Hong Kong 1941 (1984) - full transcript

"Hong Kong 1941"

Over the years I've survived
even the darkest nights

and lived to see many dawns

each dawn renewing my hope

The one I will remember the most

happened when everything
was at it's worst

and all seemed lost during

my darkest days, in 1941

Despite the rumors the British
government maintains that

they will still strive
to support Hong Kong

The statement was
made earlier today



in response to mounting fear over
the ongoing war against Germany and Japan

The HMS Prince of Wales

and the HMS Repulse

have been dispatched to the Far East to further
boost confidence in the region

While men in the Military

or Government service are
required to stay in Hong Kong

their families have
been forced to evacuate

over the months that

this has been going on

several female group
have mounted protests

unhappy at having to leave
their loved ones behind

The next evacuation party is due to
leave for Australia tomorrow at 10 AM

Come on it's only singing it's
not like you're selling yourself

I might as be in
a place like that



it's disgraceful

well what the hell am I
going to tell the customers

nephew might hear us

so let him hear

and we're not
exactly millionaires

is done singing all night long"

Fai. I like you.
You've got style

You want a friend

fine with me

but just stay out of my way

Sure

- Pong
- Huh

They've been talking
for a long time now

Well maybe they're still trying
to get to know each other

I remember when our parents introduced us
we didn't know what to say to each other

Why don't they understand we don't
have anything in common at all

but it wasn't long
before we were in love

And isn't marriage suppose
to be about being in love

Leave it to me,
I have a good idea

We'll just tell them
that I'm already dying

Good idea

They'll understand

Dad

Dad

Dad, I'm not hungry

Anna

You'll have dinner
with us you understand

Anna. Mr. Lee and I

have decided that you and
Paul should get married

But ma'am,
I'm going to be dead soon

It's true she's dying

It's true ma'am

I don't want to be a widower

And that's not the worst part of
it my child could also inherit it

Come on, no way.
Mom, it isn't right No. I

You'll be sorry

your future grandson
could inherit it

Sit down! This is no joke

we're talking about your future

Sit down

Sir, telephone

My father's name was Chung Shin

he owned a rice granary

On the day he wanted
to match Paul and me up

he had also arranged to
hoard the supply of rice

violating the price
control legislation

then he laid off the
workers without pay

What happened, huh.
What happened

We have nothing to worry about
they've agreed to our terms

Oooh, that's wonderful, now then

the British will soon realize that
we are not men who mess around

Go on, get out of here Not a
chance, not without our money

What my father hadn't
expect was that his decision

would ultimately draw Kong
Fai and me closer together

Alright then

you won't ever get your wages

Anyone else, well, I'm listening

Anyone Come on, speak up

You know what.
I hate bullies like you

Get Shin down here

We're not leaving
until we get paid

Yeah!

Call him up

They called the cops

Get them, yeah

Everybody. Get the rice!

Stop that

Well. Sit down!

Everyone out the cops are here!

I knew I liked him. The gate!

Thanks

Here. Not a bad idea

There, follow him

Just hold it

It's all yours

The cops are here!

Don't run

I couldn't agree with you
more but thing have changed

Yeah.
Not that it effects us much

Alright. Where the hell is Shui

Not here

They're making fun of us I
know you're hiding Kong Huang!

Who the hell is he!

Don't you test my patience

he's wanted and you
know that by hiding him

you're breaking the law!

What? All of us here are
honest law abiding citizens

It's your job to find him

How dare you blame
you mistakes on us

Please sir these people are
getting really mad at us

Maybe, we should just
leave them the rice

What. No way

Beat it

Listen you. I won't forget this

I'll throw you back to where
you came from, you hear me

You'd better watch it
You understand, move

It's alright everyone
take it easy go on home

Hey. Can I come down

Not again

I'll give you this sack of rice

If you tell me where
to find someone

We just went though this

I'm not looking to cause trouble

If you'll accept my friendship

I'll give you all this rice

You're pretty brave mister maybe
we'll just take it from you

Alright,
let him bring down the rice

Go on

Good rice. Look at it

I'm impressed mister

Hey. Hey Kong look at the
rice this guy brought us

"Justice always prevails!”

Sing louder. Come on. Come on

"must keep moving right on”

"Must keep moving,
gotta keep moving"

"gotta keep moving right on"

You could have told me first

before spreading it around!

I meant to tell you about it

But I was thinking of
how to earn a living

Yuen Long to sell these clothes

Yuen Long?

Somebody told me that
there's a black market there

a day without me right

watching you on stage

I was one of your biggest fans

I remember all your acts not
to mention your funny songs

And my very favorite song of
all was the barefooted monk song

It's been quiet a long time
since I've sang that old song

Well, I remember

"You old scum, you bird brain”

"you forgot to wear your
sandals again as again”

"Don't need them, while I walk"

"all I need are just my
stocks just my stocks"”

"And your feet"

"And my toes"

"So here we go"

"What's that on my
feet, horse shit"

"life is fun on stage”

"Songs and laughter that
keep your troubles away"

"Must keep, must keep moving"

Who's making that noise

Come on I'll show you

"Must keep moving,
gotta keep moving"

Ever tried these

No

"Must, keep, moving"

Kong never was able to
buy his old house back

but he lived a happy life
in the years that followed

Now just a memory, like the dawn

overwhelmed by the
strong morning sun

Now I'm alone

just me and the memories

Telling everyone
the same old story

about the 2 wonderful
men, in my life
