Wang Daxian...
[02:10] ---
I haven't heard of the name for decades.
[02:13] ---
Do you know him?
[02:15] ---
Here is water.
[02:18] ---
Amitabha. Thank you, Xiaoniu.
[02:22] ---
A friend of mine is Wang Daxian's relative.
[02:24] ---
He asked us to come for a visit
[02:25] ---
when knowing we'd pass by Lizhou City.
[02:28] ---
The boy lives in Wang Village.
[02:30] ---
His father is Wang Daxian.
[02:35] ---
Wang Daxian was really something before.
[02:39] ---
He could cure the sick and defeat fairies.
[02:42] ---
He helped many villagers here.
[02:47] ---
But he died at an early age.
[02:50] ---
His wife and son had a hard time.
[02:54] ---
Is his son still living here?
[02:57] ---
No, he is gone.
[02:59] ---
He's gone?
[03:01] ---
If I miss her some day,
[03:03] ---
I'll ask you to send a letter to her.
[03:05] ---
Now we've got a deal.
[03:06] ---
Come meet me at Jinghua Marsh.
[03:08] ---
I'll wait for you.
[03:10] ---
OK.
[03:14] ---
So...
[03:15] ---
Do you know
[03:17] ---
where Xiao Yu went?
[03:19] ---
Xiao Yu?
[03:21] ---
Oh...
[03:23] ---
I remember a girl named Xiao Yu.
[03:25] ---
But her family moved to
the north a long time ago.
[03:28] ---
I heard she married to
a high-ranking official,
[03:30] ---
and they had several kids together.
[03:34] ---
What a shame!
[03:35] ---
The god of destiny makes fools of people.
[03:38] ---
Seems we can't find them.
[03:42] ---
Madam Wang, is Wang
Daxian's house still here?
[03:44] ---
I want to pay a visit.
[03:47] ---
It is.
[03:49] ---
Are you looking for something particular?
[03:52] ---
Yes.
[03:55] ---
Whether I can find it or not,
[03:57] ---
I can give my friend an explanation.
[04:01] ---
Xiaoniu, search under my bed.
[04:04] ---
Take the books out of the old wooden box.
[04:06] ---
OK.
[04:08] ---
The house was cleaned up.
[04:10] ---
But before Mrs. Wang left,
[04:12] ---
she had brought me some books of her son's.
[04:15] ---
My kids don't know how to read.
[04:17] ---
So I've never shown the books to them.
[04:22] ---
Miss.
[04:23] ---
All of the books are here.
[04:25] ---
Thank you.
[04:36] ---
What is this?
[04:51] ---
Madam Wang.
[04:52] ---
May I take the dairy with me?
[04:58] ---
Tao Yao,
[05:00] ---
are we leaving Lizhou City like this?
[05:03] ---
What else could we do?
[05:04] ---
No one wants to live in the mire.
[05:06] ---
But you only gave Marsh Fairy the diary
[05:09] ---
without writing the real prescription.
[05:18] ---
Habit cures habit.
[05:21] ---
Moreover,
[05:24] ---
the diary
[05:25] ---
is good enough to be the
prescription to save his life.
[05:30] ---
People think fairies are omnipotent.
[05:33] ---
But they don't know
[05:35] ---
some fairies are capable of nothing.
[05:39] ---
They can't even beat loach spirits.
[05:42] ---
However, they're willing to
keep a promise for a lifetime
[05:45] ---
regardless of the cost.
[05:53] ---
Humph.
[05:54] ---
How silly they are!
[05:56] ---
No wonder they will die easily.
[05:59] ---
Just like you.
[06:04] ---
Tao Yao,
[06:06] ---
would Marsh Fairy
[06:08] ---
have kept his promise
[06:10] ---
if he had known it a long time ago?
[06:14] ---
He would.
[06:17] ---
Maybe the silly fairies believe
[06:20] ---
what they are meant to do
[06:22] ---
is to keep their words.
[06:26] ---
On October 7th,
[06:27] ---
My dad brought one more Marsh Fairy home.
[06:30] ---
Now we have eight of them.
[06:35] ---
Dad said
[06:36] ---
all of them were born in water.
[06:57] ---
Kiddo.
[06:58] ---
Why are you staring at me?
[07:01] ---
Dad, Dad!
[07:03] ---
This Marsh Fairy looks so weird.
[07:07] ---
Marsh Fairy,
[07:09] ---
don't play tricks on him.
[07:10] ---
Kiddo, I'm your father's friend.
[07:13] ---
So you should address me
as "Uncle Marsh Fairy".
[07:19] ---
Uncle...
[07:20] ---
...Marsh Fairy.
[07:27] ---
Dad,
[07:28] ---
what are we doing at Jinghua Marsh?
[07:33] ---
Sit down.
[07:37] ---
Kiddo,
[07:39] ---
do you remember the article
I asked you to memorize?
[07:42] ---
Yes, I do.
[07:44] ---
Guan Zhong wrote in his
article "Water and Earth":
[07:47] ---
"Marsh Fairies are born in places
[07:49] ---
where crops thrive and water doesn't dry up."
[07:51] ---
Exactly.
[07:52] ---
Jinghua Marsh gathers the
essence of Heaven and Earth.
[07:54] ---
So a lot of fairies are born here.
[07:57] ---
The Marsh Fairy I brought home
[07:58] ---
was born in the marsh.
[08:01] ---
But... Xiao Yu and I hang out here often.
[08:04] ---
Why haven't we seen any Marsh Fairy?
[08:08] ---
Marsh Fairies
[08:10] ---
hide themselves in water.
[08:12] ---
Only when humans shout out their names,
[08:14] ---
they can turn into human shapes from nothing.
[08:17] ---
Since there are wars everywhere
and all places have dried up,
[08:20] ---
it's really difficult
[08:21] ---
to find Marsh Fairies.
[08:23] ---
If you're fortunate enough
to meet one of them,
[08:26] ---
remember to keep it with you.
[08:28] ---
They are cash cows for us.
[08:31] ---
OK, I'll remember it.
[08:39] ---
On November 2nd.
[08:41] ---
Dad asked Marsh Fairies to deliver letters.
[08:46] ---
My dad is a witch doctor in the village.
[08:48] ---
We call him "the living god".
[08:51] ---
My family members make a living by doing it.
[08:53] ---
So I hope I can inherit it as my career.
[08:57] ---
However, I was born in poor health.
[08:59] ---
Dad doesn't want to teach me witchcraft.
[09:03] ---
But he's willing to teach me everything
[09:05] ---
about Marsh Fairies.
[09:07] ---
He tells me we will make a good living
[09:10] ---
if we can make Marsh Fairies work for us.
[09:13] ---
The childe is in the capital
city, which is 1,000 miles away.
[09:16] ---
We'll reward you if the letter
can be delivered in 3 days.
[09:20] ---
Consider it's done.
[09:22] ---
If I do some witchcraft,
[09:24] ---
the letter will be delivered today.
[09:28] ---
See? Time to give full play to my talents.
[09:32] ---
Marsh Fairy.
[09:34] ---
Traveling 1,000 miles a day
is our greatest strength.
[09:38] ---
I promised your father I'd
deliver letters for him.
[09:40] ---
Now comes my show time.
[09:45] ---
I saw the view of Marsh Fairy's back.
[09:48] ---
Seemed he was very happy.
[09:50] ---
I watched him disappearing in the rain.
[09:58] ---
On that night,
[09:59] ---
the rain got heavier and heavier.
[10:02] ---
Marsh Fairy came back by then.
[10:20] ---
The letter is delivered.
[10:40] ---
Let's go.
[10:42] ---
We'll bury him somewhere.
[10:56] ---
Dad...
[10:58] ---
Could we
[10:59] ---
save his life?
[11:01] ---
Marsh Fairies are good at traveling.
[11:04] ---
They'll be OK if they
travel at a normal speed.
[11:06] ---
But when they travel at the fastest speed,
[11:09] ---
no one can ever save them.
[11:13] ---
What if
[11:15] ---
we can get more of them!
[11:18] ---
Do they ever know
[11:20] ---
they will die from this?
[11:23] ---
They are silly fairies.
[11:25] ---
So they don't know about it.
[11:28] ---
Everything is mortal.
[11:29] ---
You don't need to feel sad.
[11:31] ---
Let's go home.
[11:32] ---
Keep yourself warm since you
are prone to catch a cold.
[11:37] ---
Dad always said
[11:39] ---
everything was mortal
[11:41] ---
and death awaited all men.
[11:44] ---
But I never expected
[11:46] ---
he would get sick
[11:48] ---
so soon.
[11:51] ---
He applied his witchcraft all the time.
[11:53] ---
So he got punished eventually.
[11:55] ---
I guess
[11:57] ---
maybe it's his fate.
[12:03] ---
On June 8th.
[12:05] ---
It's the third year since my dad passed away.
[12:09] ---
After I had paid my respects to him,
[12:11] ---
I went to Jinghua Marsh unknowingly.
[12:21] ---
Jinghua Marsh gathers the
essence of Heaven and Earth.
[12:23] ---
So a lot of fairies are born here.
[12:25] ---
The Marsh Fairy I brought home
[12:27] ---
was born in the marsh.
[12:30] ---
If you're fortunate enough
to meet one of them,
[12:32] ---
remember to keep it with you.
[12:35] ---
Marsh Fairy!
[12:38] ---
Marsh Fairy!
[12:41] ---
Marsh Fairy!
[12:49] ---
It didn't work.
[13:02] ---
Marsh Fairy!
[13:04] ---
Child, were you looking for me?
[13:08] ---
Yes, yes.
[13:09] ---
That was me.
[13:10] ---
It's true that
[13:11] ---
Marsh Fairies are born in water.
[13:17] ---
Yes.
[13:18] ---
I was drifting under Jinghua
Marsh for a long time.
[13:20] ---
If it hadn't been you,
[13:22] ---
I couldn't have come up here.
[13:23] ---
Thank you very much.
[13:27] ---
You look like...
[13:30] ---
Like what?
[13:33] ---
Nothing.
[13:37] ---
You must have been bored when
being stuck in the water.
[13:40] ---
Since you've turned into the human shape,
[13:41] ---
why not leave for somewhere else?
[13:44] ---
No, I can't.
[13:45] ---
Since you've called me out,
[13:47] ---
I'll have to deliver a letter for you.
[13:50] ---
Though I'm short,
[13:51] ---
I can travel 1,000 miles
and come back in one day.
[13:55] ---
I'm pretty awesome!
[13:57] ---
Traveling 1,000 miles a day
is our greatest strength.
[14:01] ---
I promised your father I'd
deliver letters for him.
[14:04] ---
Now comes my show time.
[14:07] ---
But...
[14:09] ---
I don't have anyone to write a letter to.
[14:12] ---
Maybe you'll have such a friend one day.
[14:14] ---
It's OK. I'll wait till that day.
[14:19] ---
In the following two years,
[14:20] ---
Marsh Fairy
[14:22] ---
was waiting for me at Jinghua Marsh.
[14:24] ---
But I didn't ask him to
deliver letters for me
[14:27] ---
or tell anyone else about him.
[14:31] ---
When I had some time,
[14:32] ---
I'd visit him at Jinghua Marsh.
[14:35] ---
We laughed at funny things together.
[14:37] ---
We shared food together.
[14:40] ---
And we enjoyed the starry night together.
[14:43] ---
I didn't remember when
[14:45] ---
we became close friends who kept
no secrets from each other.
[14:48] ---
I even told him
[14:51] ---
I had feelings for Xiao Yu.
[14:54] ---
I thought that
[14:56] ---
the happy time we had
[14:58] ---
would last forever.
[15:01] ---
Till that day.
[15:03] ---
I remember it was March 22nd.
[15:05] ---
Xiao Yu left.
[15:16] ---
Xiao Yu left.
[15:20] ---
After seeing her off,
[15:22] ---
I sat at Jinghua Marsh for the whole night.
[15:26] ---
I know that
[15:27] ---
she has feelings for me, too.
[15:29] ---
If I had asked her to stay,
[15:31] ---
she would have done it for me.
[15:34] ---
But...
[15:35] ---
For her,
[15:37] ---
leaving here is the best choice.
[15:44] ---
Because my mom told me
[15:45] ---
someone revenged on my dad
when she was pregnant with me.
[15:50] ---
I was cursed by my dad's foe.
[15:52] ---
So I may die at the age of 14.
[15:55] ---
Whenever I thought of it,
[15:57] ---
I couldn't ask her
[15:59] ---
to stay here for me.
[16:03] ---
I should let her go.
[16:05] ---
If I could live longer than 14 years,
[16:08] ---
I'd go look for her.
[16:12] ---
On December 20th.
[16:14] ---
Now I'm taking more and more medicines.
[16:16] ---
But my condition is getting worse and worse.
[16:19] ---
I'm 14 now.
[16:21] ---
Maybe I can't survive
the winter of this year.
[16:37] ---
Take care.
[17:04] ---
At any time,
[17:05] ---
if you ask me to come back,
[17:07] ---
I'll return no matter how far away I am.
[17:17] ---
Xiao Yu.
[17:18] ---
Xiao Yu.
[17:19] ---
Don't go, please.
[17:21] ---
Be with me,
[17:22] ---
OK?
[17:25] ---
I love you.
[17:34] ---
I love you, too.
[17:35] ---
I love you.
[17:37] ---
I love you very much.
[17:42] ---
Xiao...
[17:43] ---
Yu...
[17:46] ---
I really...
[17:47] ---
...want to see you again.
[17:51] ---
If Marsh Fairy was here,
[17:53] ---
he'd ask Xiao Yu to come back.
[17:56] ---
I'm wondering
[17:58] ---
if he's still waiting
for me at Jinghua Marsh.
[18:03] ---
But when they travel at the fastest speed,
[18:06] ---
no one can ever save them.
[18:11] ---
Forget it.
[18:14] ---
It won't work if I ask
him to deliver a letter.
[18:18] ---
Besides,
[18:20] ---
Marsh Fairy's life matters.
[18:24] ---
Marsh Fairy.
[18:26] ---
You little silly fairy.
[18:29] ---
You must have forgotten about our deal.
[18:32] ---
Maybe
[18:35] ---
you'll forget me soon.
[18:59] ---
It's true that
[19:01] ---
he'll never come back.
[19:06] ---
Marsh Fairy.
[19:08] ---
I'll leave soon.
[19:10] ---
Don't you want to deliver
a letter to Xiao Yu?
[19:12] ---
No.
[19:16] ---
My mom has arranged me to pick
up some carpentry skills.
[19:19] ---
So...
[19:20] ---
I can't visit you often in the future.
[19:23] ---
I got it.
[19:25] ---
But I'll help you whenever
you want to deliver a letter.
[19:28] ---
I'll do it as fast as I can.
[19:35] ---
What happened?
[19:39] ---
Thank you.
[19:45] ---
Now your life belongs to me.
[19:48] ---
Without my permission,
[19:49] ---
you can't deliver letters for others.
[19:52] ---
The human world is much
bigger than Jinghua Marsh.
[19:54] ---
You can go anywhere you want.
[19:56] ---
You must have been bored when
being stuck in the water.
[19:59] ---
Since you've turned into the human shape,
[20:01] ---
why not leave for somewhere else?
[20:06] ---
I think...
[20:07] ---
I can go somewhere else.
[20:11] ---
In this life,
[20:13] ---
you didn't take my life.
[20:16] ---
I didn't break my promise.
[20:18] ---
We have no regrets left.
