We can only reclaim Taiwan if Fujian is secured
And by reclaiming Taiwan
we will strengthen our maritime trade
Only when our court is prosperous...
Can we have sufficient power
to drive the Qing out of China
You don't know the military affairs
Reporting from frontline
Military Governor Gan Hui!
Two Dutch warships
fired upon Fujian's trading vessels
They engaged in battle all the way
from the Taiwan Straits to Mazu
I have a treaty with
the Dutch Viceroy Kuye in Taiwan
They are not permitted to interfere
with the Fujian trading vessels
How could he break the treaty! We must retaliate
Inform the batteries to fire the canons!
Yes, sir!
My highness
Please don't watch what my father says
Fire!
Over there
Father
My son, never forget...
You must always protect Fujian Province
and our home
Yes, sir
Attack!
Bravo!
Nice job
Have some tea
Mother, please go ahead
Mother
Forget the sadness arising
from your argument about
Father's mauner of anti-Qing
Father selected this dish
Buddha jumping the wall. Just for you
The story is that. This dish is so fragrant...
Even when monks catch whiff of it...
They jump over the monestary wall
just to steal a few bites
That is why this dish is called
Buddha jumping the wall
I can already smell its wonderful fragrance
Mother
Mother, this is hibiscus and swallow nest soup
The tide of a thousand years;
the tears of ten thousand people
The wind blows south; the clouds move north
But neither can carry my grief away
Searching for one's home on horizon far away
Reuniting with parents only in dreams
I ask the plum blossom in the old courtyard:
When can I return?
Pipa is my voice but fails to relieve my worries
Who understands the feelings of these strings...
And the meaning of this song
My lady
I would like to express my gratitude again
for saving my life
You're the girl who was drowning at sea
Your song expresses heartfelt sorrow
My son says your singing expresses
longing for your parents
Can you tell me why?
My lady
I am from Taiwan
During Emperor Tianqi's rule
The Taiwanese revolted against the Dutch...
But unexpectedly, it did not succeed
My parents were both killed
Many of us fled to Fuzhou
Please, my girl
Come with me
I shall be your mother
lmperial Namekeeper!
lmperial Namekeeper!
lmperial Namekeeper!
My respected elders
Zheng Chenggong is at your service...
And await your instructions
I see two people down below
Lower the drawbridge!
It is Officer Zhang
from the Commanding General's headquarters...
But I don't recognize the others
