1:50:09
The government has always
been good to me.
1:50:14
Nor would I betray the laws
of heaven or my own conscience.
1:50:19
Cheng Dieyi was taken away
in hand cuffs by the Japanese.
1:50:25
They put a gun
to the back of his neck.
1:50:29
He couldn't help. .
1:50:33
Duan Xiaolou!
1:50:34
It's true. The Japanese
beat up my stage brother.
1:50:40
Exactly as Master Yuan
has just described.
1:50:43
Na Kun?
1:50:46
He-
1:50:49
The prosecutor claims Cheng
performed obscene material.
1:50:59
That is ridiculous!
1:51:08
Cheng performed highlights
1:51:11
from Peony Pavilion
that night.
1:51:15
Anyone with any common
sense knows that. . .
1:51:19
Peony Pavilion is the
quintessential Chinese opera.
1:51:22
How can that be obscene
to the prosecutor's eye?
1:51:31
How dare they insult our
tradition and culture like this!
1:51:35
Who's disparaging
Chinese tradition. . .
1:51:42
and disrespecting its culture?
1:51:51
We ask the accused,
Cheng Dieyi:
1:51:55
Have the witnesses
told the truth?
