:24:03
heard from their spies about author
Wu's forbidden book.

:24:14
Artists are like insects.
:24:16
Swat a few, and more fly out
of the dung heap.

:24:21
Take Author Wu's manuscript away.
:24:24
And, of course, kill him.
:24:29
What, what are you doing?
:24:34
Oh, let me go!
Stop!

:24:37
He cannot hear you.
:24:39
I can't just watch!
:24:42
We've got to do something.
:24:45
Wu gave up his life that night
for his writing.

:24:50
But Shu soon discovered that
:24:52
even fire could not destroy this book...
:24:55
that its powers were greater than
he had ever imagined.

:24:58
When it comes to decadent art
:25:01
nothing beats a roaring fire.
:25:08
There are some books so powerful that
:25:10
their very existence changes the world.
:25:15
The Bible, the Koran, the Torah
:25:18
the teachings of Buddha.
:25:20
These have fueled human progress
:25:22
and change for millennia.
:25:24
I can't believe it.
:25:27
Even Shu could not stop this work
from coming into being.

:25:34
Over the years, pages of the original
:25:37
were secretly copied by brave scholars
:25:40
until the whole book was finally printed.
:25:44
So your story has a happy ending.
:25:46
What do you need me for?
:25:47
Shu and the Masters never stopped...
:25:49
trying to destroy the original manuscript.
:25:52
I don't understand...how could these
censors still be alive?

:25:57
Their spirits live on here in the world
of the Emperor's tomb.
