I were born under the Star of Death.
I'm destined to be alone forever.
Strange that it is snowing in the south
It's like in the opera, flying frost in June
Hurry, your father is looking for you
We Chinese know how to respect our teachers
Master Pride is most skilled and most virtuous
We are fortunate that he may accept you as his disciple
Yes, sir
Give it to him
It's cold. Put on your coat
Thank you, mother
This Red Sword is my family's heirloom
I am handing it over to you now. Take it
And do well in your training with Master
Where do you think you're going?
I'll show you
Stop, I surrender
I looked out of the window this morning.
Everything was white
I've never seen that before. So beautiful
My mother says she thinks it is strange
Snow in June is not a good omen
I feel very strange about this, too
Master!
Sheng, be careful with my sword!
It's a family heirloom
Hero
Brother Shadow
Don't call me Brother till Master accepts you
What does he mean?
Master
Good, Hero. You did well
I am accepting you as a close disciple
When we return from Japan
I will teach you 'China Secret'
Thank you, Master
I...
Sheng, it takes talent to train in martial arts
You are not talented but if you work hard
You will succeed after more practice
Thank you Master. Thank you
Wang!
Father
''You deserve it.''
Paying for his own words
Mother
Your father wrote in the newspaper...
Robber
About the social ills caused by foreigners selling opium
They killed him for that
The murderer is with the Trading Company.
Mother!
Mother. Mother
Mother.
Mr. Peter, Do you know
What we call these Flower Ladies?
Hens. Cluck, cluck
Wrong. They're Salt Water Girls
Why? Because that means they are beautiful
Now you know why I am so successful in running this place
It's because I use Chinese to control Chinese
You're a bunch of lap-dogs
That's all for now. I have to take a leak
Who's that? Get out of here!
Go to hell
What's going on? Who are you?
Hero
Are you all right?
I just killed someone
You'll be all right
I don't want to lose you
I will always be with you
Jade
Close your eyes, make a wish
What happened?
I received your wish
- My wish... - Don't say it
or it won't come true
One at a time
Your name?
Hero Hua
Your thumb-print here
Hurry to the boat. We're leaving soon
Time to go
Hero
After 20 days at sea
We're finally in America
I think this must be the Statue of Liberty
How do you know?
Didn't you see me reading every day?
I've read up everything about America
You've been here, but l haven't, Uncle
Your mother thought it was the Chinese Goddess of Mercy
Will I find Father?
We'll see.
Let's get a ride to the China House in Chinatown
Careful
This is called a car. Don't be such a country bumpkin
Uncle, I didn't know Caucasians can Lion Dance
None of those people are Caucasians
Those Lion Dancers are all Chinese
The China House is up ahead
Your mother and I stayed there when we came
How come I don't remember?
You weren't born yet, silly
But it's certainly changed a lot over the years
Happy New Year to you gentlemen
Will you be requiring a meal, or a room?
We're planning to stay, but we need your help
We are all brothers in a foreign land
We're all Chinese. Feel free to ask for anything
If you are in trouble
We at the China House will do our best to help
Thank you
I wonder if...
The boss here is still the man with short hair?
Not any more. There is a new boss now
He is leading the Lion Dance outside
Good Men of China, United in Heart,
over All Four Seas.
Great Heroes of Time, One in Courage, in All Eight Lands
Move it! Get out of my way!
Good, beat him.
What's the matter?
- What's the matter? - Wait!
Today's Chinese New Year. I don't want to ruin it for you people
Now where's the frigging monk?
What did you say?
I am the boss of the China House. How can I help you?
You're pretty good. I'd like to take you one on one someday
Any time
Now I know he's in there. This is the man l'm looking for!
This is a boarding house and restaurant
You want a monk, perhaps you should go to a temple
You Chinese are always covering each other's ass
Now I know he's hiding inside
I'm going to get him right now
We Chinese are people of courtesy and principle
If you wish to enter, fight me first
If you win, please go ahead
Like you Chinese say, ''Your word's your honour''
Wild horses can't take back a gentleman's words
Great fight!
Everyone, today is Chinese New Year
Don't let the Caucasians spoil our mood
I wish everyone good fortune. Hand out the red pockets
Thank you, Boss
Young man, are you new here?
Yes. I just arrived today
Your eyesight is even greater than your martial arts
Not many Chinese here. We must all unite
Who did you come with?
My uncle, Uncle Sheng
Sword, this is your father's old friend, Monk Luohan
You know Luohan?
Yes sir
I wonder if you have ever heard of a man...
- Go on. - Hero Hua
Hero Hua?
l am Sword Hua. Hero Hua is my father
I've never met him, but I've heard so much about him
And Luohan?
Come with me
You are Hero's son?
Uncle Luohan
Sword. You look like him. You have his eyes
Do you know where my father is?
I've been looking for him for over ten years
''1914 A.D.''
I left China, like you father, 16 years ago
Almost one hundred people were packed into the tiny ship
With no freedom at all
Is there any water? We're dying of thirst. Give us some water
Anybody out there?
What's the yelling about?
Let us out for a walk. We are too hot
It's so damn hot, too hot
Drink. Be quiet
The foreman did not treat us as humans
They poured our food and water from above
We had no choice but to pick it up from the floor
You father and I ate very little
I was used to hunger
But after everyone slept, you father liked
To pick up grains of rice from the floor
He was amazing
He could gather more than half a bowl in this way
And sometimes even protein
You haven't eaten in days
I don't kill
It's only white rice
I ate the cockroaches
I remember we were in the ship for 37 days
Because with every sunrise and sunset
I made a mark on a board
When we landed we were examined and de-loused
l felt we were less than pigs or dogs
After the physical examination and registration
Our group was herded onto a truck
We didn't know where we would be taken
I just knew it could be a journey with no return
Finally we were taken to a mine called Steel Bull Canyon
Get to work
Tell him do it quickly
Quick, hurry
Life was harsh as a laborer
The owner didn't care whether we lived or died
Some people fainted from exhaustion
But they didn't take them to a doctor
They took them to a deserted area and left them for dead
So we dared not complain when we were ill
My friendship with your father
Was built up from that time
Payday! Come quickly, it's payday!
- Name? - Luohan
Your thumb-print here
Thank you
Hero Hua
Hero, my husband, you have been gone for over 2 months
I miss you very much
That morning, Sheng and I rushed to the pier
But you had already left
I cried all night, I was so afraid
I thought I'd never see you again
I must tell you something. I am pregnant
Sheng and I are coming to America to look for you
You must wait for me
Your ever-loving wife, Jade
I believe our wish will come true
A letter from home?
My wife is pregnant
Congratulations
Thank you
This is ridiculous
You even took off two cents for the egg from Mr. Charlie
You said it was a treat. I'm not giving you my thumb-print
Then I can sue you for breach of contract
You're taking advantage of us. We'll fight you
You're inhuman. We're going on strike tomorrow
We're protesting
This is what happens if you don't obey
We must bury the body or it will rot
Silent protests cannot last long
The workers had an even harder time after that incident
You've read that letter so many times. Aren't you bored?
You're a monk. What do you know about love?
And you do?
Listen to the wolves outside
The two men were not killed by a ghost
But by a human seeking revenge
From now on, I will hire Caucasian foremen
In addition, you will now also be leg-ironed in groups of 6
I know who killed them
It's Hero Hua. Arrest him
Your father was suspected of the murders of the foremen
Life became even more miserable for him
Even though I had not known your father for long
We had suffered together as laborers in America
Also, I admired his sense of righteousness
It made me proud to have such a friend
So I decided to risk my life to free him
But that night, someone else
Wanted to free him and take him away
Hero, how are you? Have some water
Luohan, get out of here
Just a little longer
What are you doing?
Hero, Master told me to rescue you
You go ahead
All right. Everybody up!
Everyone, get up!
What's going on?
I have not seen your father since that night
I later found out Shadow rescued him
Eldest disciple of Pride
Luohan told me about your father's days as a laborer
But I had never heard your father mention it
Why didn't Father go back to China...
to you and Mother?
Your mother and I came to America to look for him
Your mother was already four months pregnant
Welcome to America
- Are you Chinese? - Yes.
Where do you want to go?
We're looking for a place to stay. Somewhere cheap and good?
No problem
Take your time
Be careful
Thank you
Careful
Look at all the people with red hair and green eyes
I've seen them in China. Don't worry
I think America is very big, and the buildings are tall
When I arrived l saw that huge Goddess of Mercy
What Goddess of Mercy?
The one with the firebrand, as big as a hill
That's the Statue of Liberty, Madam
Shut up and pull your rickshaw
I made a wish to the Goddess of Mercy
I know I can find Hero on this trip
This is the China House. You can eat and take rooms here
You don't have to speak English.
It is Chinese-owned.
This way, please
Careful
Your mother and I travelled for 40 days to come to
America to look for your father
All I had on me was the address of the mine
Fortunately, there weren't many Chinese around
So I used the simplest method of asking everyone
Steel Bull Canyon is far from here.
2 days by train, or more.
Are there many Chinese laborers there?
Yes, almost all of them
But they lead a very hard life, almost inhuman
- Do you have a relative there? - My husband.
It has been four months
Can you please help me ask around
For a man named Hero Hua
Hero Hua
You sound so excited, you must know him
Hero Hua is your hubby?
What is a ''hubby''?
Husband, the man you're married to
It looks like you came in vain
I don't understand
Wait. Let me show you something
Hero!
Not so loud. Caucasians here understand Chinese
What happened to Hero?
He killed someone in the mine
The Caucasians are after him, with a reward of $1000
How is he now?
We Chinese help each other
So I didn't put up this poster
Take it easy
Take us to the Association
Are you looking for work?
Just go where you're told
It's hard to find work these days
Talk again, and I'll beat you up
We're looking for someone
This way, please
Careful
Excuse me, sir
Yes?
Have you seen this man?
No
I went out looking with your mother every day
No matter the weather or time
We had neither family nor friends here
Finding your father...
Was our only hope
It's raining outside. Where are you going?
I heard there is a town to the north
With many Chinese laborers. I want to go there
You're pregnant. You should rest
Make way
Watch where you're going!
Please take me to Yorktown in the north
Why aren't you moving? Do you want a push?
Hero! lt's Hero!
Hero
I've missed you so much
I've searched all over for you
- Hero. - Jade.
Sheng
After your father received your mother's letter
He remained in America, pulling rickshaws
He waited by the pier every day for newcomers
Hoping one day to pick up your mother
But it seemed ill fated
We never saw each other until that day
Strange, there are two heartbeats
One is mine and the other is the baby's, silly
It seems to be kicking me, here
Let's go out for a walk
Sure
It's kicking me again
Tired? Let's rest here
Is our child tired? Let me listen
Do you remember the night before you left,
I made a wish?
It really did come true
I suspect you have...
What is it, doctor?
Twins. Congratulations. Let me give you a tonic
All right, just hold still, please. It'll take a minute
Good. Thank you. Good!
Sheng, come over here
Together
No, not for me
One, two, three
Sword, did you know? The first time I had my picture taken
was at this salon
I refused to be photographed
I feared when the camera flashed my soul would leave my body
But your parents insisted that I join them
Do you still have the photograph?
Silly boy, it's been so long
The salon has closed down
I feel strange, like an evil spirit is following me
I've felt it since the cemetery
What shall we do, Uncle Sheng?
Exorcize it, of course
My thoughts exactly
Don't
Who are you?
You've followed us around for days
Uncle Sheng. Brother Sword
Brother? How are we related?
I think you are the right people. I am Kate
Father wants me to bring you to him
Who is your father?
His name is Shadow
Brother Shadow
Sheng
Greet Uncle Shadow, your father's martial arts brother
He saw you when you were born
Uncle Shadow
See? I told you we are related, Brother Sword
Kate, behave
Sword, let me take a good look at you
Hero's son has great martial arts potential
Brother Shadow, why are you here?
The reunion of Hero and Jade brought them
The happiest time of their lives
But this happiness...
Merry Christmas
Lovely!
Your Christmas gift
Thank you
Master had ordered me to rescue Hero from the mine
He stayed in Chinatown, waiting for his wife
That Christmas, I found him in the China House
Master was being challenged by his martial arts brother
I believed Hero could help Master
I want 3 rooms. Two must be adjoining
The third must be big enough for 3 people, and farther away
- I'll try - Don't just try. You must do it.
You 3 share a room. Mu and I will take one each
Why do you each have a room but we have to share?
I know, Jin wants to be close to Mu in private
Do as I have said. No comments or questions from you
Here, sir
Two in the East Wing, one in the West Wing. Far enough?
Is it all right?
Those are Japanese ninjas
What do they have to do with me?
They are here for news of Master
When you find this man, we'll meet in her room
Pride actually has two disciples
One is Shadow, the other is Hero Hua
Shadow is difficult to locate
I had Hero Hua in my hands at one time
But he killed someone at the mine and is now a fugitive
Steel Bull Canyon has a price on his head
But I already know where he is
So why don't you tell them?
They're only offering $1000
But if I tell you, Jin, this information
I think my reward will be higher than that
My master orders me to find Pride and his disciples
Bigot, get to the point, name your price
It is better doing business with the Japanese
Those Caucasians are so stupid
lf l were Hero, l would either return to China
Or hide here in Chinatown
Hero has been here at the China House for over a month
Shadow, don't move
You just get the reward money ready
I'll give you instructions on your next step
Goodbye
Bye
Sayonara
Use Chinese to control the Chinese. With a traitor like
Bigot, I will be able to find Hero Hua
Fire, Water, Earth, return to your room
- Yes. - I have to talk to Mu.
Mu, Master has promised me
When we finish this business, we can get married
Who agreed to marry you?
ln all these years, don't you know how I feel about you?
Then you should also know how I feel about you
lf that is all, please go
I may not lose to you in a fight
The next day we decided to follow these people
But they had all disappeared
I'm sorry
Is the wound critical?
You came here on time, there is no internal damage
She'll be all right. Don't worry
Doctor, please take care of her
Ever since Hero injured Mu
A very strange feeling developed
Look, it's so romantic, like you are to me
You showed mercy as soon as you found out I was a girl
It would have been more romantic to carry you to the doctor
Our fight with the ninjas was just the beginning
But even Hero did not expect
That sparing Mu would bring him so much trouble
Sword, do you know why l never married?
You can't hide from your destiny
We failed because we underestimated their abilities
Especially Hero
I am fortunate to still be alive
I wish to return to Japan
Mu
This is yours
Thank you
Boss, you're closing the shop?
Yes, it's getting late.
I came to see you
How do you know l'm staying here?
How are your injuries?
I am much better
Where is your wife?
She's sleeping
Why are doing this to me?
I heard you playing your flute. Are you homesick?
You are not hero. You're in disguise
I did this out of desperation
You know who much I love you
Why can't you accept me?
I have to take you today, no matter what
What are you doing?
One more step and I'll kill myself
Why him? Why Hero Hua?
He's only a Chinese, and a disciple of Pride
Why did you choose him?
You are nothing like him
We'll return to Japan tomorrow. We are not as shameless as you
After Hero left the mine, he was still
concerned with the situation at Steel Bull Canyon
We decided to seek out Bigot
Honestly, we were not worried about
The ninjas looking for Master Pride
We just want information on Steel Bull Canyon
We are all Chinese, we must help one another
Please let me know if I can do anything
You eat some
Is it good?
What is it?
Very painful
The baby is coming
Quick, call the midwife
I'll go
I'll help you up. Be careful
Mrs. Hua, relax. Don't worry
Where's Hero?
Hero? I'll go get him
You men, out, out
Mrs. Hua, relax
- Hero, you're just in time. - What's it?
Jade is giving birth.
Congratulations
Push. Push hard
Hero, you can't go in yet. Wait here
The baby's here, the baby's here
Is it a boy or a girl?
A boy would be better, don't you agree?
Hero, you're a father again
Twins. How wonderful
It's all right. Don't worry
- Are you all right. Can I help? - No.
Don't worry
Oh, no! There's fire!
At west wing
Congratulations, Mrs. Hua. You have twins
Jade
A boy and a girl.
Fire! Everyone get up. Get out now
Don't take your things. Get out now!
There's a fire! We must leave immediately
Mr. Hua, this is your daughter
Mrs. Hua has lost a lot of blood
Jade, don't worry, you'll be fine
The fire is getting nearer
Midwife, take the child and run
Hero, carry your wife. Hurry
Sheng
Hurry up.
- Jade. - Hero.
Get out
Give her to me
- What are you doing? - Don't come near me.
- What do you want? - And you.
Any closer and I'll kill her
Don't! She is my daughter. Give her back
Put down the child
Rescue our daughter, Hero
With this fire,
I want Hero and the China House gone forever!
I knew it was you
Jade! Jade!
Hero, our daughter...
Don't worry. I'll rescue her
Remember, we'll spend next Christmas with our children
Hero!
Trust me
We are all right.
The baby is fine
It's Hero! He's coming out
What is it, Hero?
Jade!
I've promised to rescue our daughter
This old man is a fortune teller
His name is Ming
What he told Hero
Influenced Hero for the rest of his life
The Star of Death rules your life
Your birth chart is different from others
When you were born, death was in the air
Until you were 18, life was ordinary
After 18, if your parents still lived
They soon died of unnatural causes, right?
You are destined to be alone and childless
Your friends and family will come to a bad end
Because you were born under the Star of Death
Even though my wife has died,
She gave birth to twins.
When can we reunite?
- You should not. - Why not?
You and your daughter have crossed signs
You can never survive together
My fate is in my hands, I will find a way
Unless you die first
''Jade rests in peace here''
Sheng, bring Sword back to our homeland
And you?
I have to follow up something with Shadow
Hero, you really believe you are the Star of Death?
Hero went to Japan with me
In time to attend our Master's duel
The brother, Invincible, is a martial arts fanatic
Attaining the secrets of the ultimate martial arts - the China Secret
was the reason why the two brothers were dueling
At the time, we did not know the fire at the China House
Was started by Jin
Otherwise Hero would have certainly taken revenge
China Secret is the essence of our school of swordsmanship
Master said it would be taught to all of us
Even though you are a senior disciple,
You're not the only student.
I hope you will hand the China Secret over
Invincible, I returned to Japan
To be appointed as the Master of our society
And to be handed the China Secret
Our rules state that,
the China Secret must be kept by the master of the society
So your request is denied
I don't admit you as the appointed Master.
You're not even Japanese
Master
Invincible, your swordplay is only mediocre
Do you know why you were defeated?
It is because you have distractions in your heart
Go home, be a good husband and father
You're not a true martial arts warrior
Katanaka Fuji, we will fight again
There's no need. It's obvious who won today
Go and train
I may not fight with you, but my disciples will
Master
Hero, your destiny has arrived
I'm going to hand you the China Secret
Invincible is too fanatical about attaining supreme power
I refuse to hand him the China Secret
Yes, Master
Master
Actually, our Master lost
Internal injuries killed him within a month
Hero truly believes he is the Star of Death
He feels Master died because of him
So he left without a word
Taking the China Secret with him
I have not heard from him since
Then I returned to America
Found someone who would marry me
And had a daughter
I could not imagine meeting Hero's son again
Everyone, all of us at the China House
Will try our best to find Hero
How do you feel after hearing all these stories?
I want even more to be reunited with my Father
Tomorrow is Lantern Festival
This is very significant for Chinese living abroad
I think of the hardships of our countrymen
The laborers at Steel Bull Canyon
Luohan escaped there
He knows a lot about Steel Bull Canyon
I want to unite the forces at the China House
And sneak into the Canyon tomorrow
To rescue them
Have you delivered the buns?
Yes
What is this monkey people stuff?
Chinese opera
Chinese women, kung fu
Kung fu? Looks like shit to me!
''Look out for a sign during opera.''
Sword, that man looks familiar
I remember. lt's Bigot, the man who kidnapped your sister!
Keep going
lnto the trucks
Hurry, into the trucks
Where is my little sister?
What sister? I don't understand
Sword, he is the traitor who betrayed all the Chinese!
You're still using swords now?
The Caucasians and I killed your grandparents
I'm destined to kill 3 generations of Huas
Hero
Where is my daughter?
Hero Hua, how have you been?
I was just playing
I will soon take over this place
If you work with me, not only will you have a girl
You can have a dozen girls!
Luohan
Hero, after all these years, we meet here again
Don't talk
Hero
Luohan
Father
Uncle Sheng has spoken a great deal of you
Upon my arrival Luohan, Shadow
And everyone else spoke so highly of you
I already had a powerful image of you
But upon meeting you, you're totally the opposite
You're disappointed
What have I done wrong?
I lost you and Mother at birth
I am so envious when I see other children
They have parents to love them
I have dreamt of you and mother many times
I really wanted to be reunited with you both
Sword
Why won't you accept me?
Sorry, I was born under the Star of Death
Everyone around me will come to a bad end
I don't believe in that, and neither should you
When you dream, how does mother look?
She's loving. She's beautiful
Does she look like the picture?
I took this photograph with your mother before you were born
You keep it
You've grown up
Father, Father!
Father...
After so long, why are you still following me?
I can never fulfill your wish
I know you will never forget your wife
But if you know how painful it is to love someone
You should know how I feel for the past 16 years
I came to inform you
My Master and his disciples have come to America
To fight with you
Hero Hua!
Invincible, this is Chinatown. Behave!
Tell the coward Hero to show his face
Hero Hua left last month.
He will not return.
The China House will not have peace until he returns
Let's beat him.
The Limitless Ocean!
Hero Hua, you're finally here
Brother Hua
l don't want to hurt innocent people. Let's go
Fine
Father
Red Sword
Old friend, it's been a long time
Father
Today's battle is not only for the name of Master Pride
It's about the honour of all Chinese people
Father, you must win
Must a victor emerge in today's battle?
Yes. I've waited this duel for a long time
Invincible, I have refused to see my son
So I could practice China Secret that Master taught me
Thus, I will not lose to you
For this duel, I blinded myself
I killed my wife and children
Now I have no more distractions
And because of that, you think you will win
Have you ever thought about why you want victory?
Hero Hua, you are destined to lose to me
Old pal
China Secret
Invincible, you despise love, therefore you have lost
- Goodbye. - Take care of yourselves.
Thank you
- Take care of yourselves. - Goodbye.
Goodbye.
