00:00At Yellow Crane Tower in the west, my old friends...
00:04After one night of wind and showers, how many are the fallen flowers?
00:07A thousand miles from home, I'm grieved at autumn's...
00:10Lonely smoke rises straight over endless river...
00:13How rare the moon, so round and clear.
00:16With cup in hand, I ask of the blue sky.
00:30My dear, why are you patching up these clothes again?
00:39I saw you doing quite a bit of mending yesterday.
00:42This one is for our little son.
00:44He took a tumble yesterday and tore the sleeve a little.
00:48I'm patching it up for him again.
00:53They're all worn out like this.
00:56Why don't you make a new one instead?
00:59Now, even our rice jar is almost empty.
01:03Let alone making new clothes.
01:06This is all my fault.
01:09In these troubled times, where people are suffering...
01:12I truly do not know when these days will come to an end...
01:15And the common people can once again live a prosperous life.
01:19There's no need to blame yourself, dear.
01:22With renegades causing havoc, times are indeed tough.
01:26For now, it's already good for our family to remain here...
01:29And be sheltered from the war.
01:32I wonder when this chaos will end.
01:35Daddy!
01:37Daddy!
01:39Granny Li's son, who joined the army at the border, sent her a letter.
01:43She wanted you to read it for her.
01:47Because I'm unable to read...
01:50Every time I have to trouble you to read my son's letter...
01:53I'm greatly indebted.
01:55Don't say that, Granny Li.
01:57Helping each other is what we should do.
02:07Mother, I hope this letter finds you well.
02:10A few days ago, I was in the army.
02:13I hope this letter finds you well.
02:15A few days ago, I followed the army northward...
02:18Reclaiming lost territories along the way.
02:21Until recently, we finally recaptured the strategic towns of Mozhou and Yuzhou.
02:27The rebel leader Shi Chaoyi admitted his guilt and hanged himself.
02:32We also took in all his remaining forces.
02:35I will return home soon.
02:44Sir, has something happened to my son?
02:47We captured Mozhou and Yuzhou.
02:49We captured Mozhou and Yuzhou.
02:52Shi Chaoyi hanged himself!
02:54Shi Chaoyi hanged himself!
03:00What happened?
03:02The rebellion has ended.
03:04Both regions north and south of the Yellow River have been reclaimed.
03:14Granny Li, the war has finally ended.
03:17Your son is coming back soon.
03:20My son is coming home? Is that true?
03:23Yes, absolutely true.
03:25Good.
03:27My son is coming home. Good.
03:30Help Granny Li get back home. Be careful.
03:34Yes, Mother.
03:43My dear husband, what are you doing?
03:59The war has ended.
04:01We can now return to our hometown.
04:03No longer moving from place to place and staying away from home.
04:07Be careful.
04:13Look.
04:29Once we're all packed up,
04:31we'll head to Baxia, pass through Wuxia, reach Xiangyang,
04:36and finally, we'll go straight to Luoyang.
04:39Daddy, we're finally going back to Luoyang, aren't we?
04:42Yes, we're going home.
04:45That's great. We're going home.
05:06It is said the northern gate is recaptured of late.
05:09When the news reach my ears, my gown is wet with tears.
05:13Staring at my wife's face, of grief I find no trace.
05:17Rolling my verse books, my joy-like madness looks.
05:21Though I am white-haired, still I sing and drink my fill.
05:25With verdure springs aglow, tis time we homeward go.
05:29We shall sail all the way through three gorges in a day.
05:32Going down to Xiangyang, we'll come up to Luoyang.
05:39Ha, ha, ha!
