" Chang'e "
" Episode 1 "
This is an ancient story.
I was very young during that time.
I met with a beautiful lady.
Her name was Chang'e.
The moment we've been together was very short,...
but we were apart for a long time.
We met 4000 years ago.
Chang'e!
You are my wife forever!
I'll wait for your return!
" 4000 years ago "
It's about time to go to the court.
Why Emperor Yao hasn't show up?
The troops of General Wu Gang has arrived at the gate.
It's inappropriate if the emperor is not around.
Minister of Agriculture, do you know where is Emperor Yao?
I'm only responsible for agriculture.
How could I possibly know the emperor's whereabouts?
Maybe...
Work at sunrise.
Rest at sunset.
Dig the wells for water.
Till the farm for food.
The power of Emperor have nothing to do with us.
The great harvest this year...
must be done by our own.
The power of Emperor have nothing to do with us.
You useless thing!
What did you sing?
Lord Gaoyao, what are you doing?
Didn't you hear what he was singing about?
'The power of Emperor have nothing to do with us.'
It means he has nothing to do with Emperor Yao.
You're humiliating our noble emperor.
I started farming on this land ever since I was born.
I worked by myself to support my life.
There's really nothing to do with the emperor.
Nonsense!
If not because of our noble Emperor Yao,...
it's impossible for you to live a comfortable life.
You're rude to the emperor.
- I must kill you. - Stop it.
You old man!
Emperor Yao.
Greeting to Emperor Yao.
Emperor Yao.
General Wu Gang has returned with victory.
He is at the capital's gate.
We would like to ask Emperor Yao to go back and meet him.
Gaoyao.
Why did you get so angry in early morning?
Emperor Yao.
Look at those ignorant people.
They are slandering against you.
Shouldn't we teach them a lesson?
Please have mercy on us, Emperor Yao.
Get up. Get up.
I like this song very much. What's the name of the song?
- I don't dare to sing it anymore. - No. Get up.
I'm telling the truth.
What's the name of the song?
The Song of Soil-tilling.
What is it? The Song of Soil-tilling?
The muscles are so firm!
Look at the skin colour.
And this scar.
The mustache makes him so manly.
It hurts.
General, it's me. I'm Gui.
Gui, I think you're becoming more like a ghost.
Get up.
It's painful.
You're so bad. Cut it out.
Emperor Yao is coming back. Get yourself ready, General.
Got it.
Emperor Yao.
Emperor Yao, let me wash your feet.
It's okay. I'll do it myself.
Understood.
The General has arrived.
Wu Gang greets Emperor Yao.
Get up, Wu Gang.
You're indeed a victorious general!
This is your 99th victory, right?
This is all due to the prosperity of Emperor Yao that has protect us.
Don't be humble.
There's some gift from me to Emperor Yao.
I conquered Jiu Miao during this trip without killing anyone.
We fulfilled Emperor Yao's wish of making peace without killing.
This is the flag of peace granted by Jiu Miao.
Impressive.
Jiu Miao and Zhong Yuan had been grudged for so long.
This time they agreed to come to peace.
This is the best gift ever.
Excellent.
There is one more gift.
I brought two ambassadors back from Jiu Miao.
I hope they can share experiences from Jiu Miao and Zhong Yuan...
to help the people of these two lands.
Emperor Yao.
They brought along a kind of incredible seeds.
It can be planted and harvested within two seasons.
The seeds can be sowed and harvested twice a year.
Really?
Wu Gang definitely knows me well.
Bring it up now.
Come here.
Seize him.
I don't dare anymore.
- Please have mercy. - Cangjiu! Get up!
We will die for Jiu Miao. A honourable death.
- Kneel down now! - Please spare me.
- Emperor Yao, are you alright? - Wu Gang.
Are you alright?
It's nothing, just a minor injury.
This man tried to kill Emperor Yao. Then, he hurt General.
He's an evil criminal.
He must be sentenced to death at once.
Emperor Yao.
I have a bold request. Please spare their lives.
Why is it?
I observed both of them for these few days.
I realised they are not evil.
I think they just don't know about Zhong Yuan.
They don't know our purpose of making peace.
That's why they made mistake out of fear.
The assassins wasn't hurt at all.
But I was sad as General was hurt for protecting me.
It is my honour.
But I believe both of them will become the peace ambassadors of both lands.
I request to leave both of them with me.
Emperor Yao, think wisely.
- Granted. - Thank you, Emperor Yao.
To all soldiers, thanks for the hard work.
There will be a banquet tonight to reward all the soldiers!
Wu Gang.
Every time you come back with victory,...
I will scratch my heads on how to reward you.
I only have one desire.
Say it.
I'm requesting a fight in order to make peace with the Hei Jiuli tribe.
Hei Jiuli tribe?
Hei Jiuli travels everywhere.
They are good at fight and move mysteriously.
I request to fight.
Wu Gang, you fought for Zhong Yuan for ten years.
You won various victories and were injured many times.
I can't let you fight this time.
Emperor Yao.
Wu Gang. It's time for you to get married.
So, I had thought about it. I shall grant you with a marriage.
Grant a marriage! Grant a marriage!
- Emperor Yao. - I decided for you on this matter.
Emperor Yao, I have a fiancée.
You have a fiancée?
I made this engagement ten years ago.
Later, I entered the army and went for war.
I never thought it would be ten years.
You let a lady waited you for ten years.
Aren't you afraid she will marry someone else?
She won't.
She will wait for me.
Little rabbit.
Little white rabbit.
Let me ask you.
Do you know this man?
Do you know me?
Chang'e.
Get up now.
Get up!
Why are you so heavy?
Chang'e! Chang'e! We're running out of time.
- What happened? - The wedding troupe is coming.
You must go now!
We can't delay this matter.
Don't leave me.
Hurry up, Chang'e.
Don't touch. Almost finish.
Are you done?
Aren't you the daughter of tailor?
- Why are you so slow? - Your clothes is too big.
Hurry up. We're running out of time.
Hurry up.
- Bite it off. - Okay.
I never thought it would be this happy to be a bride.
Chang'e, you're so beautiful.
Here they come.
Father, why the bride hasn't come out yet?
Father.
My daughter misses her home.
I can't bear to let her go too.
- There she is. - Here she is.
My wife.
Oh, my wife.
You covered your face with this red cloth.
This means our life will be merrier and better.
Great. Hurry up.
Enter the litter.
Be careful, my wife.
Okay. Let's go!
I heard the bride is only 16. She's so young.
Marry an old man. What a poor life.
I heard that this old man is very rich.
He has ten pigs, ten sheep...
ten chickens and ten cows.
- That's right. - Sounds good.
He is rich.
The bride can come out from the sedan.
Come out now.
Be careful.
Slow down.
- Be careful. - My wife.
Come here.
What happened?
I'm fine.
My wife, take off the cloth on your head.
I saw brides with flower and accessories.
But I never seen anyone covered with cloth.
It feels weird looking at it.
It's better for you to take it off.
Don't be shy.
Let me help you to take it off.
So beautiful.
Chang'e.
Why is it you?
- Why is it you? - Where is Manmei?
Where is Manmei?
That's right! It's me!
I'm here to cancel the marriage behalf of Manmei.
What kind of trouble are you making now?
Where is my Manmei? I want to talk with my wife.
She is not going to meet you.
Do you know how old is Manmei?
Of course I know. She's 16.
Old man, how old are you?
I'm 66 years old.
But I owned ten cows, 20 pigs, 30 sheep...
Wait a second.
Manmei want to marry to a human, not to a pig.
If you're dead, Manmei is going to live with pigs, is it?
You!
Alright. I don't want to argue with you.
Father, you have to help me out.
Manmei must marry me since you have took my bride price.
The ceremony can start now.
Father-in-law.
Are you calling me? Alright. I will help you.
Father. Father. Father.
You call him that way? You agreed with that calling?
I think you're more like his father.
You...
Chang'e. This is our family's matter. Mind your own business.
That's right. Mind your own business.
I'm not Chang'e if I leave this huge matter out.
Poor Manmei has a father like you.
You!
You sold your own daughter just for those tiny bride price.
If I was her, I'll not recognise you as my father.
- You! - How is it?
Old man, you're really awesome.
You feed so many poultry by your own.
Of course.
You see. Those poultry get along with you so well.
But what if Manmei came?
What if they got angry and ran away?
All your hard work will be vain.
I've got a good idea.
Why don't you just let Manmei to be your granddaughter?
You'll have a company and Manmei...
no need to worry about her food anymore.
You also think it is a good idea, right?
That would be great.
It's a deal.
Today will be a family-recognising ceremony!
Chang'e!
Give it to me.
This hat looks nice.
Chang'e.
Goodbye.
- Stay right there! - Give me back my chicken.
This shall be the gift.
If Manmei is not here, you have to return my money!
- I know, I know. - Don't panic.
He must return my money!
Stay right there, Chang'e.
What's going on? Why can't you see me?
Who knows you're hiding there? What are you doing?
Hiding.
You expect no one see you when you can't see anyone?
Come out. Everything is fine now.
- Really? - I cancelled the marriage for you.
Oh my god. You scared me out.
Later on, I'll find a good man for you.
Take it. A symbol of love from the old man.
Which old man?
Be careful, everyone.
This is the place where the wolves are.
Rest assured, Big brother. There are many of us.
That's right. We as the Marksman Tribe are not weak at all.
There's movement. Everyone, follow me.
Surround it.
Hurry up. Surround it.
Big brother, here comes another one.
Don't get panic. Don't simply make a move.
What are we going to do? Here comes another one.
Act accordingly. Don't spread out.
Okay.
Be careful.
It's fine now. Thank you, hero!
Thank you.
That naughty girl!
Father!
I have no mother since I was a kid.
You worked so hard to raise me up.
But now,...
you want to hit me to death with such thick wood!
Oh, mother! Look at him!
Do you know that Father wants to hit me to death?
You can't hit someone with this wood. It will be very painful!
Cry! Continue cry!
You think I'll be soft on you, isn't it?
I know, this wood is a bit thicker.
Wait here!
I'm telling you, this stick hurt as well.
I'll hit you! I must hit you hardly today!
Father! Don't hit me!
I'll also be dead if hit by this stick.
Father!
- Stop crying! - Don't be panic!
Don't be panic!
- You better explain everything to me! - Father, have a drink.
Don't be panic.
You are going to drive me to death one day!
You tell me!
You ruined other people's marriage again!
How many times is it?
But if I don't care, no one will care.
Can't you just shut up?
You're now so famous around Shouling Village!
Don't you feel guilty towards Manmei?
I did it for her sake!
You did it for her? You ruined her marriage.
Don't you afraid of retribution? Get strike by lighting?
I'm not afraid. I'm helping them.
You!
Is it because Wu Rengui didn't return and marry you...
so you don't allow others to get married?
No, I mean...
Even if he doesn't come back.
Even if he doesn't marry me,...
I'll not going to let Manmei to have such marriage!
What kind of matchmaking had you done?
Do you know how old is Manmei?
You want her to live the rest of her life with pigs?
Don't you afraid getting strike by lightning?
Don't you afraid of retribution?
My daughter, you can tell me the truth.
Do you really want to get married?
You feel upset when looking at others getting married?
You're already 26.
Young ladies in our village were married by 15 or 16.
Let's not talk about others. We also feel bad about it.
We feel that we can't compare with others.
Can't compare with other?
Wu Rengui will come and marry me.
It's all that Wu Rengui's fault!
You two had engaged!
He engaged but not married.
Ten years passed, he's still not here to marry you.
He had hold you up!
What kind of person he is?
Listen to me. Don't wait for him anymore.
I'll find a good man for you.
Father, are you trying to get rid of me now?
Nonsense.
Then, I'll wait for Wu Rengui.
Unless he's dead.
If not, I'll not marry to anyone else.
We were under attack in the jungle.
We might not be able to get back if Hou Yi wasn't there!
Splendid.
No wonder you're the God of Archery.
Let's have a drink with our hero!
Okay!
Hou Yi's shooting skill is excellent.
We never thought it would be a young man.
Let's have a drink!
Let's drink!
There're always rumour of your excellent shooting.
But we don't really know you.
Everyone called you the God of Archery.
I'm not God of Archery.
I'm just the descendant of Yi clan.
Come. Let's drink.
Toast!
The adults never brought me along when they went for hunting.
One day, they had no choice but brought me along.
I never thought the wolves would be that fierce.
After a fierce fight, I was the only one left.
Hop on!
I was terrified.
Although I was rescued by the hunters,...
I was still afraid of people and animals.
I'm scared of anything that would move.
When I realised I can still shoot,...
only then I started to get better.
Shoot.
Bend your left leg. Step your right leg higher.
Your left hand must not tremble.
That's right.
Stabilise this position.
Focus to the front.
Move your right hand close to your face.
When I was 20,...
I really want to go out and try out my skill.
I want to travel around the world.
So I left my master.
All these years, I stayed everywhere.
I learned shooting skills around the world...
and mastered the skill.
- You're so impressive. - Yes.
Do you know who I wish to fight with?
Tell us.
General Wu Gang.
Do you know General Wu Gang?
Of course we know.
He is the real hero.
You're our big hero!
The hero of our Marksman Tribe!
Let us toast for our hero!
Toast!
Move higher!
Work faster!
The 1000th birthday of our ancestor, Chiyou, is coming soon.
We're going to have a grand worship for him!
We'll pray for our ancestor's blessings to...
defeat the army of Yao and rebuild Hei Jiuli tribe.
Lord! Hou Yi and the rest are almost drunk.
- Continue spying. - Alright!
Hou Yi.
It's time for me to meet you.
It's Hei Jiuli.
Let's go.
Go after them!
Hurry up. Look around there.
Move.
General, we've brought them here.
- You may leave now. - Understood.
You have two choices.
One, return to Jiu Miao.
Two, stay and work for me.
I'll go home.
Okay, we'll stay.
I, Gonggong and my brother, Cangjiu...
thanks General for sparing our life.
We will work for General.
Work for General.
Good. Get up now.
Thank you, General.
I admire loyal people the most.
You gave your life up to assassinate Emperor Yao.
Although we have different stands,...
I can see your loyalty.
Follow me.
I hope one day, you will be loyal to Emperor Yao.
Yes, General.
General.
The clothes are here.
Give it to them.
We'll set out to Hei Shan tomorrow early in the morning to marry Chang'e.
Bring 500 people of the army.
Both of them will follow us.
Understood.
You may go and prepare yourselves first.
Then, attend the banquet.
I'll bid my farewell to Miss Bai.
Understood.
Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai, I'm back.
How do you do recently?
Are you being nice?
Yes, I won again.
I even brought fresh carrots back this time.
These are the carrots from Jiu Miao.
You never tasted it before.
Is it nice?
You're still so capable in eating.
Come here.
I tell you something.
Tomorrow morning, I'll set out to Hei Shan...
to marry my fiancée.
She is the Chang'e, who I told you before.
Why did you bite me?
You never bite.
Why is it?
I tell you.
When the emperor suddenly want to arrange marriage for me today,...
I was a bit embarrassing.
But I felt calm.
I actually miss you.
Are you happy?
When I come back again,...
there will be one more people who can take care of you.
Xiao Bai, why is it?
Why are you keep biting me today?
Are you unhappy of me getting married?
Rest assured, when you meet with Chang'e,...
you will also like her.
Are you ignoring me?
Alright then.
I'll leave since you're ignoring me.
I'll go and attend the banquet.
Go and have your carrots.
Next time when I come back with Chang'e,...
you'll definitely like her as well.
I'm going to the banquet now.
Wu Gang, I'm not willing to let you get married.
I hate Chang'e.
Don't you understand my feeling?
How's the clothes?
Very good.
Yesterday night, both of us made a funny, big mistake!
Miss Bai is actually a rabbit.
I never thought about it.
Even with a rabbit, General can be so loyal and caring.
Miss Bai is an old friend of our General.
Three years ago, when General was strolling in the jungle,...
he accidentally scared the rabbit.
The rabbit ran around, hit a tree and fainted.
Our General is kind-hearted.
So, he brought the rabbit back.
He raised the rabbit until now.
Sometimes, General will talk to the Miss Bai rather than us.
I actually hope Miss Bai really is a lady.
Then, General won't be lonely.
It's great now.
General is going to marry Miss Chang'e.
He won't talk alone with rabbit anymore.
Get moving. We're going to Hei Shan.
Yes, General!
This might be the rabbit spirit, which knows spells.
- Knows spells? - Let's go.
Midnight 11pm.
Who is it?
1000 years!
I finally have a chance to revenge for my husband.
Let our people can live openly in the world.
What do you mean?
1000 years ago, your ancestor, Emperor Huang...
used scheme to defeat my husband...
and became the owner of the land.
But now, I'm back.
I want to bring your head...
to my husband's tomb as an offering.
I won't allow you to hurt Emperor Yao.
Move aside, Emperor Yao.
You're just a tortoise.
You're power is too weak.
That kind of wall can't block me away.
It had been 1000 years!
1000 years had passed, you still can't let the vengeance go?
Deity Taibai Jinxing!
You're not going to stop!
You practiced 1000 years in the heaven.
You still couldn't get rid of your wrath.
You even stole my Lunar Soul Pearl when you came back to mortal.
Give it back to me now!
I came to capture you back to the heaven.
I never thought of going back since I'm here.
You're running away?
Come back. Stop right there.
Bad Wu Gang. Evil Wu Gang. Stupid Wu Gang.
Neglect me when he has wife.
It's been so late, he didn't even come out to look for me.
Bad Wu Gang. Evil Wu Gang. Stupid Wu Gang.
What is it?
I started this mountain, I grown the trees.
If you want to pass, then leave the carrots.
How do you know I have carrots?
Stop this nonsense. Give me the carrots!
Wu Gang brought these carrots from Jiu Miao specially to me.
Stop this nonsense. Give me half of it.
This is the rule.
Enjoy your meal. I'm leaving.
Stay right there. Leave the two carrots.
These are from Wu Gang...
Who cares about Wu Gang.
Leave the carrots.
Fox!
Oh Moon, please come out.
If you don't light up the road, I can't go back.
Oh, Moon. Where should I go?
Wu Gang, please come and save me.
I will never bad-mouthed about you anymore.
I promise if I say it again, I'll get strike by lightning.
Oh my god! Don't strike me!
I didn't say anything bad about Wu Gang.
Stay right there! Leave the carrots!
Help me!
Stay right there!
