me!

OK, OK! Let's ask Old Gu

to say a few words...

Never forget class struggle!

The rich get richer,

and the poor get poorer...

That's the cause of this polarization

we have in the villages...

- Comrades, our task here is momentous!

- Yes...

Qiushe, why didn't you come

over and drink yesterday?

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer...

It's time for a movement...

Chief Li, is this movement going

to be like during Land Reform?

Right, like a second land reform?

A second land reform?

Should we redraw the class lines?

Correct, we are overhauling

the class ranks and alignments...

...to make a clear demarcation

between left, right and center!

Old Wang, you've got quite

a few ideas, eh? That's good...

Are we going to split up

everybody's property and wealth?

- Something like that...

- Now this is a movement I can support!

Old Wang, you are from

this place, so tell us...

Which cadres in this town are
