Yangguang Canlan de Rizi

:00:13

Peiking has changed so fast.

:00:19

In 20 years, it's become a modern city.

:00:23

Almost nothing is as I remembered.

:00:27

Change has wiped out my memorise.

:00:30

I can't tell what's
imagined from what's real.

:00:35

My stories always take place in summer.

:00:38

People expose more of
themselves in the heat.

:00:40

and find it harded to
control their desires.

:00:44

It seemed like it was
always summer then.

:00:47

The sun always had time to
come out and play with us.

:00:50

The sunlight was so relentless,

:00:52

so bright,

:00:54

that our eyes were washed
in waves of blackness.

:00:57

In the Heat of the Sun.

:01:14

In the raging stroms of Revolution.

:01:18

The soldiers' hearts
turn towards the sun.

:01:22

Oh, Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao.

:01:25

We want to express our ardour to you.

:01:31

You launched the Cultural Revolution.

:01:36

and your military
victories are stunning.

:01:39

Your brilliant thoughts
are like dew and sunlight.

:01:49

After the 9th Party Congress in 1969.

:01:50

my father was sent to
Guizhou as an army rep.

:01:52

to stop factional battles
taking place there.
