The fever was hidden...
2:12:03
in his belly.
2:12:05
My father-in-law was
in the worst shape.

2:12:09
My situation was less serious.
2:12:11
Every time I had attacks,
they lasted an hour or so...

2:12:15
and I would shiver
until my nose bled.

2:12:18
Slowly the fever subsided.
2:12:20
I kept trying to get
train tickets back to Taipei...

2:12:24
but it was impossible.
2:12:27
Too many people
had been evacuated.

2:12:31
I kept trying, but it wasn't until
the 1 2th day of the eighth month...

2:12:36
that I finally got the tickets.
2:12:39
So then what happened?
2:12:40
All my money was spent on doctors
in that little village.

2:12:45
We buried my father-in-law there.
2:12:49
When we got back to Taipei,
I only had 50 cents in my pocket.

2:12:53
What could I do
with just 50 cents?

2:12:55
I hired a rickshaw...
2:12:59
to take my wife, daughter
and younger son back home.

2:13:04
My elder son Hong
and I then walked...

2:13:08
all the way to Dualungbong...
2:13:12
resting 1 3 times on the way.
2:13:17
After we got home...
2:13:18
I ran into my first apprentice...
2:13:22
whose name was Diu.
2:13:25
Ever since the day
of theJapanese surrender...

2:13:29
he had been performing straight,
without rest...

2:13:33
on Bingang Street.
2:13:34
He heard I was back
and came to see me on the 1 3th.

2:13:39
He said, "Master,your old fans
on Bingang Street...

2:13:42
really want to see you perform.
2:13:45
Please go to perform for them."
2:13:47
I asked how I could perform...
2:13:51
with fits of trembling...
2:13:53
from malaria that lasted an hour.
2:13:56
He said, "Don't worry.
2:13:59
I'll take you there tomorrow...
