Where is my daddy? ,

Don't shout.

There he is.
Go across the bridge.

Hurry up.

- Daddy.
- Get up. Get up. Hurry up.

- Are you OK?
- What are you carrying on your back? ,

Director,

these are machine parts
for printing bills.

The leaders said they're important.

No matter how important they are,
throw them away.

All of them.

Throw all of them away?

Don't do that.
Hey.

- Daddy.
- Boilers, bowls, pots and pans.

You might as well cary the temple.

Hey, Director.

Director, please give me a note.

A note?

These things were thrown away.
If the leaders blame me, what do I say?

Tell them they were thrown away
by me, Lao Mao.

Lao Mao?

- Chairman Mao.

Daddy, where shall we go?

Follow them.

Daddy. Daddy.

Brother Changzi,
brother Changzi.

Go!

Hurry!

Hurry!

We're coming.

Dechang, hurry up!

This way.

- Prepare the surgical instruments.
- Sister.

Little comrade, you will have to bear
the pain for a while.

How pointless this fighting is!

Behind us, there were countless
sacrificed brothers.

In front of us,
there are endless mountains.

Where shall we go!
Huh?

Where shall we go?

Will the Red Army's energy
come to an end?

Changzi, can you be quieter?

I want to be louder.
Let that foreign officer hear.

Let brothers' bodies ward off
the enemy's bullets and bombs.

That is not fighting.

That is warding off the bullets.

Our brothers of the 1st and 3rd Corps
are fighting hard

to protect our Central Army
as they cross the river.

But what about us?

We are creeping slowly like snails.

This will cause many casualties.

Little comrade,

this infected wound must be cut out
so that your arm will heal quickly.

We have no anaesthetic.
Can you bear the pain for a while?

Doctor, can you tell me

whether my arm will heal?

No problem.
It will leave a scar.

Go on.

Brother Changzi,

if you cannot bear the pain,
please bite my wrist,

then you will feel a little better.

Yazi, Yazi, Yazi.

Yazi, Yazi.

Don't worry.

The wounded.

Please get out of the way.

Doctor,
hurry up.

This man is badly hurt.
He is dying.

Doctor. Hurry up,
Doctor.

Doctor, Doctor.
Hurry up.

Doctor, hurry up. This person
is so badly hurt that he is dying.

This is serious.

Brother Changzi will be fine.

This man has just been operated on
and he is still unconscious.

- Daddy.
- Daddy. What happened?

- Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.
- Save him quickly. ,

There are no more operating tables.
What shall we do?

Doctor, Doctor.

Hurry up.
Save Uncle Wang quickly.

Gently!

Becareful, Daddy.

Uncle Wang,

I have no strength at all.
I can't stand up.

Let's talk back to back.

- Doctor...
- Hurry up.

Prepare for the operation.

Doctor, Doctor,
I don't want to trouble you.

I can barely hang on.

I want to see my family.

Changzi.

Brother Zengjia.

Uncle Wang, please speak.

Please look after my two kids
in the future.

I'm counting on you.

Take care of them.

Uncle Wang,
don't worry about that.

Changzi,

I am most concerned about

your marriage with Zhu Meizi.

Today you call me Daddy before I die.

When I see their dead mother,

I can answer her.

Daddy.

Daddy.

- Daddy.
- Daddy.

Uncle Wang.

Daddy...

I will look after Rui Yazi
and Zhu Meizi.

Don't worry.
I promise.

Sister, shall we go?

Go.

Where shall we go?

Follow them.

ZUNYI

What's your name?

Rui Yazi, Wang Rui.

I did not see you
following the directors before.

The superior leaders said
there will be an important meeting here.

Let us enhance the guard.

I was assigned here.

Comrade, come and sit by the fire.

It is cold.

It would be better
if there was something to eat.

Come. I have some fried soybeans
from the director.

Thanks.

What's the name of this place?

I heard this is Zunyi.

The director said
that this is in Guizhou Province.

Do you know where the Red Army
will go next?

Nobody knows.

Our chief of company
said he didn't know.

My daddy didn't know when he was alive.
He just let me follow.

I noticed that foreign officer from
Communist International was unhappy.

He did not order the others
like the emperor's father any more.

Our director is a little happier,
but he doesn't feel like speaking.

And he always smokes,

and smokes heavily.

- Who is your director?
- Chairman Mao.

Chairman Mao,
I know him.

You know him?

Comrade Huafu only knows
how to talk about fighting on paper,

but he doesn't consider that
the warriors will walk, eat and sleep.

He doesn't ask whether there are
hill roads, plains or rivers.

He only knows how to draw on the map
drafted by headquarters

to limit the time of fighting.

This is not the way to win.

Report.

Who is it?
What's happened?

I am bringing the evening meal.
It's noodles.

We don't want to eat.

You've come at the wrong time.
Take it away.

This order was confusing.

You, as a foreign officer,
do not worry about that.

Vice-chairman Zhou, the 2nd Division of
the enemy is coming to Jinsha and Zunyi.

I know.

Don't fight if you have no strength.

I agree with Mao.

Hurry up.

This is Zhou Enlai.

What time?

Yes, yes.
Attack immediately.

Are you the man who sent noodles?

Yes.

You should understand
why Chairman Mao lost his temper.

The meeting is very serious and
you interrupted his train of thought.

Do you know
how important this meeting is?

It is snowing!

Please take a seat, Director.

Are you the man who sent noodles?

I know you.

Of course you know me
because I blamed you.

- I'm sorry for that.
- I knew you before.

You knew me before?

When we crossed the Xiang River
and the enemy's planes bombed us,

I fell down and you pulled me up.

What's your name?

My name is Rui Yazi.

- Surname?
- Wang.

- Is your name Wang Rui?
- Yes.

- You are from Ruijin?
- Yes.

Smoke?

A young man
does not know about worrying.

You won't learn if you do not smoke.

You are cleaning.
I am creating trouble for you.

- No.
- Then I will not smoke.

- No, Chairman. You...
- Don't call me Chairman any more.

The Soviet republican land is lost.

I will not be a chairman.
You can call me Lao Mao.

No, I dare not.

Chairman, you've had meetings
for many days.

Please go to bed and rest.

I cannot sleep soundly.

Rui Yazi, what's in your pocket?

A meeting was held and the electricity
cut off due to an air raid.

These are the candle ends
left by the directors.

Maybe they can be used again some time.

Good.

- You look after them.
- Yes.

Rui Yazi, comb my hair.

Yes.

Thank you, Rui Yazi.

I will go and wash my hands.

Don't move. Stay here.

Chairman,

are you asleep?

No.

You remember my words

that this room
where we are holding our meetings

may be talked about by people
in the future for thim years,

fifty years or a hundred years.

Chairman,

why does the Red Army
come here to hold meetings?

Nobody invites us here.

We come here ourselves
and we are retreating.

We understand
when the Red Army comes here,

we should not make the same mistakes.

We should go along our own road.

That means here in Zunyi
the Red Army knows where we should go.

Where should we go?

Where should we go?

I, Mao Zedong,
don't know where we should go,

but I know
I cannot make the same mistakes.

Not only I know,

but many people are beginning
to know too.

My daddy let me follow everywhere.

The company chief also said so.

You daddy told you to follow,
your company chief also said so,

so we cannot go the wrong way any more.

Rui Yazi

how many people :
are there in your family now?

Five people were killed by the enemy.

Only three people, no,
four people left.

They have now joined the Red Army.

Who are they?

They are my daddy,
my sister and me.

There is another one.

It's my brother-in-law.

My sister is in the field hospital
aa a nurse

and my brother-in-law
is in the same company with me.

Where is your daddy?

Your daddy?

When?

When he crossed the Xiang River.

Let's go to the market

and I'll buy a bowl of food for you.

Join the Red Army,
if you want to be a soldier

Join the Red Army,
if you want to be a soldier

Workers and farmers
like the Red Army,

Officers and soldiers
are equal in the Red Army

Nobody forces you in the Red Army

Join the Red Army,
if you want to be a soldier

To fight bravely, to kill the enemy

To kill bad army soldiers

The democratic rights revolution
will be flnished

Will be finished

JOlN THE RED ARMY

Chairman. Chairman.

Hello, Chairman.

-Are you going to buy vegetables?
-Chairman?

- Buying vegetables?
- We're going to buy good food today.

Sister.

Rui Yazi.

Hey, what are you doing out?

I gave Rui Yazi the day off.

Sister, this is Chairman Mao.

Are you Rui Yazi's brother-in-law?

Hello, Chairman. I haven't entered
the bridal chamber yet.

It doesn't matter.

That means you are
Rui Yazi's brother-in-law-to-be.

Hello, Chairman. He is Xiao Dechang
and I am Wang Zhumei.

I know.

Chairman, where will our Red Army go?

We...We were just discussing that.

Just follow.

Chairman Mao is really outstanding.

I heard the Red Army will be commanded
by Chairman Mao after leaving Zunyi.

In only a few days,
you can see the difference.

If Tucheng could not be conquered, the
army turned to cross the Chishui River.

Nobody died for nothing.

Hey, Company Commander,

why is this river called
the Chishui River?

I don't know.

I heard from local people that on both
sides of the river there is red soil.

When it rains heavily,

the red soil washed into the river dyes
the water red, so it is called Chishui.

Chishui River.

This name sounds lucky.

I heard there is a town called Moutai
which produces strong Moutai wine.

Hey, you naughty boy,
do you want to drink wine?

Oh, no. I want my sister's hospital
to buy more as disinfectant.

You are so clever.
That's a good idea.

The rearguard army
has been fighting with the enemy.

The situation is too urgent
to have a child now.

When Zhu Meizi and I marry,
we will not have a child.

Nonsense!

When the revolution is successful,
we'll bring up more children.

- Hey, Company Commander.
- Shut up!

No more nonsense.
We must concentrate on this guard task.

This revolutionay seed must be planted
safely even if it costs our lives.

Commander,

who is having a baby?

I don't know.
It's our Red Army.

Yazi.

Go and see whether she's had a baby.

Yes.

- Be careful.
- Yes.

Sister Zizhen, congratulations.
It's a girl.

Dr Fu, thank you very much.

How about the army?

Chairman.

Zizhen.

Runzhi.

How are you?

l'm fine.

Dr Fu and the other
doctors worked hard.

Thank you.
I appreciate your hard work.

Thank you.

Chairman!

Look atyour daughter.

Zizhen,

does she look like you or me?

I haven't had time,
to look at her properly.

Look at this face.

If there is a beauty spot on her jaw,

she will bear a remarkable resemblance
to her father.

What a beautiful girl!

It is not a good time for her.

Zizhen, we do not know
how far we will go,

or how many difficulties we will face,

so leave this baby here.

No, do not throw this baby away.

Runzhi, l am a Red Army soldier too.

I understand the army's discipline.

But have you thought about our first
baby who was left in Longyan of Fujian?

Mao Mao was left in Jiangxi.

There is no news about Anying,
Anqing and Anlong.

This baby has just come
into the world today.

It's arrived at the wrong time.

This is not a good time for her.

Zizhen, I am not as hard as stone,

but the Red Army has a strict mission.

I know my blood is flowing
in this baby's body,

but the revolution cannot stop us
from being separated from our children.

Bring the stretcher in.

Dr Fu,

get ready to start.

Yes.

Xiao Wu,

the common people hid.

Take out our silver coins and food
and put them here.

Yes, sir.

Sister Zizhen. Sister Zizhen.

Put the baby on the bed

and cover her with a quilt.

Let's go.

Wait.

Runzhi...

We have not given the baby a name.

There is no need.

When the revolution is successful,
in the future,

it will be good if we can find her.

in case we cannot find her,

it is also good
that she is a Miao girl, isn't it?

"We are the Red Army,
which is the poor people's army."

"Today we procreate

in the Miao region."

"I hope the common people here
can bring her up."

LOUSHANGUAN

Number one platoon,
go down to the trench.

Dechang, lead the troop to the east.

Number three platoon,
go up. Hurry up!

Commander,

we are back here again.

Yes, we are back again.

We have been to the Chishui River
and returned mice.

The director said at the meeting

we are avoiding the enemy
and looking for a chance to attack them.

I trust Chairman Mao's commanding.

We can win the battle eventually

if there are not so many Red Army
soldiers shot down like before.

When we came out from Gu Lin County,
I saw Chairman Mao.

His hair is long and he looked pale.

He also used his hand
to cover his stomach.

He is very different
from the former Chairman Mao.

You mean Chairman Mao is behind us?

I guess he is no more
than a mile behind us.

Can you tell me why he always covers
his stomach with his hand?

Is that real?

Rui Yazi.

Rui Yazi.

He is here.

It's time to fight?

It's none of your business.

You, go back along the troop
and to the west.

Give this rice cake to Chairman Mao.

Go.

Where is Chairman Mao?

You can ask with your mouth.

You can find him within one mile.
Hurry up.

Yes.

Hey, take the gun.

Hey, what are you doing now?

The instructor did not
give you permission to move.

You should understand this is an order.

I am not happy!
My wound has healed.

Fire.

Chang Yazi.

Chang Yazi ran away too fast.

Hurry up,
hurry up.

We have taught the enemy a lesson
for the first time

since we left the central Soviet region.

Come on!

Hey, what are you doing?
Don't move.

Stop hitting the pipe.
Get up, get up.

Changzi.

Look,Commander.

They're hardly moving.
They crave drugs.

Hello,Commander.

Hey, why did it take you so long?

Did you see Chairman Mao?

Did you give the rice cake
to Chairman Mao?

I finished off six.

I wanted you to give him the rice cake,
but you ate six. How many in total?

I killed six enemies,
including one company commander.

What?

Where?

On the left wing.
I fought with the other company.

How about Chairman Mao?

You really killed six?

Rui Yazi, you are still a new soldier
although you killed six ofthe enemy.

You have still not taken the rice cake
to Chairman Mao.

OK, Chairman Mao could not eat it,
but I'll let you eat it.

Fight on.

Drive these tortoises
into the Wujiang River.

Commander.

What?

Look at the floating bridge. The
floating bridge was bombed by the enemy.

They are afraid of us driving them.
How bad they are!

Forward!

That's great!

Since we left Jiangxi,
we've run here and there

like wild rabbits.

Today we will change this situation.

The Red Army drives the Central Army
and will kick its hip.

Rui Yazi also contributed
for the great victory at Loushanguan.

Rui Yazi has killed six of the enemy.

Don't praise him.

Chairman Mao.

Hello, Chairman Mao.

- Hello, Chairman.
- Chairman Mao.

- Chairman, Chairman.
- Hello, everyone.

It is Rui Yazi, isn't it?

At Loushanguan,
Yazi killed six of the enemy.

You are great! Comrade Rui Yazi
has become a hero within one night.

Chairman, I did not finish my task.

Our company commander
wanted me to give you a rice cake,

but I did not finish the task.

Our commander also wanted to punish me.

This is our commander.

Chairman Mao,
our instructor...

Our instructor saw you,
cover your stomach with your hand.

We were worried you might be hungry.

It was hard to get this rice cake.

I'll eat it.

I'll eat it.

Chairman,

I know where the Red Army will go.

Where?

To the place
where we'll defeat the enemy.

Good, Rui Yazi.

Your words are good.

The great pass roads

are like iron.

But go over them today.

Go over them.

One, two, three.

Get away.

The Red Army comes to set you free.

- We are opening it.
- Be careful.

They are there.
Slowly.

Come, get up.

Yazi, stone.

- Hurry!
- For you.

Go home, please.

The instructor is there.

Instructor.

I...

What's wrong?

I, I...

- Brother Changzi's knife was stolen.
- What?

What did you do,
Xiao Dechang?

You were promoted to be a monitor
recently, but you have had big trouble.

Knife is a weapon. It is your second
life. Do you understand?

You, what do you want?

It's you.

If you hadn't given the knife back,
I would have been punished.

Keep up.

Why are you following us?

Hey, do you understand Mandarin?
Mandarin.

A deaf-mute.

You are deaf-mute.

Ah, you understand Mandarin.

Have a rest.

Brother Changzi,
where did you get tobacco leaf from?

It's not tobacco leaf,
it's tree leaf.

I heard it can be smoked,

but it is a little bitter.

You don't smoke, do you?

I'm preparing it for our daddy.

Why don't you leave?

Why did you steal my knife?

I wanted revenge.

Revenge?

Then you can leave now.
Why are you following us?

I want to follow you.

Follow us?

But I cannot make that decision.
I'll have to ask the leader.

Ask what?

Hello, Instructor.
This is the man who stole my knife.

But the knife has been returned.

He stole my knife to get revenge.

The poor people suffer deep hatred.
There's no need for explanations.

He says he wants to go with us.

There's no need to ask.

We accept all poor people
who want to join the Red Army.

- What's your name?
- Daerhuo.

Da-Er-Huo.
Only three Chinese characters.

Good.

The Yi man has a long name.
It is hard to remember.

Daerhuo, stay with this group.

He is your monitor.
His name is Xiao Dechang.

This is our instructor.
His name is Lao He.

My surname is Zeng
and I am the commander.

Monitor.

Lao He,lnstructor.

Commander Zeng.

Daerhuo, there is no weapon
for you at the moment.

Changzi, give your big knife
to Daerhuo for now.

Yes.

Take the opportunity to rest.

Lao He,

we will go through the Yi region.

I'll go to the front I
and you stay at the rear.

This is our Yi region.

Then say goodbye to your hometown.

Yes.

After the Red Army leaves, maybe you
won't come back for mo or three years.

Go.

Comrades, this is the new comrade
in our group.

His name is Daerhuo.
Please welcome him.

OK.

Daerhuo,sitdown.

Just now you were wearing this big cape
and I almost did not recognise you.

Monitor, this is not a big cape.

It is a "Chaerwa".

It can be used as clothes in the day
and as a quilt at night.

Do your family members agree
with you joining the Red Army?

There are no other people in my family.

All my family members
were killed by "officials".

Hey.

- Why are you beating him?
- Why?

Hey, sit down.

All of you, sit down.

Daerhuo, Rui Yazi
was just touching your hair.

Why did you lose your temper?

- Not hair.
- Not hair? What's that, then?

Bodhisattva.

Is it worth beating him for that?

Beat?

If I wasn't a Red Army soldier,
I would have used my knife.

Monitor, Monitor,
Monitor, I was wrong.

Daerhuo beat you,
but you acknowledge the mistake.

I am a Red Army soldier,
not a child,

so I must admit the mistake
if I did something wrong.

Chairman Mao said the Red Army
will not make the same mistakes.

Daerhuo,Daerhuo,

it's my fault.

Good. You are a good boy.

OK, OK.

Yazi admitted the mistake.

Daerhuo beat him since he is a new
soldier and does not know our rules.

The proverb says we make friends by
beating each other. So, shake hands.

From now on, you will be comrades
sharing weal and woe.

Let's congratulate them.

Don't fire. Anyone who fires
will be punished by militay law.

Yi fellowmen.

We are the Red Army.

We are your beloved army.

Daerhuo,

maybe they don't understand my Mandarin.

You repeat what I said. Louder.

OK.

Yi fellowmen.

We are the Red Army.

We are your beloved army.

Yi fellowmen.

We are the Red Army.

We are your beloved army.

It's not good to confront each other.

We should send mo people
to explain to the Yi people.

Commander, let me go with you.

Commander.

Sister.

You stay here. Let me go.

I am a female.

When the Yi people see me,
they will not take more precautions.

Hey, brother leng, brother He, the
situation is very urgent. Let me do it.

Don't worry about me.
I know what to do.

Let the Yi people know
that the Red Army is good.

Sister, I'll go with you.

I'll go, too.

I can communicate.
Maybe someone knows me, Daerhuo.

OK,one sister,one boy
and one Yi brother.

They don't look like they'll attack.

Let's go.

Sister, I'm a little afraid.

Don't be afraid.
Let me sing a mountain song for you.

Hey...

The men went through
the Gan River to take salt

Hey

I heard the brother joins the Red Army

Hey

To watch the village entrance
three times a day

Wake up mom the dream
and feel sweetness in the heart

The Red Army

Go and see who they are.

If they are not good people, then...

Yes.

Daerhuo,

We will take the long march.

Sister, sister, Chairman Mao is here.
Let's go.

Hey, Rui Yazi, where are you going?

I'm going to see Chairman Mao.

Lao leng, let's go, too.

Daerhuo, Daerhuo,
hurry up. Follow us.

Please may I know your name?

It can only be a child who does this.

Chairman.

Chairman wisely commanded the army

to cross the Chishui River four times.

He predicts with miraculous accuracy,

so he knows it's a boy
who covered his eyes.

We shall not call him a child any more.

Our Rui Yazi has grown up.

I am not a brave man.

My sister and brother Daerhuo
were pioneers.

Not only is Zhu Meizi brave,
but also her mountain song is vivid.

And she can also make straw sandals.

Are you comrade Daerhuo?

I didn't know his name.

Commanding officer,
of course you didn't know.

In the Red Army,
we are called comrades.

Daerhuo. The name
sounds like a Yi comrade.

The service cap is on his head
and his body is covered by a "Chaerwa".

He must be Daerhuo.

Daerhuo is a new comrade.

Only three days' service.

In my opinion, the Red Army
can pass through the Yi region

as long as it implements the national
policy of the Communist Party.

Comrade Liu Bocheng
and Chief Xiao Yedan

drank animal blood to make an alliance
as life-and-death brothers.

The Red Army soldiers
treat the Yi people sincerely.

They will be extolled by their
successors for thousands of years.

Suoma!

Hurry up.

Stand to attention
and look to the right.

Stand to attention.
Check the numbers.

Number one platoon is all ready!

Brother Changzi,
I had a dream last night.

Daerhuo and Suoma went out silently
and hugged each other.

Don't tell anyone else about this.

Comrades, the counteraction head
has colluded with the enemy

to attack our field hospital.

Let's start the rescue immediately.

Sister.

Open the door and surrender.

If you defy the order,
we will destroy all of you.

Go.

Lay down your arms
and we'll spare your lives.

Number two platoon,
follow me to make a search.

Come on!

Where are our captured fellows?

Where are our captured fellows?

Hurry up.

Rescue them.

Comrade, did you see Zhu Meizi?

Wang Zhumei.

Sister Xiaolian,
Sister Xiaolian.

Where is my sister?
Have you seen my sister?

Rui Yazi.

- Xiao.
- I'm coming.

Hurry up.

Sister.

Sister, sister,
sister, sister.

Sister.

Yazi. Yazi.

Yazi, Yazi.
Don't do that, Yazi.

Yazi, we are the Red Army.

What's the last term

of the Three Main Disciplines
and Eight Points for Attention?

Don't maltreat captives.

Sister, sister.

What's wrong?

Zhumei.

Yazi

let's help your sister

to put on the shoes.

Zhumei...

These are the straw sandals made by you.

Put them on.

We will go together.

The road is still far.

Look. The river in front of us
is the Da Du River.

ANSHUNCHANG

But we only have three boats.
Each boat only carries twenty people.

To get there and back
takes at least one hour.

Let's count.

To transport all the main forces,
we will need one month.

But Xue Yue's Central Army
has reached Xichang.

Yang Sen's Chuan Army
has also reached Jinhekou of Ebian.

They are only three or four days'
marching behind us.

Yi King Shi Dakai's army
of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

was pursued and wiped out

by Qing Dynasty Army
and overwhelmed completely here.

I heard from the local people

that there are areas of mounds
on the hillside over there.

What are they?

They are the tombs of the Taiping
Heavenly Kingdom soldiers

who were killed in action.

What shall we do, then?

There is only one bridge over the Da Du
River, which is thousands of miles long.

We have only one way.

That is to seize the Lu Ding Bridge
which is about 320 miles from here

to guarantee the central column
crosses the river smoothly.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Commander leng.

Commander leng.

The commissar needs us to occupy
Lu Ding Bridge before May 29th.

Tomorrow is the 29th.

We have been moving quickly
for 80 miles.

We are still 240 miles away
from the Lu Ding Bridge.

This is a two-day route,
but you want me to finish it in one day.

Listen, this is an order of the militay
committee sent by the commissar.

Listen!

Everybody, speed up the march!
Come on.

It is hard for me to move.

Let me have a rest
and then I will keep up with you.

No, don't stop. If you stop,
you can't go forward any more.

Hurry! Hurry up!
We have no time to cook.

Please hold your own. We must get
to Lu Ding Bridge before daybreak.

Hurry.

The people on the opposite side,
listen to me. Where are you from?

It's too bad. We meet enemies
who are going to Lu Ding Bridge, too.

You answer them
because my Jiangxi accent is not good.

Tell them we are also the Kuomintang
Army with orders to go to the bridge.

Don't shout any more.

You see we are also the Kuomintang Army
with orders to march, don't you?

You are great!

Your firebrands are bright, but I want
to save some oil money for wine.

Avalanche.
Stand back.

- The road is blocked.
- Move them out of the way.

Come on, all together!

Yazi, it is dangerous.

Commander.

Yazi. Yazi.
Don't shout.

There are enemies on the opposite side.

LUDING

Yazi.

Stand up.

Comrades.

While we are waiting
for the order to attack,

the Communist Pam branch
will hold a swearing-in ceremony.

We decide on eight comrades
to join the party.

Comrade Wang Rui
should wait half a month

before being eligible to join the party,

but the branch has decided
to allow him to join the party earlier.

Comrade Wang Rui.

This is the first time
I call you comrade.

Commander leng and I
introduced you to the party originally.

But Commander Zeng sacrificed himself
to rescue you.

Before swearing you in,

on behalf of Commander Zeng,
I ask you again.

Why do you want to join the party?

For the Red Army's victory.

And for the liberation and freedom
of poor people.

What do you offer as a guarantee?

My blood,

my flesh,

my bone and my life.

Let's begin.

Instructor.

I have another request.

Speak.

I would like my daddy and my sister

to take part in my enrolment ceremony.

I am sincere in joining the CCP.

our Commander leng

and brother Daerhuo

have all died.

After the victory of the revolution,

we will erect a monument for them.

Never forget these Red Army soldiers.

After this battle,

your hair is standing up.

Let me comb it for you.

Are you sixteen years old?

A sixteen-year-old boy.

No.

A sixteen-year-old Red Army soldier
is outstanding.

Rui Yazi.

In the future,
all the world will say

the Chinese Red Army

is outstanding.

We must go forward and go ahead.

We don't know how long we will go for.

I'll follow.

The Red Army does not fear a long march.

We have brave soldiers like you.

We have the fearless spirit
to overcome all difficulties.

Nothing can stop us.

Bind all people of one mind tightly

The hero's praise song echoes forever

The happiness and bitterness

make me understand
the value and significance of life.

As an old man
who went along the Long March road.

I hope that people in the world today

can have more happy memories

and less bitter memories.
