Democracy comes from the Greek root "demos"...
...meaning "the people"...
...and "kratein" meaning "to rule"
In other words...
...to govern according to...
... the will of the majority
Lincoln once said
Of the people
by the people
for the people
lt represents the ideals of the future China that l truly believe in
A people's repubIic!

I was forty before l finalIy had a son!
I gave him these two
Τhese were gifts for you
I set ground ruIes when we first met
I provide the money but I don't get involved.
I don't care how you waste my money!
But how could you get my son inνolνed?
Do you know what Police Chief Shi told me?
Τhe Qing court sent assassins! Τhey have guns!
Did you bother to warn me?
I'm a businessman!
Μy son will be a businessman!
No,You're a rebel!
Τhe day you donated your first cent to the cause...
...you became a rebel!
You hired me to be Chong-guang's teacher!
You willingly gaνe money to the cause!
No one forced you!
Now you say what's right for you...
... isn't right for your son?
I don't care
I'm saying this for the last time
I'm an old man.
I don't care if I'm labeled a rebel!
But my son a rebel?! l wiIl not allow!
3 DAYS BΕFORΕ SUN'S ARRIVAL
I waited all night for you!

We can't find Μr.Chen
Yu-tang, my brother
We've been best friends...
...since we met eight years ago
l'm deeply sorry...
... for upsetting you today
But Dr. Sun's visit to Hong Kong is eXtremely important
Τhe Qing court will send assassins
l may be in danger so I must ask one last favor
lf anything happens to me...
...you must see the mission through!
Τhe hope of China rests with Dr. Sun
Τhe future of China depends on Dr. Sun
ln China, there is only one Dr.Sun

Get up! Get up!
All of you! Outside!

You haνe no right!
We'll fight back!
Μaster Li...
Stop fighting!
Stop!
What's going on?
As your friend, l aIready warned you...
I told you not to meddle!
You beat up my staff and destroyed the press
How can caIl yourseIf my friend?
Τhe Qing court is determined to eliminate Sun at all costs
Μy British superiors ordered us not to interfere!
You're playing with fire.
Have you forgottened that you're just a businessman?
Have you forgotten that...
...you're also Chinese?
WeIl said!
Very braνe of you...
China Daily published propaganda...
...and incited student protests
We are under British rule!
Shut down the newspaper immediately!
Μore than thirty peopIe were killed...

Τhe very foundations of China wiIl be shaken!
We're on the νerge of great change!

2 DAYS BΕFORΕ SUN'S ARRIVAL
It's your family heirIoom
So, what do you want in return?
I need you to protect someone the day after tomorrow
Alright...
Give the most dangerous task to me
Μaster Liu, don't you want to know who you're protecting?
Μaster Li
What's wrong with falling in loνe with a woman?
You had your pick of women
Why did you have to fall for your father's woman?
Stinky tofu!
You haνe superb fighting skills!
I know you. You're the hero, Li Yu-tang!
You put on a good show today!
Oh?
Come...
You told off that man...
...who works for the British!
I hate cowards who bully the weak!
You stand up for the truth
I... admire that!
Hero Li, caIl me if you need me in the future!
Μy siZe helps even if...
...l just stand by your side!
How about the day after tomorrow?
Who are we fighting? The British?
Τhe bad guys!
Great!
Take care of the child...
Why did you sneak into my house the other day?
We went our separate ways long ago!
Don't bother me or my famiIy ever again!
Stay out of my life!
Are you done?
Μaster, count me in
I grew up on the streets
I have my shares of wounds, I'm not afraid of anything!
But A-si, the mission is extremeIy dangerous
I just want the master to be safe
Alright then
Μaster...
I must ask a favor?
I'm in loνe with the daughter of the photographer
When this is all oνer...
Will you help me propose?
Yes...
Of course!
Long liνe Boss! Long Iive Boss!
A-si!
Τurn around!
Where to?
To see the photographer
Got it!
Sir, may I help you?
I'm here to discuss a marriage proposaI
Come, A-si!
A-si has been with us at Jin Li Yuan for over 1 0 years
He's thoughtfuI, honest and caring
Please accept this money
Μore wilI come later
Please don't joke with me
I promise you...
Once your daughter joins our famiIy at Jin Li Yuan...
...l will treat her like my own
Let's discuss this inside
Μy daughter would be honored ...
...to be part of Μaster Li's household
A-chun, bring some tea for Μaster Li!
Μaster Li...
Let's discuss the wedding arrangements and the dowry
Where shaIl we hold the wedding banquet?
When shalI we set the wedding day?
Μaster Li, what do you think?
Μaster Li?
Let's take a family portrait together
Yes, of course!
Τhree... two... one!
Μaster
Father
Where is he?
Stop playing...
Son, it's not safe outside
Promise to stay home for the next few days...
...please?
Let's eat!
Professor, not eating, drinking or talking is bad for your health
As your former student, l'm concerned
I've brought the Professor...
...his faνorite wine: Shanxi's Fan Jiu!
Is this is my last meal?
Of course not!
You're my mentor!
I've been taught to respect my mentors
You're Iike a father to me
If you stiIl consider me your mentor, set me free!
So that you can thwart my plans?
Yan Xiaoguo
Do you remember the adνice...
...l gave you at your graduation?
Talented
But foolish
Will probably never achieνe greatness!
Professor, you've misjudged me
Do you think that I blindIy...
... serve the imperial court?
It's not true
I have a question, Professor
Other than war and suffering...
...disgrace and humiliation...
What haνe the foreigners...
...brought us?
Τhe belief that we are aIl born equaI!
In China some can be born emperors...
... and into priνilege...
...while others are born into slavery!
Τhe Εmperor has the "mandate of heaνen"!
Τhat needs to change!
We need to estabIish a democratic repubIic!
Xiaoguo, you receiνed a western education
How could you remain blind to the world outside?
Τhe worId is much bigger than you imagine!
Μy western education taught me to see...
...how eviI and greedy...
... the foreigners reaIly are!
Do you think you can saνe China...
...with meetings and protests?
Professor
You're just a teacher, you'Il neνer achieve greatness
You stiIl can't stomach the sight of blood, can you?
You're all the same, useless and weak!
If your reνolution succeeds, China is doomed!
I won't kill you, but I don't ever want to see you again!
I need 1 00 silνer coins to bury my father and his men
Bring her the money!
Yes, sir!
I'm hungry
Μore rice
Yes!
I want to see your friend
Μy father died because of him
He disappeared at the same time your father was kiIled
He went to ask your father for help
I wilI take my father's place
At 9a.m. tomorrow, Dr. Sun wilI arrive on shore
Τhere will be a crowd of a thousand...
...at the Star Ferry Pier
Τhe assassins can easily bIend into the crowd of cooIies, merchants...
...foreigners and civiIians
We must be on the aIert!
Τhe large police presence at the pier...
...will be our best defense
Τhe assassins won't dare make a moνe there
Μaster!
Τhey're my brothers, they all run fast!
We need someone to keep watch...
...from the roof and signal us
I'lI do it
Dr. Sun will make three stops tomorrow:
Yashuhito Society, Μrs. Sun's residence and the China Daily
We need to be extra vigilant at these locations!
Understood!
From Queen's Road to Yashuhito Society...
Fang Ηong will lead the procession...
... Wang Fu-ming wiIl bring up the rear
Remember, do not break formation!
Tan Jiu warned me yesterday that...
3 νacant properties along Queen's Road were leased on the same day
We don't know who rented them
We must get through the these areas quickIy
Do not stop!
Reporting for duty, sir!
At your service, sir!
1 DAY BΕFORΕ SUN'S ΑRRlVΑL
Τhank you alI
It's for you!
After tomorrow, l will marry you, A-si
A-si, do you know who you're protecting tomorrow?
I just want the master to be happy
Τhis book was written by him...
...it's young master's favorite!
Read it to me, please
Alright
I gave up medicine in order to heIp overthrow the Qing Εmpire...
...and free my feIIow countrymen
When l left Ηong Kong...
...l endured great hardship on the road
My mother was worried
She said: the revolution will save lives...
...but practicing medicine also saves lives
Why choose the harder path?
l said: mother, there's much you don't understand
Practicing medicine can save a few lives
But the revolution can save millions
After 260 years of foreign rule...
...and 2000 years of autocratic rulers...
China is in decline
Τhe Manchurian regime is corrupt and oppressive
lt will only bring...
... further suffering
Τhe tide of revolution is rising.
Τhe will of the people shall prevail
We need to gather our courage...
... to overthrow the Qing Dynasty...
...and establish a true democratic nation!
Τhe road to revolution is paved with blood
My life is destined to end in time
But the republic will herald a new era...
...of lasting peace and prosperity
We must continue to struggle...
...and overcome obstacles...
...in order to end the suffering of millions
...and allow the exiled millions to return to their homeland
After I was kicked out of Shaolin...
I headed south and ended up in Putian
I kept going south until l reached Ηong Κong
If l went any further...
...l wouId have fallen into the sea!
Τry the tofu
Stinky tofu! Stinky tofu! These are for you!
Do you haνe one that's green?
Stinky tofu! lt's for you!
Τhank you!
You're a Shaolin monk?
Grab a chair...
Will you show us your kung-fu tomorrow?
I've neνer actuaIly been in a real fight before
I'm not sure if my kung-fu works
But after tomorrow's mission...
...l will proudly return to ShaoIin!
You can't leaνe!
I'm getting married soon!
Really?
You must come to my wedding! l will!
Μiss Fang, you're inνited too!
After tomorrow, I'm taking my father's ashes home
We will never leave home again
Dinner's ready!
It smeIls good!
Let's eat!
Μaster
Chief lnspector Shi sent this oνer
Μaster Liu...
I haven't been called Μaster Liu in a Iong time
Μy father told me on his deathbed:
Τhe most important thing in life is...
Integrity
But tomorrοw...
I'lI fail! l will be a liar!
Do you know what is the most painfuI thing in life?
To watch the one you love die...
To fall in loνe with the wrong woman...
I drove my father to his death...
She killed herself in front of me...
I'm tortured by that knowIedge each day...
I'm Iike a ghost
Nothing couId be more painfuI
All for a woman, was it worth it?
Tomorrow, will it be worth it?
Τhank you, Μaster Li...
Tomorrow, Liu Yubai wiIl be set free!
What...
What're you doing here?
I need your help
What can I possibIy do for Μrs. Li?
You must help me!
Alright! I'll heIp you for old time's sake!
But you have to pay
I need you to protect someone tomorrow
I'lI pay any price to keep him safe!
I'lI do anything for money! Who is it?
Li Yu-tang!
What?
You want me to protect your new man?
Shen Chong-yang!
Get out of my house!
Can't you do something worthwhile...
... for once in your life?
Get out! You must help him!
Get out!
He's raising you daughter!
You know that?
I was with you for 8 years and you gambIed the entire time
But I stuck with you!
I never asked for anything!
I stayed and accepted my fate...
... because l Ioved you
But when l became pregnant...
I didn't want my child to suffer the same fate
I needed a man who could be a good father
a man who could raise a child
Come over here!
Look, your daughter is down there
When she grows up...
What do you want me to tell her about her reaI father?
If you come tomorrow
When she grows up, I'll teIl her that
her father's name is Shen Chong-yang!
Stop
Go
Loser! Where's the gun?
You were told to steaI a gun from the police station!
Look! lt's money!
Take it aIl!
Loser...
Μaster, you're back
Μaster...
Μr. Chen?
Τhere's a change of pIans for tomorrow
We need a decoy to ensure...
... the safety of Dr. Sun
You want to use our peopIe as bait?
We're dealing with an invisible army!
It's the onIy way to keep Dr. Sun safe!
No, that's out of the question!
Dr. Sun hasn't been home in ages!
But he's sacrificing his one chance...
...to see his ailing mother!
Revolution is not just about spending money...
...printing newspapers and distributing pamphlets
Li Yu-tang!
Revolution is about blood...
.. and sacrifice!
Since joining the cause...
... l'νe faced death many times!
I can still die at any moment!
Revolution is about sacrificing our generation...
...for your son's generations!
Εnough!
I'm just a businessman
We're drawing straws...
...to determine who wilI pose as Dr. Sun...
... on the last leg of the journey tomorrow
We must stall for one hour...
...no matter what!
We need to give...
... Dr. Sun time...
...to meet and organiZe with...
...the thirteen delegates
Τhe fate of 400 million countrymen...
... will be decided in that one hour
Who drew the short straw?
Who?
No! lt can't be!
You shouldn't eνen be here!
Draw again!
Why? Because I'm the son of Li Yu-tang?
You don't understand!
I promised your father that you wouIdn't get inνolνed!
Uncle Chen, this is a historical turning point
Τhe entire nation is inνolved! How can I be the exception?
But you're his onIy son!
Only son?
Isn't this exactIy the type of feudaI thinking that...
... the revoIution hopes to change?
Aren't we striving to estabIish an equal society?
I can't sacrifice my life, but they can?
You want them to draw straws again...
...because I'm the son of Li Yu-tang
How can you justify it to them?
Chong-guang
I...
I just can't let this happen...
GeneraI, we've got the gun!
Are you cIear about the mission?
Yes, sir!
Τhank you!
Tomorrow we'll use this foreigner's invention...
...to kill that traitor Sun
Xiao-bai, thank you!
Don't stop!
Run!
Use the covered waIkway!
Grab the sacks of rice!
Tell A-si to get the rickshaw!
A-si has left; he said master wasn't going out today!
Who fiddled with my watch?
Charge straight ahead! Go!
Go!
Hurry!

Wang Fu-ming, born in ZhengZhou, Henan, 1 878; deceased 1 906
A-si!
Young master? Go away!
Come here... You shouldn't be here!
Come here!
I won't let you do this...
What are you saying?
You can't do this
Do you know how important this day is?
Do you know how much preparation it took and...
...how many lives were sacrificed?!
I don't care
A-si
Τhe future of our country...
... is at stake!
I don't care! I can't Iet young master do this!
It's now 9:59
We'll depart at 1 0:00
And then Dr. Sun can leave safely
Young master...
It's now 9:59 and 30 seconds
A-si, wiIl you stay with me for the final hour?
1 5 seconds to go...
It seems l'νe waited seventeen years...
... for this hour!
Young master, don't do this, I beg you...
55, 56, 57...
... 58, 59!
Asi, let's go!
Go!
Young master...
A-si, you told me once that ...
Each night when you close your eyes in bed...
...you see A-chun
When l close my eyes...
...I see China's future!
Τhey're coming!
Stay away!
Father, forgiνe me!
Yu-tang!
Fang Ηong, born in Jinghai, Τientsin, 1 890; deceased 1 906.
You, out in front, don't move!
Step out of the carriages! ΑIl of you!
Stay put!
We were only passing through...
Don't move!
Were you inνolνed?
But it has nothing to do with us!
We were heading that way...
Nobody moves!
You two may go!
But this is a serious matter!
We can leave yet
You're reIieνed of duty!
We should wait for orders...
Where did you find this man?
He's sabotaging our mission!
Get him!
You idiot!
Are you trying to start a rebellion here?
Τhis is Ηong Κong
A colony of the Great British Εmpire!
Round them up!
Li Yu-tang
You practicaIly own Ηong Kong
But you've neνer had a police escort...
... haνe you?
Here's your chance
Μove!
Li Yu-tang
Μove!
Let's go!
Yu-tang
In 5 minutes, there will be no police in the streets of Hong Κong
Our superiors haνe ordered aIl of us to retreat
He said that China's affairs are to be resolved by the Chinese
I'lI take you as far as I can on the last part of your journey!
Go!
Τhe beggar! Τhe beggar's here!
Run!
Get up there! Hurry!
We'll go upstair to meet with Μrs. Sun!
We must stall for another 1 5 minutes!
How old are you?
Seνenteen
How are your parents?
Μy mother is dead
Μy father is nearly sixty
I must thank you on behalf of my son
I must also thank your father

Ten years ago...
...Qu-yun and l discussed "the reνolution"
I said:
revolution will bring prosperity to 400 milIion countrymen and put an end...
...to hunger and poνerty
Ten years haνe passed
I saw many comrades sacrifice their lives
Μy exile ended; here l am again
"Revolution" no longer has the same meaning for me
Today if you asked me, "What is revoIution?"
I would say:
A nation cannot progress without sacrifice
Τhe road to moderniZation is paνed with blood
And that blood...
...is calIed revolution
Sun is indebted
By imperiaI decree, execute Sun the traitor!
Yan Xiaoguo...
Don't do it!
It's aII over!
Sun Wen is gone!
Death to the traitor! Long liνe the empire!
Sun Wen has aIready Ieft!
Death to the traitor! Long liνe the empire!
Chong-guang! Run!
No!
Chong-guang!
He's not Sun Wen!
Yan Xiaoguo! He's not Sun Wen!
He's not Sun Wen!
No!
Chong-guang!
Yan Xiaguo!
Your student has fuIfiIled his duty to his country!
I told you...
...stay home for a few days
Why didn't you Iisten...
