THE WINTERS OF THREE HAIRS
Oh!

Ha, ha...
I'm not hungry.
Steaming hot buns!
Be careful! Beggar...
little beggar, damn!
Beggar, do you want to die?
Damn!
Yeah!
What are you doing?
Ha, ha...
Bah!
Hey, hey, you're
eating this thing?
Want to become
a fucking hungry ghost?
Did you read: "Pay attention
to hygiene"
"Don't eat cold or raw
food" Understand?
A little rascal?
Hit him, hit him!
Damn, little beggar,
careful when you bump someone!
Damn!
Hit him...
Damn this fellow!
Come!
Hit him...
Ha, ha... heh, heh...
Uncle, this fellow
stole our food.
And he hit people.
This little beggar smashed our
apples and pears.
Teach him a lesson! Thrash him!
Beat it!
Heh... little rascal,
what's your name?
Where are you from?
Hey, why don't you
say something?
Newspaper, newspaper...
Newspaper!
Flat cakes, dough sticks!
How much?
Little rascal, you sold
yesterday's paper?
Still want it?
No.
Flat cakes, dough sticks!
Oh no! Terrible!
The price went up again!
Fuck, stealing business again?
What's up with this?
Oh, don't be this way!
Are you going to push or not?
Little beggar, a bit faster!
Ow, ow...
Hey, damn, you've come
again to steal our food!
Beat him!
Quiet down!
Let me ask him
some questions.
You pushed the rickshaws,
didn't you?
Yeah,
what of it?
Now, don't you understand
the rules? -What rules?
This hill is run by Uncle.
this area is managed by Uncle.
If you want to make a living
in my territory
you must obey me,
and abide by my rules.
Then I'll abide by the rules.
Good. Listen all of you.
He's our little brother.
After this, if there's a problem
you all must show
some consideration to him.
Little Dog.
- Yeah.
Teach him the rules.
Take him along, understand?
Hey..
- Ha
Ha, ha...
Pay the money, boss.
Hey, why aren't you paying?
Hey, who among you
hasn't come forward yet?
I must go settle
the accounts with Uncle.
1, 2, 3, 4...
Little Brother
What's up? Business
today isn't too bad!
Ah... - Give it to me!
- What are you doing?
What? You still don't
understand the rules?
Three Hairs, give the money
to Old Zhao, that's the rule.
What? I earned the money.
Why give it to him?
You... you hit me!
I'll beat you to death,
you little rascal!
Ha, ha...
Damn!
Hey, he's finally come.
How about mine?
Take it. Eat.
Hey, little rascal,
scram, scram!
Stop, little rascal.
You can't come in here,
go away.
Children are the future leaders
of our nation.
We must cherish children!
We must respect children!
We must give children
hamburger to eat.
We must give children
foods rich in vitamins,
protein, calcium, and iron.
And, we must give children
fruit to eat.
Because fruit is rich
in nutrients,
and very beneficial
to childrens' bodies.
We also should pay
attention to giving
warm and comfortable clothes
for our children to wear.
We must also teach them
to cherish hygiene
and maintain cleanliness and beauty.
We must also remember
to give them books to study
to increase their knowledge
and develop their courage
so they become modern citizens.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
we must all act together.
Dear little friends,
today is your holiday.
You should be happy, and should go forward
as a united and flourishing army.
Celebrate Children's Day!
Children are the future leaders
of the nation.
Come, come!
We must cherish children,
respect children.
Da dee dee da dee...
Hello...
Hello!
Damn, little pickpocket,
I'll take you to the police.
Are you blind?
Do you still dare or not?
Hey... friend, your things
aren't missing. Forget it!
What do you want?
Heh, heh... forget it,
forget it, little old brother.
Hey, do you recognize me?
Are you hungry?
Come eat at my place.
Heh, heh...
Old Gen, Old Gen!
Perform a few magic tricks
to show Little Brother.
Wow!
Ha, ha...
Ha, ha...
You try it.
Go.
I can't.
Go. Ah Gen will teach you.
Go quickly!
Go!
Look out for your pen.
Don't let him take it.
Ha, ha...
Ha, ha...
Ah Gen, teach him
the two-handed one.
Watch.
What magic is this?
It's pickpocketing!
This is a skill so you
can eat. Learn it quick.
No.
Hey, Little Brother,
where are you going?
You want me to be a pickpocket.
I won't do it.
What? You've eaten your fill.
You have warm clothes.
And you still don't want to do it?
Heh, heh..
Ow...
Oh, terrible!
- What happened?
My things are missing.
What things?
Several drug prescriptions,
a little money and...
all of great value.
A sick relative is waiting
at home.
Look, isn't it terrible?
Old man, is this yours?
I truly thank you, Little Brother.
Take this money
to buy some sweets.
I don't want it.
Damn!
Ow...
Go hungry for three days and nights.
Then I'll see if you're
still a good person or not.
Mama!
Ow!
Oh, good child, don't run away.
Mama will buy you some fabric.
Look, isn't this fabric pretty?
Oh! This fabric is really good looking.
I'll make my baby a new outfit
when we get home!
Obey. Be good!
Hey, let's look over there.
Ok. Ok...
Hey, how are we missing
a few pieces of fabric?
Did they just go missing?
Hey, whose child is this?
What's going on?
Just now we're missing
a few pieces of fabric.
Don't carry on, ok!
Go! Auntie is calling you.
Catch the thief!
Oh!
That way!
He ran that way!
Hello, friend..
A little thief just ran by. Did you see him?
- No, I didn't.
I saw him run over here!
I haven't seen him!
I'm selling children.
Anyone want a child?
I'm selling children.
We really can't afford
to raise these children.
As long as Madame is looking
if you can get them a bowl of rice
to eat, that's enough.
These children are unsuitable.
Oh... this child...
- No, no...
He has no parents!
Hey! Child, do you have parents?
- No.
Why are you for sale?
I'm hungry. I must eat.
Eat? That's easy!
What are you doing for sale?
Come with me.
But, you'll have to obey an adult.
- Really?
It's impossible I don't have a child!
You think that wild child is yours,
don't dream of it!
She gave birth to a wild child,
and you?
You also gave birth to one.
Go and look!
Who can't beget children,
you or me?
You have the nerve to talk about it!
I'm telling you that
we can talk until dawn. Don't imagine
you can bring that evil woman here.
Get out!
That child, Three Hairs, is here.
Ok. Ask him to come in.
Madame. The child is here.
This child's family is pure?
I've enquired about him.
He's from a very good family.
Is he intelligent?
- Extremely intelligent.
Is he obedient?
He knows to obey adults,
heh, heh...
Come here!
Good. From now on,
call me Mommy, ok?
What?
What? What are you
doing with this child?
What am I doing? He's my son!
Oh!
This is your chairman of the board,
meaning my elder brother.
From now on,
your name isn't Three Hairs.
It's Tommy.
Tom My? No.
Obey adults, ok?
Oh! Tommy, this is the right thing!
Ok! Have some pastry!
Eat!
Hey! Use a fork!
Don't make a sound!
This way.
Miss Wu
This Saturday, I'd like to have a party
for this child.
Please teach him some more manners.
Good child, what are you afraid of?
If you cry again, I'll beat you to death.
Come meet all your uncles and aunts.
This is Aunt Zhao. Bow.
This is Aunt Tian.
This is Aunt Sun.
Ha, ha... this child is really intelligent.
Intelligent and unaffected.
He truly is noble and dignified.
Good and clever, more than you.
Hey! You still don't see
that this child is exactly
the same as our Elder Sister.
Look, they are made
from the same mould.
Ha...
Ha, ha...
Grandmother has come.
Kowtow to Grandmother.
- It's unnecessary.
Let me look at you... ah.
- Ha, ha...
Long life for a hundred years!
Take it! Thank Grandmother!
Take it.. oh, everyone's so polite!
Do you dare to accept?
Thank your aunts.
Mary! Come here and meet
your elder brother Tommy.
Elder Brother Tommy!
Ha, ha...
Go away. Go away.
Go go go
Master, do a good deed.
Give me something to eat.
Master...
We're starving to death,
give us something to eat!
Hey! Little Ox!
Little Ox. Little Dog, Scabby Head!
Three Hairs! It's you!
Damn, Three Hairs!
The fellow really has a knack.
You've landed in
a great official's house!
Yeah! I'm having a hard time.
How are you doing?
We're starving to death.
You all hurry inside,
and I'll get you something to eat.
Really? Can you?
They won't beat us?
It's nothing, they have so much food here.
What does it matter if
you eat a little? Come on!
Go over there. Come on!
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
today that we can attend
this distinguished gathering
is a great, great honor.
Now my little girl Mary
will perform a song.
The name of the song is:
"Tommy, I Love You"
Where is Young Master?
Hey! Have you seen Young Master?
It's best I get Miss Wu!
Quick, go look! He's next
on the program.
Yes. Go quickly!
Now is Young Master Tommy's solo:
"Oh My Darling"
Madam, we've looked everywhere,
but we can't find Young Master.
Son of a bitch! What are you
people doing?
Thieves...
Beat them, beat them!
Oh no!
Boss, those beggars
have all been chased away!
You sons of bitches!
You pieces of crap!
How did you let so many beggars
into the house?
Boss, it wasn't us.
It... it was Young Master.
What about Young Master?
Hey! It was me!
They are all my friends!
I asked them to come in.
What of it?
Ah!
Get somebody quick!
Elder Sister...
Quick, drink a little wine... come on...
What's going on?
Who knew downstairs was badly guarded?
She's a little better. Elder Sister.
Oh! Thank God.
Still "uh"?
This is all your doing.
What did you say?
This due to your darling son,
the beggar son caused this.
What?
- What?
You won't accept that
I have this son?
You called me a beggar?
- You, you...
You're the beggar!
You're a dummy! An old son of a bitch!
Hateful!
What is "Tom My"? I am Three Hairs.
Again you don't obey adults?
I obey your Tommy, bah!
You... you... take this child's clothes
and quickly collect them.
Get them quickly for me.
- Ok.
Who wears your clothes?
Am I unhappy to leave you?
Hey!
Oh... Elder Sister...
What are you doing?
Elder Sister...
Oh!
I'll return to the streets to sleep.
Three Hairs! Liberation! We poor are free.
Three Hairs...
Welcome the People's Liberation Army...
Long live the Communist Party!
Long live Chairman Mao...
Liberation day is a sunny day
Liberation people are happy people
Liberation sun will never set
Liberation people...
Oh!
