I asked them to pay two hundred yuan. They said they were standing on the street and did not enter the store! Isn't this unreasonable? You see it now.

Bolinken judged from his attacking posture that he would make this move, so he quickly turned back to the left, so Aaron's kicked foot just passed behind his head. While Bolinken turned around, he squatted down to support his body with his left leg, and his right leg rotated and kicked towards Aaron's right leg, and Aaron fell to the ground. Bolinken did not stand up but supported the ground with his hands to keep his center of gravity stable, and then swung his left leg to sweep the right foot of Ahu who was attacked at him from the left, so Ahu was also kicked and fell forward and fell to the ground. But Bolinken stretched his left hand to support him. They stood up, and the two brothers saluted Bolinken together.

She went out. Talitha quickly put on his work clothes and walked out.

INT. THE TENT HOSPITAL - DAY

GUO WENGIU （75）, an elderly Chinese man, some medical workers pushed him to come by a stretcher cart. He yelled and struggled and kept talking. But because of the phlegm in the lungs, what he said was vague.

GUO WENGUI

I don't want to stay in the doctor's, send me home! I must go home! I want to see my wife!

Talitha walked quickly to the side of the stretcher and took Guo Wengui's hand.

TALITHA

Your wife will see you soon, but you need to suck sputum first so that your wife can hear your speech. I will help you with phlegm, and then you will feel better.

Her gentle and nice voice made Guo Wengui a little calmer. He glanced at her. She was wearing a mask and the eyes behind the protective goggles were beautiful. He calmed down immediately, nodded, and looked at her. Suddenly, he ceaselessly coughed and Talitha raised his hand to signal the stretcher to stop. She looked at Guo Wengui, and he seemed to spit out a lot of phlegm in the mask. A nurse offered some paper towels, and Talitha helped him wipe his mouth clean. Suddenly, Guo Wengui coughed violently and sprayed sputum at Talitha. The nurse next to him was taken aback, but Talitha wiped his face calmly. Under her influence, the nurse helped her quickly sterilize and clean up the patient's dirt, and then Talitha signaled the nurse to quickly push him into a treatment room.

The people in the tent went in and out, each busy in a nervous and orderly manner.

Pompeo came here. In front, there was an old-fashioned ambulance parked.  TOM(66)is the driver,  he pulled hard the back door of the ambulance. Pompeo had a foreboding that he could get material for the photography.

Pompeo parked the car on the side of the street, then quickly took out the camera, put on a mask, and got out of the car, then stood on the side of the road and held up the camera to photography. Tom finally opened the door, and a male doctor, a female nurse, and two stretcher personnel got out of the car. The female nurse was holding a portable oxygen bag and the doctor was holding a portable pacemaker. Two stretcher personnel were holding a stretcher, and Tom and they hurriedly walked into a building. Pompeo took a few photos in a row. After that, he walked to the back of the ambulance and stood there looking at the stairs of the building. Behind him, another ambulance drove through the empty street, and the scream was shocking.

Tom, the doctor, and the two stretchers carrying a stretcher, slowly walked down the stairs, and slowly walked out of the door. Behind is a female nurse, behind her is a middle-aged man. Pompeo takes pictures continuously. When the stretcher was carried to the back of the ambulance, an elderly woman walked out of the stairs with trembling feet. She opened her mouth to say but could not say anything. She turned towards the ambulance, as if she was going to follow her husband, then she fell and sat on the ground. After photography in a row, Pompeo walked towards the old woman quickly. At this time, those people carried the stretcher onto the ambulance, and Tom hurriedly ran to the driver's cab.

Pompeo photographed Tom and the doctor carrying the stretcher. The doctor also held a portable pacemaker in his hand. Afterward, Pompeo slowly helped the old woman up, and then assisted her to walk into the stairs.

INT. THE STAIRS - DAY

Pompeo told the old woman to sit down. Her face was full of tears, but she was speechless.

POMPEO

Madam, it is safer for you to sit here.

The old woman nodded sadly. Pompeo walked out quickly.

EXT. C STREET OF NEW YORK - DAY

The ambulance had not started its engine, and Pompeo saw Tom jump out of the car and ran to the front of the car to lift the hood. Pompeo walked over quickly.

POMPEO

Sir, can I help you?

TOM

Yes！This car is going to be eliminated, but the ambulance is seriously insufficient and can only be used for continued use. I am a volunteer and lack experience. I shouldn’t stop the engine from running...

POMPEO

Understand. Just wait moment.

He hurried to drove his car to the front of the ambulance, then opened the car cover, connected the cable to the ambulance, and started the engine of the ambulance.

Tom stretched his head out the window and gave Pompeo a thumbs up. However, there was a loud cry from a man in the ambulance.

THAT MAN

Daddy! Daddy...

Pompeo holds the camera quickly got out of the car and ran towards the back door of the ambulance. The back door still could not be closed. He photographed the crying man; he photographed the doctors, nurses, and paramedics around the stretcher, and they were silent, but their expressions be grieved.

INT. THE 411 ROOM - NIGHT

This is a suite, on the fourth floor of the apartment. Pompeo opened the door and came in with his luggage. On the wall of the living room, there are some photography works of him making music. He put his luggage on the sofa, and then hung a photo frame on the wall. In the photo frame, he put a picture of Talitha. He looked at it and was very satisfied.

He went to open the glass door of the balcony. Outside the balcony, there are balconies on the left and right and the opposite side, showing that this apartment building is a square structure. Outside the first-floor balcony, there is 2,500-foot public ground space, and planted five big banyan trees with dense foliage, completely block the sight of the residents above the third floor very difficult from looking at each other, open the windows and walk to the balcony, only trees can be seen. He walked out of the balcony and did some exercises to relieve the muscle fatigue caused by driving for a long time.

After opening the balcony door, he walked back to the living room and opened the window door to let in the fresh air. At night outside the window, there are no neon lights. He saw the top of the Imperial Building in the distance. This evokes his memory:

FLASHBACK

INT. THE STREET - NIGHT

The neon lights are shining, a very bustling scene.

His mood suddenly became gloomy. At this time, the phone rang.

POMPEO

INT. THE ROOF GARDEN - NIGHT

This is a glass-house garden, planted many kinds of flowers, with an automatic constant temperature. Kariva is standing here, looking at the sky. At a table next to her, there was audio equipment, and Gullit was sitting the chair drinking tea. The stereo was playing a musical prelude to a song, she was brewing emotions and then sang to the music.

KARIVA

The quiet night is not calm for me, looking at the sky with many stars, the love in my heart, the stars tell you, the stars are twinkling...

Gullit listened attentively while drinking tea. Kariva finished the song and he clapped his palms.

GULLIT

Kariva, I think you have never sung so well before like tonight! If you used to sing as well as now, oh, your album is already playing.

KARIVA

I think I suddenly became the girl in that song... he was so far away from me. Gullit, I'm as melancholy as the girl in the song...

GULLIT

So, at this moment you are missing him. Before, you just wanted to have him, and you were upset and irritable.

Kariva nodded.

GULLIT (cont'd)

Kariva, I am willing to record for you for free, and then you pass it to Pompeo.

KARIVA

Gullit, I just want to hear your opinion: Did I make progress when I sang this song?

GULLIT

Yes, you have.

KARIVA

I am going to New York tomorrow. I don't know where Pompeo is, but I hope to find him and sing to him.

Gullit took out a mask and handed it to her.

GULLIT

You try.

Kariva put it on, Gullit looked at her.

GULLIT (cont'd)

How do you feel?

KARIVA

Also feel comfortable.

GULLIT

This is what I did. I will give you some.

Kariva looked at him suspiciously.

KARIVA

No! This is not what you did! Your hands are like mouse paws, and the synthesizer is like a cake. Your paws are only suitable for crawling on the synthesizer...

GULLIT

Swear in the name of Jesus: I did it! My finger almost by the needle piercing.

Kariva laughed, picked up a singing magazine with a portrait of Pompeo on the cover, and hit on his head.

KARIVA

You are stupid!

Gullit was sewing the mask and looked very skilled, and Kariva stood by and watched. Gullit shook the newly made mask to her.

GULLIT

I don't think I am stupid!

KARIVA

Yes! It's great. How did you learn?

GULLIT

Many aunts and grandmothers on the Internet are teaching how to sew masks. I went to buy a sewing machine. I know that our city is short of masks, and New York is particularly lacking. My mother was right, she says people need to help each other. I have made two hundred of them. My mother is better than me and she made masks more than three hundred. I know that New York now needs masks more than our city. Could you please help bring this to New York for the Charities?

KARIVA

Gullit, your mouse paw was almost pierced by a needle...

GULLIT

I'm stupid.

Kariva smiled, picked up a mask, and hit him on the head affectionately.

KARIVA

Mouse's paws can be made in many beautiful masks!

At this time, Gullit's mother, April, opened the door and walked in. Seeing this scene, she happy and hurriedly turned to walk away.

KARIVA (cont'd)

Gullit, thank you.

GULLIT

(Strange)

Why do you want to thank me?

KARIVA

I suddenly felt that I went to New York, except for Pompeo's reasons, I can also do some things, I can do like you.

Gullit thought for a while and nodded understanding.

Talitha nodded. suddenly. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, she saw a young man's head on the opposite balcony. The last light of the evening fell on his head. He was so familiar. She took a serious look, hoping to see his face. However, he quickly raised the camera, and it seemed to be shooting the scene below the building. This prevented her from clear seeing his face.

Talitha shook his head uncertainly.

NANCY (cont'd)

Kariva and Danne lift Adam, but she sees that Danne's car is too small.

KARIVA

I am winning glory for China! We want the Americans to kneel and plead with the Chinese government! Oh, I am a member of the Communist Party of China, I am so proud!

All the employees in the store stopped working and watched TV. Their expressions show their inner anger and hatred. Danne couldn't help but grabbed a soda bottle next to her and want to throw it to the TV. Bolinken grabbed her hand.

Kariva, like Pompeo, first went to open the glass door of the balcony, then went to the balcony to look at the surroundings, and then walked into the bedroom to open the window. Look out, the street is empty. She took out her mobile phone and dialed the number. When the call was connected, she deliberately changed her voice.
