and we're to do parties now?

We're not beasts of burden!

I'm telling you.

I'm Ah Bing from Shaoxing.

Matron Shen is here,

let's go.

Matron Shen has come especially

to see you.

Please sit down.

Fine. I've made up my mind.

Matron Shen would like to be your patroness.

These costumes are a gift to commemorate

your first meeting.

Come, thank the Matron.

I will thank her on behalf of

Sister Chunhua. Matron.

Good. Matron Shen. Please come

watch the opera.

You fool. It's not right to take these.

Give them to me to return.

We must have a patroness in Shanghai.

Zhu Chunhua"

"XING YUEHONG

Zhu Chunhua"

Miss Zhu, here's an article I wrote

about you.

Yuehong, the character is

a poor scholar.

Why change costumes for each act?

The audience likes it.

You make such a fuss.

The wind doesn't blow,

the water doesn't move.

It's our performance that matters.

Costumes must be changed regularly.

Look at you, for an entire year

wearing a few costumes

over and over again.

That's ridiculous.

It's really this way.

No wonder you despise me.

On stage I want many costumes.

Off stage I have lots of clothes.

I also have lots of friends.

It's because we sing in a big theatre.

It's so people don't look down on us.

What's wrong with that?

As for the billboard,

I asked for twin billings.

The current billing...

was Manager Tang's idea.

I'm not to blame.

You're jealous of me.

"Opera Facing Crisis"

Miss Xing will be a little late tonight.

Shang Shuihua, the manager phoned.

He asked you to open

with a solo.

Get made up.

Another price increase!

One month's income...

isn't enough to buy cosmetics!

Come! Manager Tang's treat!

Miss Xing, can I have your autograph?

Have you been drinking?

Yuehong, be honest with me.

Who have you been drinking with?

What have you been doing these days?

You need not ask.

I'm not going to sing anymore.

You're really drunk.

No. I'm sober.

I've decided to marry him.

Marry him?

Who will take care of us

when we're old?

That's why I've decided to marry

Manager Tang.

Yuehong, do you know his reputation?

He promised to marry me officially.

I'll finally have a real home.

You cannot do it!

Did you forget Master's last words?

Sister Chunhua, a horse

cannot die at the mill.

A person cannot die at the theatre.

We're helpless.

We're only actresses.

Chunhua... Yuehong...

Some people from the country

are here to see you.

We've finally found you sisters!

Our life in the countryside

has become unbearable.

- The Japanese army.

- Also the Nationalist army.

The terrible situation is getting worse.

The countryside now...

has become a living hell.

Don't talk like that.
