[00:02] ---
    In Huanming Mount, lives a
    bird the size of a sparrow,
[00:05] ---
    with brilliant yellow feathers
    and melodious singing.
[00:08] ---
    The bird spits gold scraps
    named Shujin (spitting gold).
[00:12] ---
    The world views it as a good omen.
[00:16] ---
    What a shame.
[00:17] ---
    For what?
[00:20] ---
    I can't save it.
[00:22] ---
    How come! You are the doctor with magic!
[00:25] ---
    This bird isn't ill. It's just too old,
[00:27] ---
    that's not curable.
[00:29] ---
    Fortuitous for it to transform into a fairy.
[00:32] ---
    It could have had a thousand-year life,
[00:34] ---
    but the whim to possess the
    corpse closed that door.
[00:36] ---
    It's lucky to have made
    it through the 7 years.
[00:39] ---
    You'd better get the incense prepared.
[00:42] ---
    Is it really a goner...
[00:44] ---
    Don't get too upset.
[00:47] ---
    The last gold it spit all
    went into your pocket.
[00:49] ---
    Let's go, monk.
[00:53] ---
    No,
[00:54] ---
    you must have a way.
[00:56] ---
    Oy,
[00:57] ---
    I am not God,
[00:59] ---
    I can not bring the bird back from the dead.
[01:01] ---
    Will you bring these two back from the dead?
[01:09] ---
    Tummy...
[01:10] ---
    my tummy hurts so bad...
[01:12] ---
    How did it go?
[01:13] ---
    Are you content with the pastries?
[01:14] ---
    You...You poisoned us...?
[01:18] ---
    I told you
[01:20] ---
    not to eat anything this man gives.
[01:22] ---
    He's a freak that burns people
    if he can't cut a deal.
[01:26] ---
    That's exaggerated!
[01:31] ---
    Tao Yao,
[01:32] ---
    you might leave me to die, but save Pissy...
[01:35] ---
    Hold up!
[01:36] ---
    He would be doing me a big favor
[01:38] ---
    to get rid of both of you.
[01:50] ---
    The young monk cannot die
[01:52] ---
    without my permission.
[01:54] ---
    Otherwise,
[01:55] ---
    you know the consequences.
[01:58] ---
    Put up or shut up!
[02:02] ---
    There he is...
[02:04] ---
    It's your business.
[02:14] ---
    Toilet...
[02:15] ---
    Toilet...
[02:17] ---
    Over there.
[02:20] ---
    What on earth did you feed them?
[02:23] ---
    New poison,
[02:25] ---
    with unknown side effects...
[02:27] ---
    Hey,
[02:29] ---
    are you really going watch it die?
[02:32] ---
    Just a prescription. I have no misgivings.
[02:36] ---
    Can you really bring it around?
[02:37] ---
    Don't get too hyped.
[02:38] ---
    I am not the one to blame
[02:41] ---
    if it still dies of old age.
[02:46] ---
    You have my word.
[02:48] ---
    Toilet...
[02:49] ---
    where is the toilet?
[02:52] ---
    The heart is the beginning
    of all the ailments.
[02:55] ---
    I need to know what happened to it.
[02:59] ---
    Haven't I told you already?
[03:01] ---
    No,
[03:03] ---
    I need it to tell me itself.
[03:06] ---
    One knot of the mind is tied,
[03:08] ---
    thousands more are to be tied.
[03:18] ---
    Untie the knots and leave it behind,
[03:21] ---
    you will embrace a new life...
[03:26] ---
    Tell me
[03:27] ---
    what are the knots in your mind.

[05:10] ---
    I am a bird that spits gold.
[05:13] ---
    People are euphoric at the sight of me.
[05:16] ---
    I like their smiles
[05:19] ---
    so I always spit gold for them.
[05:22] ---
    But then I found that
[05:25] ---
    they smiled less
[05:27] ---
    as I spit more gold.
[05:30] ---
    The book says
[05:32] ---
    the sight of me is a good omen.
[05:34] ---
    But I feel like
[05:37] ---
    I brought
[05:38] ---
    only conflicts and death.
[05:42] ---
    I don't get it.
[05:44] ---
    If gold doesn't bring happiness,
[05:46] ---
    what does?
[05:50] ---
    So I left,
[05:53] ---
    flying far away,
[05:56] ---
    but the places ain't much different.
[05:58] ---
    I've got no place to stay longer.
[06:03] ---
    Slowly,
[06:05] ---
    I get old,
[06:06] ---
    and rather weary.
[06:09] ---
    Then...
[06:11] ---
    I met her.
[06:15] ---
    It's a bird...
[06:19] ---
    Never seen a bird as such before.
[06:21] ---
    Are you injured or lost?
[06:25] ---
    Mom, it's still a fledgling.
[06:27] ---
    Why don't we keep it?
[06:30] ---
    Okay, you called the shot!
[06:32] ---
    That's the first time I saw such smiles
[06:36] ---
    warm,
[06:37] ---
    innocent...
[06:38] ---
    completely purified.
[06:41] ---
    I couldn't help wondering
[06:43] ---
    she's got no gold with her at all,
[06:45] ---
    why did she have such a smile?
[06:49] ---
    I wanted to know the answer.
[06:54] ---
    So I stayed with the family.
[06:57] ---
    They were Mrs. Zhu and her son,
[07:00] ---
    a 10-year-old schoolboy.
[07:02] ---
    The mother earned early
    bread by raising chickens.
[07:05] ---
    Low as her earnings were,
[07:06] ---
    she still managed to make livings.
[07:08] ---
    In their spare time,
[07:10] ---
    they often folded paper together.
[07:12] ---
    Mom, look.
[07:15] ---
    You already caught on to it?
[07:16] ---
    Way to go, Bao!
[07:17] ---
    Mom,
[07:18] ---
    can I fold something else now?
[07:20] ---
    Why not?
[07:21] ---
    What do you want?
[07:23] ---
    A peach blossom.
[07:27] ---
    Isn't this your favorite peach blossom?
[07:30] ---
    Where did you get this fun little doodad?
[07:33] ---
    Bao folded it.
[07:35] ---
    It's the gift for mother!
[07:36] ---
    Good going, Bao!
[07:38] ---
    Such a nice boy,
[07:41] ---
    you're blessed.
[07:42] ---
    Thank you Madam Zheng!
[07:44] ---
    Come on for some dumplings.
[07:46] ---
    It's the Winter Solstice Festival.
[07:47] ---
    The dumplings will dispel the cold.
[07:50] ---
    Bao bought some seafood dumplings
    from the Heavenly House earlier.
[07:54] ---
    They were so delicious!
[07:55] ---
    I will bring you some next time.
[07:57] ---
    Seafood dumplings?
[07:59] ---
    That'd be a delicacy.
[08:00] ---
    Quite so!
[08:02] ---
    He's earning money now,
[08:03] ---
    bringing all sorts of pricey stuff.
[08:06] ---
    Check out the cloak, made of mink cashmere.
[08:08] ---
    The handkerchief is silky,
[08:10] ---
    and the pattern
[08:12] ---
    is the same as in the royal palace.
[08:14] ---
    How thoughtful your son is.
[08:16] ---
    Mom,
[08:17] ---
    When I grow up
[08:18] ---
    I am gonna make a whole lot of money
[08:19] ---
    and buy you lots of stuff!
[08:22] ---
    What a boy you have!
[08:24] ---
    You are set for life!
[08:27] ---
    Yeah,
[08:28] ---
    yeah, yeah...
[08:32] ---
    The next couple of years
[08:34] ---
    remained uneventful for Mrs. Zhu,
[08:37] ---
    whereas Zhu Xiaobao began
    to work from dawn to dusk
[08:39] ---
    to support the family.
[08:41] ---
    Bit by bit, changes are
    brought to their home.
[08:45] ---
    The fence was substituted with a wall,
[08:47] ---
    the yard renovated
[08:49] ---
    with two more rooms
[08:55] ---
    and their life continued to get better.
[09:02] ---
    Yet
[09:04] ---
    the smiles were less seen
[09:07] ---
    on Mrs. Zhu's face.
[09:16] ---
    Mom, are you happy?
[09:19] ---
    Happy...Happy.
[09:24] ---
    The house is done great!
[09:26] ---
    Must have caused a fortune?
[09:28] ---
    Bao did a great job.
[09:30] ---
    Isn't Bao serving an apprenticeship
    with carpenter Zhang now?
[09:33] ---
    That's quite impressive for a young man!
[09:35] ---
    Ain't your son set to open
    a ready-made clothes shop?
[09:38] ---
    That is a true feat!
[09:41] ---
    That was him fiddling with ideas!
[09:43] ---
    All I am looking to
[09:44] ---
    is he get married and have children,
[09:46] ---
    so I could indulge in the domestic bliss!
[09:49] ---
    Mom! I am leaving!
[09:50] ---
    No lunch for me!
[09:52] ---
    How do you get along without lunch...
[10:11] ---
    Bao,
[10:12] ---
    it's late. Don't push yourself too hard.
[10:15] ---
    I'm okay. I am not sleepy.
[10:17] ---
    I will make more money than Mr. Zheng,
[10:19] ---
    so you will be happy.
[10:22] ---
    We ain't gonna need all that money!
[10:24] ---
    I am very happy now.
[10:38] ---
    Thereafter,
[10:40] ---
    they spent less time together.
[10:44] ---
    To kill time,
[10:45] ---
    She began folding paper alone.
[10:48] ---
    Xiaobao was born in the year of the pig
[10:50] ---
    so she folded dozens of pigs.
[10:52] ---
    And placed the one she liked most
    where people can see it easily.
[11:31] ---
    She's got big chunks of time alone at home
[11:34] ---
    with nobody to talk to.
[11:37] ---
    So she talked to the chicken coop.
[11:42] ---
    She was not all of chitchat
[11:45] ---
    but
[11:47] ---
    Xiaobao didn't pay her much attention.
[11:50] ---
    He's got something bigger.
[11:53] ---
    Mom, I am joining the army!
[11:58] ---
    I am going to the battleground
    and to win decorations.
[12:00] ---
    We'll live a good life when
    I get raised by his majesty.
[12:11] ---
    Take this.
[12:15] ---
    Tortoise?
[12:16] ---
    What for?
[12:31] ---
    Come back early...
[12:33] ---
    Several months passed
[12:35] ---
    no words had gotten from the frontline.
[12:40] ---
    She asked around
[12:42] ---
    and the consensus was that
[12:43] ---
    the odds were against them.
[12:51] ---
    For many nights
[12:53] ---
    she waited at the window,
[12:58] ---
    her warm and pure smiles
[13:01] ---
    were gone.
[13:08] ---
    I decided to bring Xiaobao back.
[13:19] ---
    The problem was not to turn him up.
[13:25] ---
    The problem was,
[13:34] ---
    he was already dead
[14:17] ---
    Tortoise?
[14:19] ---
    What for?
[14:21] ---
    It says
[14:22] ---
    with 999 folded tortoises
[14:25] ---
    the buddha will bring you back safely.
[14:29] ---
    You are not buying that!
[14:31] ---
    Bao,
[14:33] ---
    I am not praying for your
    name in the military.
[14:36] ---
    I am only praying for your return and safety,
[14:38] ---
    that's the thing really matters.
[14:49] ---
    Just now I went to sell eggs,
[14:51] ---
    broke two accidentally.
[14:53] ---
    What a day...
[14:56] ---
    Check it out.
[14:56] ---
    I can fold the plum
    blossom. How does it look?
[15:00] ---
    Will Xiaoao come home earlier today...
[15:04] ---
    Xiaobao,
[15:06] ---
    Xiaobao,
[15:08] ---
    Xiaobao,
[15:10] ---
    Xiaobao,
[15:20] ---
    Lately,
[15:21] ---
    I learned to write
[15:27] ---
    with Master Liu next door.
[15:30] ---
    He asked me what I would like to write.
[15:33] ---
    I said, 'Wish Xiaobao safety and happiness'.
[15:41] ---
    It dawned on me that,
[15:44] ---
    it takes no gold to bring true happiness,
[15:47] ---
    but...
[15:58] ---
    You are inviting death.
[15:59] ---
    Such witchcraft,
[16:01] ---
    you cannot handle it as an old fairy.
[16:04] ---
    It's contingent on
[16:05] ---
    whether you have the iron will.
[16:08] ---
    Remember that Madam Zheng
[16:11] ---
    I used to talk about?
[16:13] ---
    Her son runs a ready-made clothes shop,
[16:15] ---
    well-heeled.
[16:17] ---
    She's complimentary about her son,
[16:19] ---
    her daughter-in-law and the grandson.
[16:22] ---
    But then I found out
[16:24] ---
    she had been living on her own
[16:27] ---
    and her family never came.
[16:30] ---
    On a New Year's Eve,
[16:32] ---
    her son said he was coming.
[16:34] ---
    she prepared a full table of dishes
[16:36] ---
    and waited till the cows come home
[16:39] ---
    but her son never showed up.
[16:43] ---
    I don't want my mother to end up like that.
[16:46] ---
    She's not your mother.
[16:47] ---
    She's just a stranger.
[16:50] ---
    I know.
[16:53] ---
    The red glow on the gold is
[16:55] ---
    the sign of the end of your life.
[16:58] ---
    You strength is sapped in
    exchange for paper art for her.
[17:02] ---
    You are the dumbest fairy in the world.
[17:04] ---
    I am not a dumb.
[17:06] ---
    I bought something
[17:07] ---
    that is worth more than what I paid you.
[17:13] ---
    You didn't see how happy
    when she folded butterflies.
[17:16] ---
    The kind of smile glows
[17:20] ---
    when one is in true happiness.
[17:28] ---
    Snow is rare in Sichuan.
[17:30] ---
    The luck is on my side.
[17:34] ---
    Mr. Ye,
[17:35] ---
    I knew you were no ordinary man
[17:36] ---
    the first time I saw you.
[17:38] ---
    I didn't have enough practice
    to get the picture.
[17:41] ---
    Can you tell me,
[17:42] ---
    what exactly are you?
[17:44] ---
    I am just a man starting over.
[17:48] ---
    Nothing else
[17:49] ---
    matters.
[17:54] ---
    One last thing,
[17:56] ---
    please bury Xiaobao on my behalf,
[17:58] ---
    and burn him more joss paper.
[18:01] ---
    Thank you.
[18:10] ---
    Pissy?
[18:11] ---
    So much of eating
    irresponsibly, you heard me?
[18:14] ---
    Let me walk you out.
[18:16] ---
    Save it. We shall avoid future encounters.
[18:19] ---
    Shujin.
[18:23] ---
    Remember,
[18:24] ---
    you are my medication now.
[18:25] ---
    If I ask for a part of your body,
[18:27] ---
    you have to agree
    unconditionally. Understand?
[18:30] ---
    We had gone through that already.
[18:32] ---
    Can't I stress it again? It's critical!
[18:35] ---
    Alright.
[18:37] ---
    So where are you going next?
[18:40] ---
    Capital Bian, or other places.
[18:43] ---
    Tao Yao,
[18:44] ---
    is everything alright with Tao City?
[18:48] ---
    It's...It's fine!
[18:49] ---
    Tao City is always blessed
    with peace and harvest!
[18:54] ---
    Something is wrong with
    the Tao City, isn't it?
[18:57] ---
    Never mind.
[18:58] ---
    None of my business.
[19:00] ---
    It's a long journey to capital Bian.
[19:02] ---
    You haven't seen the dark side of the world.
[19:03] ---
    Watch your back.
[19:05] ---
    It's gonna be a long trek to Yingzhou too.
[19:07] ---
    The same goes for you.
[19:09] ---
    It could be the last Shujin bird.
[19:11] ---
    If it made it
[19:13] ---
    you would be the only man
    owning a Shujin bird.
[19:16] ---
    Does it spit gold anymore?
[19:19] ---
    You came all the extra mile
[19:20] ---
    only for its gold?
[19:22] ---
    Duh, what else?
[19:25] ---
    The way I see it. Somebody's blushed.
[19:28] ---
    I see the same on you.
[19:34] ---
    You wouldn't give a damn about
[19:35] ---
    who's going to die,
[19:38] ---
    including yourself.
[19:39] ---
    So what's happened this time around?
[19:42] ---
    I'm off!
[19:45] ---
    Have a nice day!
[20:00] ---
    In the Gailuo Lake
[20:02] ---
    lives tortoises that resemble rocks.
[20:04] ---
    Their brains are transparent like glass
[20:06] ---
    and if the Shujin bird eats it,
[20:08] ---
    its lifespan could be extended.
[20:12] ---
    We shall set off too.
[20:21] ---
    Mom...
[20:22] ---
    Look, Tao Yao.
[20:23] ---
    A funeral is going on over there.
[20:26] ---
    Mom...
[20:27] ---
    Mom...
[20:29] ---
    Don't leave us behind...
[20:31] ---
    Mom...Mom...
[20:32] ---
    They are...
[20:33] ---
    the ones Ye Fengjun kicked out the other day.
[20:38] ---
    It's Mr. Zheng of the
    ready-made clothes shop?
[20:40] ---
    I heard that his mother died of illness.
[20:42] ---
    Look at all the pomp.
[20:44] ---
    A full display of filial piety!
[20:45] ---
    Right on.
[20:46] ---
    All this pomp and filial affection
[20:48] ---
    are shows put on for the watchers,
[20:50] ---
