Shadow Magic Page #3

It's bloody working.

White light that moves.

Incredible!

What a strange experience.

Young man...

how did you get those foreigners

to come here?

Behind that funny face

is a magic lens.

When we shine light through it,

another world is revealed.

I am lucky to have witnessed this.

As the old proverb says, "There are

mountains beyond the mountains."

-It's true!

-Come back with your family and friends.

Thank you. We will!

Something new at my age!

This is for you.

Be careful with that.

Be careful with that.

It's very expensive.

One, two, three--

Four. For you.

Thank you.

No, no, it's for you.

They're for you.

It's yours.

It's yours.

No, it's yours.

You earned it. Yours.

- Not enough.

- Eh?

Not enough?

This is my show.

It's my show.

Mine. Mine.

The show.

But no I...

no-no people.

No people, no I.

Fair enough.

All right.

Four, five...

six.

There you are.

Seven.

Eight.

How much do you want? I mean,

I've got expenses to pay, you know?

I need job.

It's like that, is it?

Well, I suppose I could find

some use for you somewhere.

All right.

You can call me Raymond.

- Master Raymond.

- Raymond.

Your name?

Liu Jing Lun.

- Shou Liu.

- Shou Liu.

Congratulations, Shou Liu.

You've got yourself a job

working for Raymond Wallace...

showman extraordinaire.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, Liu.

They liked it, didn't they?

- Like.

- Good.

- Good.

- This enough.

We're in...

I think, luck.

Your future husband

is very attentive.

Let's get out of here!

I want to see Shadow Magic.

What about Lord Tan's new opera?

Listen to this.

"Shadow Magic comes alive

in the dark.

Every moment is a delightful surprise.

A Western girl dances...

her yellow hair flies in the air."

It's silly, but lovely.

It's true.

I've seen it.

Wonders from a thousand miles away

appear before your eyes!

I've got to see this!

That's foreign mischief.

We should be loyal

to Lord Tan's opera.

Such coarse food!

I chop my carrots so delicately,

they melt on your tongue.

I looked upon foreigners as soldiers.

I never imagined them with families.

They appear to have feelings.

Even a sense of humor.

The next scene

is a snowball fight.

It's very realistic.

Thank you, thank you.

Come again. Please.

Watch your step.

Liu?

Miss Tan.

This is a strip of film.

Look. All the pictures are similar.

So this is Shadow Magic.

I'm surprised you're playing

with these Western tricks.

I never got your full name.

It's Liu Jing Lun.

But you can call me Liu.

Liu.

Why are you so intrigued

by Western gimmicks?

They're wonderful inventions.

Why should we care

where they come from?

Let me show you something.

There's old Zhang--
