Looks like you are really blind

I am blind So what?

Have eyes but see not

I have to go. Where is the door?

On your left

Turn right

Sorry...

What exactly do you want?

We are from the military

We know that people like you

would meet at a place

after dispersal

Where is your meeting place

with Luo San-er

We don't have one Fatso

take him away

We've arranged to

meet tomorrow morning

Where?

Can I tell you tomorrow morning?

Why can't you tell me now?

Will I survive if I tell you now?

I will tell you tomorrow morning

Are you afraid I will flee?

OK:

Pinwheel... drop by

and buy a pinwheel

Authentic Lanzhou noodle

Popcorn... popcorn

Watch out...

Watch out...

Can't you just leave me alone?

Did you come here by

tracing the sound?

Alas!

Why do you bring me back here?

Aren't you looking for Brother San?

We agreed that we'd meet

at Zhu Jia Jiao

He'll be gone if

I don't get there soon

I heard that when

you were 13, on a tree...

you and your elder brother watched the

Japanese soldiers enter your village

They discovered and

shot you with guns

You both fell from the tree,

your brother died

and you fainted

The Japanese thought your were dead,

they didn't shoot again

When your mother found you,

a night had passed

Since then your eyes

couldn't see anything

but your ears became more

and more sensitive

At 16, even a mosquito flying by...

would give you the jitters

Luo San-er was your townsman,

he discovered your talent

and took you to Shanghai

to make a living

Is this your story?

Who told you that?

You blind idiot,

how dare you come here?

I'll beat you up, I...

you stay right here!

I...I'll beat you up...

I told you to earn money,

and you got people killed

If it were not these leaders

who bore with you

you blind idiot

would have been dead long ago

Don't you hear me clearly?

No No? He...

OK, let me tell you clearly...

tell you clearly

Son... you can't avert

this misfortune

Do you hear me clearly now?

Clear now? Clear this time

From now on we

will listen to you

We will always listen to you

No problem, my son's ears

are super sensitive

Chief

our country is developing,

it needs loads of manpower

You don't need to drag in

so many people to care for my mom

Though she looks old

she... is very nimble,

and has an agile mind

She can take care of herself

I know she is nimble and agile,

I fear she would escape

With me in your hands,

how can she escape?

With she in my hands,

you will not escape

It is my honor to

serve the country

why would I escape?

Alright, I'll accept fate

You all want to take

advantage of my ears

But you have to tell me what

you want me to do
