Bao’s carnage

Bao has encouraged his rat pack to terrorize the whole village now. They now beat up old ladies and completely trash food stalls and the book store. I didn’t blame the crowd for being scared, but they sure as hell pissed me off that nobody was running to the police. They either stood there and watched or disappeared. Hao and Xun want to take care of them but Cha talks them down. I think he is plotting to permanently end Bao and doesn’t want the boys involved. That teacher, she just made my s list again. If she would have just looked at the pain in his eyes she would have known something was very wrong. She just couldn’t get off her damn soapbox long enough to let it register. I really hate how they wrote her as this obtuse tunnel visioned person. She can’t get her bias out of the way to see what’s going on. That she never had a clue about Tang when she should have been helping protect her. She falls lower on the good scale than Cha does considering how she thinks she rates. She is missing some huge things right under her nose, and she says she’s known him since 18, but she doesn’t really know his heart or what he suppresses and hides from her to keep her mouthy self safe. The bookstore owner is such a sad case. He knows he’s been submissive and hidden, but he just wanted to live in peace with his family. I like that he encouraged Tang to continue her studies. Tang’s older self purchased the plot next to Xun’s memorial. That is pure dedication. Hao shows Nian and Cheng the pictures they took at the billiard place opening and they could see the younger versions of everybody. At least now they know why Xun pretended to be dead and I think that left an impression on Cheng that in spite of prison, etc. Xun was a decent man and anybody that knew him agreed. I don’t think I want to know what happened with Yibo. There is no use for him. I hope he is one they don’t look into. Hao wants them to let him know if Xun shows up.

Bao’s bullies

Cha has decided to close up shop rather than make money for Bao. It is not going over well and Bao’s boys are causing trouble everywhere. Cheng sends a letter to Tang saying he’s her son and not to be around Xun, that he would cause her trouble. They are trying to figure out what this all means when the mailbox has disappeared. Bao’s punks harassed the lame girl, trashed the bookstore and threatened to harm the teacher. She came by and saw Cha talking with them and of course she assumes the worst. The bookstore manager gave Tang her pay in advance but had to fire her because his family lived at the store. He could not risk it and Tang didn’t blame him. The three are trying to figure out what to do because none of their loved ones are safe. Bao is determined to keep them in line working for him. The episode ends in the future where the security guard is keeping the demolition team from taking the mailbox. Nian opens the door and Hao is there.

Birthdays

The episode starts with a chat about bday gifts. When Tang asks Xun when his bday is, he has no response. In his entire life he has never once celebrated his bday. She declared 9 Nov his bday and that they would be celebrated every year. His tearful face at having somebody love him and make a day for him. Their happiness turned into a nightmare. They are running and bloody and he has a knife. I am guessing they had their last fight with Bao et al. At least they are all alive. All three guys went to jail for various time lengths. Xun got 13 yrs for involuntary manslaughter. Since Cha said he owed him money, I am wondering if he took the worst crime to keep his friend out of trouble. When jailed he refused to see Tang. She reached a point where she wanted to end it all and walk into the sea, but as she was giving up, she heard Xun’s voice in her head telling her to live well. She got herself together, unburied her cookie tin with their keepsakes and went to college. She ran into Hao who gave her the memorial plot address for Xun. He was not really dead but he did not want to lessen her life with his past crimes. He did try to call her once but when he heard her son call her mom, he figured she was married and better off without him. Every year on 9 Nov she cleaned his memorial and left a bday cake and flowers. She did this for decades. The episode ends with them being old and she still delivers the cake. This year she just gave him the cake and said goodbye, she usually sat and chatted with him but this time it was just happy bday and leaving. He is there watching and as she leaves he still doesn’t say anything but cries bitterly. His life had changed significantly after prison. He promised he would visit his friend’s family because he would not live to see them. That sweet little girl kept asking him questions and he committed to be with them every day. He became the Gma’s son and became father to Nian. It was not the family he had planned, but it was the family that needed him. He looked after them well for as long as they were under his care.

Emancipation

Yibo has mortgaged the house and new debt collectors are planning to tear it down. Tang decides to give him the deed. When Xun asks her why and she says he’s worth more.❤️ His eyes, so beautifully expressed the astonishment and appreciation that someone thought he had value. In 2026 Heitang was found submerged in water. Cheng immediately thinks it’s Nian’s dad. There is a picture of a man in the car with her. But nobody knows who he is. Tang makes her dad a deal he can’t refuse. He grants her emancipation from him with signature and fingerprint contract, and she gives him deed to house. She leaves it all except Gma’s ashes and her books. At school, gossiper has student petition to expel Xun. I love how she takes every point they wanted to accuse him of and she told them to step forward to accuse him. Everybody stayed planted in their seats. She congratulated them on knowing right from wrong.😝 She then gets in chubby’s face and tells him who really is the bully and disturber of studies. His hissy fit.😝 Xun buys her clothes and watching Hao bargain is funny. He gets the spotted dress for his girl and she looks very pretty. They have an opening celebration for their billiards place and took lots of cute pictures.🥰 Xun and Tang have fun in the rain. 😁 I love Nian’s pregnant friend. She is a wonderful character. She does everything Nian asked even if she doesn’t understand why. At the police station in Pushui they are questioning Nian about her dad. They know her birth is after her father died They got a fingerprint from her house that belonged to Xun. He was arrested for involuntary manslaughter in 1991 and in jail for 13 years. In 1991 Bao and his thugs have come to the billiards place and claimed it as theirs. Next episode is going to be bad for them 🫣😬😢Tang finds the response to their letter buried in the bin where her manager put it.

Exchanging letters

This episode tells us som ofYibo’s history. He drove his wife away with his jealousy and abuse. She escaped by stealing the factory’s funds where they both worked and left Tang there with him. He was held accountable for the debt and that started his gambling habit. The more frustrated he got the more violent he became. He is desperate for cash so he knocks Tang out and is going to fake her delusional mental state so she will be jailed in hospital and he can find the deed and sell the house. He says he will get her out when he gets the money.😝 I am annoyed the gma didn’t get them away, but it was her damn house. They should have got rid of him. It is hard to believe how much of a hero he painted himself to keep up his super dad appearance. I have more understanding why the teachers didn’t look into it better. She tried to convince people what he did to her. But he chalked it up to mental problems after her mom deserted her. It sounded so damn reasonable. I a, glad Xun pounded him. It’s probably gonna come back to bite him in the ass but they have a few days to get exam out of the way and some freedom. His face at geometry problems😂🤣This is funny because usually they make the girls bad at math. It is all sadness about these kids and their horrible parents. To leave a 4 yr old in the house to starve and just run away from home. They could have dropped him off somewhere. Hao is bearing the sins of his father but now I understand his reluctance with school. If miss judgmental had supported Chadong and stuck by him. All their fates might have been better. They saw the waterspout and wrote back to the future. Cheng wants to respond and writes a letter. When he returns and Mian asks about it, he says he has to go to Pushui because they found his mom. Glad I don’t have to wait for next episode because didn’t see that one coming.

Time traveling letters

Future and past both realize there is something going on with the mailbox and that cat and midnight are the requirement for letter transfer. Xun has had a chat with the teacher and asks her to visit Chadong. When she first starts talking I roll my eyes and like him wants to know if lecture or mocking on the menu.😝 it is not revealed how much she gave him, but she wants him to repair the shop and make honest money. She told him to stop hiding and stand up for himself. Here she shows candidly how she feels without the usual judgment in her tone. I find that I like her and understand her better. I am still disappointed she does not recognize what a louse Tang’s father is, but she is climbing in my estimation of her now. Nian and Cheng are cute in their tests with mailbox. Where Xun and Tang are sweet, these two are like Tom and Jerry fighting over every little thing.😂 He was probably too full of himself to check his mother’s cookie tin, but I think it will have train tickets too. It is funny how Nian challenges him to check all the rooms in her tiny house.😂 Even he starts seeing how ridiculous he is being. I like her interest in expanding items to see what can be mailed. What floors Cheng is when he is taking their stuff out of the box, Tang’s letter is inside. He is freaking out because it defies his scientific brain. 😂 Where gossip boy gets on my last nerve in 1991, I love the antics of the security guard in 2026. He helps keep the peace between the bickering couple camped out by his factory.😝 Nian answers Tang’s questions and gives them a test to prove letter from the future, 23 September there is a waterline incident that even causes a new name for the place. They have ten days to wait to see if this happens. On another note, Xun copies the love letter and compares the writing. He then takes it to Tang and asks her to compare them. The signature is a match and they both see that Xun has written this in the future. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

Gang conflict

After the beatings end Bao demands each boy gets a leg hurt. Dong gives Bao their boat money to spare them. He then lets a mob come in and trash the place after taking their money.🤬 While Xun is distracted by getting beat in Tang is caught trying to call him. Her father makes her kneel at Gma’s shrine and after fake whining wants the deed to the house to pay off the debt. She refused and they collide while she’s trying to save Gma’s ashes. The glass in her picture frame broke and Yibo goes in a hitting spree with her again. She knows Xu would show up so she checks his house to see what happened. She sees blood on the door and screams for him. He has the audacity to think that’s the cutest thing he’s seen all night.😝She helps with his wounds and he notices hers. He goes to the mahjong place and confronts her worthless father, and then more collectors come to pay him a call. He is seen packing a bag and fleeing. The next day Xun and Tang meet again and talk about her letter disappearing. They decide to do a stakeout for a few days. Nothing is happening and right when they give up the cat shows up and there’s a folded letter inside the box. In the future Nian and Cheng are talking to the security guy and nobody is convincing Cheng that her dad disappeared in thin air. While they are bickering the cat shows up. We don’t get to see what happened yet. Hao promises to protect his girl. He has a good heart but hopefully won’t be stupid again about fighting. He has cost them a lot with him trying to be galant.All he had to do was walk away. Hopefully he will next time. Dong promises the teacher Xun can go to school and wants him there. She means well, but she sticks her nose into things without really doing anything either. I have mixed feelings about her character. She should notice a child is getting beaten.😝 I am also really tired of chubby gossip. He is not comic relief, he’s damn annoying. At first I wondered if he was the security guard at the factory mailbox.😝 That would be him grown up 🤣

War has arrived

Once the will was changed, Mrs Zeng was on shopping spree celebrating. The child she once feared having is now the future apple of her eye. She hopes more money will come with a boy.😝 Si Yun and sis in law were offered necklaces but Si Yun refused. The sis in law teased to let her accept for her in future.😂 shortly after, she is taken to the hospital for bleeding. Mr Zeng first requests wife to be saved and then changes mind for child. The mother is 19 and the chances for preemie survival slim so Si Yun went against the father’s wishes and saved the mother. Zeng pulls a gun and disowns Cheng. Worthless brother wants to show up and tries to get Cheng and Dalun at a dinner to get in on Japanese trading. He is consistently a slimeball.😝Here I wish Si Yun would have slapped him more convincingly. Mr Dai has a conversation with Dalun about promotion. He values brain over brawn but if Dalun can get the communist med shipment, he still stood a chance for the position. Mr Gu meets with Cheng because his contact has been killed. They need to make other arrangements for sending medical supplies. Shen surprises Cheng in his office. He lets Cheng know that Mr Gu’s days are numbered and that torture would reveal any accomplices. He gives Cheng two tickets to Chongqing and tells him to leave with SiYun. He meets later with Si Yun in a church. He gives her a property deed and key for a house in Chongqing and asks to be allowed to visit in future. Mr Shen knows who he is and makes no apologies. His love for Si Yun is pure because he sees to her safety and happiness even with another. For all his flaws he loves her unconditionally. Dalun has a meeting with Sada and lets him know things will go much easier for Japanese if he gets the position instead of Shen. Shen is gunned down when leaving the church. Dalun goes to docks to find Cheng’s shipment but it isn’t there. Zeng kills his men but spares his son and tells him again no dealings with Japanese. Si Yun and Cheng see Mr. Gu off and it goes with the thought China would be better if more like Mr. Gu. It fast forwards to 1937 and war has started. Cheng and Si Yun did not leave and her hospital now helps wounded soldiers. It skips to a scene where Yi’s boyfriend is leading a squad into war. She wants to be part of it but he’s still encouraging her to continue education. Zeng has Cheng and Si Yun visit. He has learned Dalun bribed a young woman to put an abortion drug in his wife’s tea. Dalun admits it but that it was to save him. Dalun has continued his dealings and now placing mirrors in targets so Japanese pilots can see targets better. Cheng and men come in and Cheng has the shot but will not kill his brother. I am not sure what the significance of the red bands are on their sleeves. Zeng confronts Dalun who kneels before him. Zeng shoots his own son and drives away. Cheng is stunned and watches them drive off. I have no idea what will happen to Cheng and Si Yun, but there has been significant changes in who is in charge and to what extent. There is no description strong enough to convey the destruction to friends and family because of the various positions people have with their politics and careers. The cast and production did an excellent job of taking you to the 1930’s with the clothing, movies, vehicles, music, political views and Japanese invading. I am not sure if we will see more of Si Yun and Ao in the future, but I am hoping they survived the aftermath of the war. I think this arc is closing and heading to 1950’s.

Past and future collide

There is a reporter waiting in Cheng’s office with coffee ready. He informs him that the man they had arrested was Dalun’s guy. Cheng looks surprised at this. The reporter said he and Shen are on same side and Cheng denied it. The reporter laughed and said he wasn’t telling him the truth anymore. He lets Cheng know he will have a hard time trying to be neutral. Si Yun is in trouble with Mr Shen because she prescribed birth control to Mrs Shen. His retaliation resulted in the closing of her hospital. She could fight it in court but it would take months if not a year to get it back open. Mr Cheng gives her another option. There are pictures of him he would rather not be made public so they both agree to table his anger about the meds. Ao and Si Yun are becoming an official couple. They go to Mr Zeng’s bday party and he notes their hand holding and he lets them know he approves. The festivities are interrupted by a squad of policeman charging Zeng Dalun of dealing in opium. They have a search warrant to search the house. Opium is found on the premises and Dalun is brought in. When he gets out on bail he has a chat with Cheng where he said he learned he had filed the complaint. Cheng does not respond but waits for Shen to get in his office for them to have a chat. Shen reveals that he set up Dalun and used him as well. Cheng is outraged that Shen put him on the same side. He said there was a friendship until this matter but things have now changed. Dalun is trading with the Japanese and his father has caused strikes in the docks. He is told his father can play along and make money or get killed. Cheng meets with his father and lets him know he was not the one that filed the complaint. Dalun comes in and he and father have it out. His father is outraged he is dealing both in opium and with Japanese. Later Cheng goes to an old spot he and Dalun used to drink together, Dalun fesses up about his dealings and tries to get Cheng to go along. He tells him to let the communist stuff goes because that will get him killed and then goes on to tell him the benefits of Japanese products and cuisine. Cheng is outraged with him and says they are no longer brothers. After weighing matters, Mr Zeng calls Cheng in to rewrite his will. He now has his assets quartered rather than giving Dalun all of it. The winds of war are coming and the father is preparing. He wants both of his sons to survive and not kill each other. Hard lines are being drawn and they are all being divided by politics and beliefs or profit and opportunity.

Planning a charity event for disaster victims

This episode sees sides being taken…..anti-Japanese and anti-communist. They are polar and zealot in the defense of their own and their hatred of the other. Dalun is either undercover for the government working with the Japanese in opium market or dealing on his own. The lies fly from him so there is no way to tell from his speech, and his actions are as deceptive as his words. Cheng and Shen are playing word games with communist leaning articles in the paper. I don’t know which Shen values more his political career or Si Yun. He is quieter about it, but he is as obsessed with Si Yun as his sister is with Cheng. After the movies Cheng is going to take Si Yun out for some late night noodles and gets knifed instead. Fortunately, the family pocket watch saved him. Si Yun spends the night in the hospital watching over him. His pretense of injury trying to get her to wait on him. She immediately calls him on it and they have a chat about his pocket watch and the picture inside instead. Noticeably absent is his sidekick. Dalun visits him in the hospital. Dalun swears up and down he is dealing with a Chinese guy he owed a favor to and not Japanese. Cheng asks him to ask his guys about his sidekick. His main guy admits to taking care of him because of his communist leanings. Cheng feels just as strongly about dealings with Japanese. I am not sure what’s going to happen when it comes to a head I just hope they both survive it. The new pregnant mom wants an abortion. She came to Si Yun’s clinic and asked for one. She asked again when Si Yun was there to make a house call. Is Zeng holding her against her will? Why does she call him a monster and not want to carry his child? What secrets does the calm speaking father hold? The fact that she’s bleeding may mean she is desperate enough to try other means to lose the baby. Sidekick is found and pretty beat up. He is ready to head northeast since he failed his job. The henchman on Dalun’s side makes no apologies for his actions. Even after getting beat on he warns Dalun that if he does not handle what’s going on with Cheng, Shen will squash him like a bug. And with all this going on Si Yun and Ao are growing closer and working on how to transport medical supplies for Gu. Shen has quieted the one reporter pointing out the extra supplies and wanting to know where they were headed. I don’t think she knows the pro communist stance of Gu. Theses politics are very interwoven and messy. There are two different wars in the works and already many casualties on both sides. The internal and external threats are polarizing the people and leading to a big storm. I want all our favorite people to survive the fallout.

Spies like us

So now the new recruit wants to join a northeast volunteer army and Cheng supports it and asks Mr Gu to help the group make it there safely. In return Mr Gu wants a lot of medical supplies and hard to get equipment. Here is where he better not get Cheng and Si Yun killed for helping him. Ya know, I was too optimistic about Si Yun’s brother. I honestly thought there might be a liver of repentant human there, and then ya find out he has a pregnant wife upstairs who thinks he is wealthy and owns the hospital. She is acting like a spoiled brat so that ain’t helping.😝 The first wife is actually washing her feet. Sister gets her out of the room and daughter gives the tea about dear old dad.😝😂🥳 So they leave to cheaper pastures and the mom becomes a new medical recruit. Si Yun promises to train her. Not sure if as midwife or nurse, but she is a giver by nature so she will be a ray of sunshine no matter what job she ends up doing. The mom deserves the brat wife but since she’s pregnant she probably will gush over her rather than chastise son. Dalun is back and Shen tries to big brother him in the hall. Dalun resents it because he thinks Shen is a big phony and he really wants nothing to do with him. When he finds out who Dalun is working with under government contract he invites him to dinner and is refused. He talks Cheng into arranging it and they will have dinner that night. Cheng and Dalun both find out dad has a new pregnant wife. Dalun says is a brother because of pointy belly. 😂 I have no idea if this is more myth than fact, it’s just funny that he takes the time to believe it. The meal is a disaster when Dalun gets lippy and Shen calls in two MPs. Unfortunately things escalate and Shen orders them to kill him. So Cheng takes second gun to his head and tells him to order it. Shen doesn’t and Cheng and Dalun leave. Shen shows up with 2 fifths of something and starts drinking down the bottle. Cheng takes one long drink of bottle two and heads to the movies. He and Si Yun have figured out how to get the items but not how to transport them yet. I really don’t want them tangling with Dalun et al. They are given carte blanche with permission for lethal response. It is funny how Cheng tries to trick Si Yun into holding his hand. She calls him on it and teases his hand is sweaty. He takes his hand away and she grabs it. The episode ends with them both grinning and holding hands. 🥰

Fighting against the lies

Yibo thinks the cigarettes he saw was the boyfriend. He has no clue that they were from Bao’s guys looking for him. So this POS dad goes to school pretending Heitang stabbed him. I cheered when Xun punched him. He deserves so much more. He tricked the miserable principal into giving him more money. His fake tears should choke him.🤬 I want Bao’s guys to find him.😝 I am also tired of chubby gossip boy. In many ways he is kid version of the dad with his lies for attention and to be popular. 😝 Xun pays the school fund and both he and Tang defend each other fiercely. The teacher knows something is up but she is so convinced past behavior is Xun’s problem that she doesn’t get how horrid the dad really is. Here we learn Xun grew up in orphanage but still not made clear how the teacher knew him. Both Xun and Tang leave school for the day. Here I want to smack chubby for pretending it was a good thing. He is another pos in the making. 😝What is super cute is how Xun and Tang treat returning the money. The threat to accept or never speak again. Their friendship is rooted now. This gets Xun in trouble from every side. His collector boss beats him for getting involved with Tang and the other for hating Qiang. I grin because they have both found their gals and the boss hasn’t let that notion sink in. He knows how grey this is but to focus on IOU’s without focus on any asides makes the job easier. There can be no entanglement with families involved. I love Yu Nian’s pregnant friend.😂😁She takes on the demolition people right to their faces and dares them to deal with her.😂😁 Yu Nian is convinced she was supposed to find the letter but she has no clue where Meiwan Town is. She googles and Meiwan Town annexed to Pushui. Yu Nian travels to Pushui and has a cab take her to the police station in what was once Meiwan Town. She tries to track down Haitang, but is told only relatives can have access. The son who has arrived home to find his mom gone and her car parked in a remote mountain lot is looking for her and is made aware someone was also looking for her. The two meet and it is instant sparks.😂 They each think the other has done something bad to their parent and refuse to believe the other is being truthful. Their bickering is fun, especially when the cop tries to tell them their parents may be taking care of personal matters they don’t want their children to know about.😂 It does not cross their minds that their parents might really know each other and have a history. I wish he would have opened the cookie tin at Tang’s house to see what was inside. They are going to stay together until the parents are found. Back in 1991 Tang realizes her letter isn’t in the mailbox. She tries to call Xun but the two gang groups are being ‘disciplined’ by their leaders. I am annoyed that the younger guys are getting beaten more but their boss knows he has no choice with Bao right there overseeing things.

Bullies everywhere

Yi Bo gets his daughter home where he steals her earnings, steals the class fund, and beats her. She has had enough. She writes her gma an apology letter which she puts in red mailbox. She bows an apology and steps out with determination to find her father and end things. She takes a knife to the local gambling place where she has every intention of killing her father and then herself. She is stopped by the new kid , Xun, and really resents it. He calms her down and gets her home to discover Bao’s guys have already been there. He takes her to his place instead. He buys her some essentials and food and goes off to billiard place where he teases Hao about crush. Hao leaves to get her some noodles and more of Bao’s guys are there mocking the lame girl. He should have just left, but they goaded him into a fight where he is badly beaten and his noodles wasted on jerk’s head. The police now think Tang is a mental case because that was the easiest story for her father to spin. I am glad he was asked questions about frequenting mahjong place😝 There is a montage of the three suffering from various wounds and the sweet girl that changes movies smiling over his snack. In the present Yu Nian is still looking for her father, Yu Zhi Hong. This time when she sees the security guard he has a suicide letter that a;peared in the red mailbox. He thinks the mailbox is cursed and she knows her father was waiting for the letter. She stuffs it in her pocket and goes home but her father has removed everything in house that would identify him. All the meds were gone and nothing identifying him was there. At the police station she runs a check with her ID. But here is where gets strange. The man that comes up as her father died in prison 20 years ago. She has no explanation and the only discovery she has made is a bunch of train tickets to a place she has never heard of and a postcard that has the same signature as the letter in her pocket.

Red mailbox / red cat

The story begins with an older man waiting by a red mailbox. There is a red cat close by. It wakes up the security guard. The old man is kicked out but insists on sending letters from here. He ends up missing and the daughter has a chat with the security guard. He says that after her father put the letter in the mailbox he just disappeared. She doesn’t believe him. A young girl with a knife is apologizing to her gma in a letter that is put in that box. There is also a group of three debt collectors that get involved because Ye Yibo did not pay gambling debt. It is the 7th day of mourning for her gma so they take her gma’s money and call it a day. She has words with one of them. Contrary to the job he just did, he helps an old man with his cart that includes a red cat. They do not like the gang boss over them and are very close to having the money they need for a boat. This is their primary objective. The three want out of the ‘collecting’ business and want a legitimate job. The girl works in a stationary/ postcard shop and is asked to do a campaign for them. She titles it writing to yourself in the future. The same old man and cart walk by her and asks for some boxes. She helps him and pets the cat. His cart has the red mailbox on it. The next day the red mailbox is parked outside the shop with a letter for her inside. Her teacher turns out to be related to one of the debt collectors that is now in her home room class. They have words where she wants her gma’s money back and he tells her that her father should pay his gambling debts. The letter inside the red mailbox was a love letter of sorts from the new guy in class. Her debt collector. It is read aloud and a fight breaks out. They both find themselves in the office with her dad. The teacher isn’t aware that the father is scum, but the daughter and new student well aware. He acts like he is a concerned father, but her looks and cringing says it all. The boy rescues the crumbled letter from the mailbox and begins to read when the episode ends. The music is very good. I especially liked the Jiu Lian Zhen Ren song ‘Don’t bully the youngsters’. There is a time gap with the letters from 1991 when the girl writes to 2026 when the old man writes. Interestingly, the cat is in both times along with the mailbox.
