:09:08
Hurry.
:09:10
Sweet rice, black beans.
:09:12
You be very careful. Write, Sau.
:09:15
I will return.
:09:21
Le Ly, I will return.
:09:23
Be a big girl.
Always take care of Mama and Papa.
:09:27
Protect yourself from ghosts.
:09:29
Take care.
:09:34
As they went north to Hanoi
with the Viet Cong...
:09:37
...I felt it was the last time
I'd see my older brother, Bon...
:09:41
...and my younger brother, Sau,
for a long, long time.
:09:45
Maybe forever.
:09:47
But it was Sau who was ripped
from my heart.
:09:58
You understand that a country is more
than a lot of dirt, rivers and forests?
:10:06
You know your brother, Sau,
may not come back?
:10:16
I told you many times...
:10:19
...the Chinese ruled our land.
:10:23
Many died.
:10:25
Le Loi, Jia Long and the Trung sisters.
:10:28
And your ancestor Phung Thi Chinh fought
to throw out the Chinese.
:10:33
Your grandfather fought
and died against the Japanese...
:10:36
...just before you were born.
:10:39
We suffered much.
:10:42
When the Japanese came...
:10:45
...your mother and I were taken
to Danang...
:10:47
...to build a runway for the airplanes.
:10:52
We worked like slaves.
:10:55
Our reward was a bowl of rice...
:10:59
...and another day of life.
