Chapter 5 Act IV Equinox

The scene is the same as the first, second, and third acts, but the time has changed from winter to spring, which is between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m. on the vernal equinox of the Chinese lunar calendar, and in late March of the lunar calendar. There were only two people left in cell No. 11. Yu Sangong was sleeping on the diagonal side of the gate. Under the bleak fluorescent light, his face looked particularly lacking in blood.The faucet was already up, but the bedding was not rolled up, as if he was afraid that rolling up the bedding would disturb the sleep of the only roommate in the same room.Sleep is already the only gap to escape from reality, although that gap is often filled by nightmares.Longtou sits at the "desk" reading a book, and occasionally listens to the outside and looks inside. It seems that the time is unusual. He seems to be watching the night, or like a watchman, waiting for the dawn to come.But it was very quiet, everything was very quiet.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear a familiar yet unusual voice. He quickly stood up and rushed to the prison door.As he expected, the cell door clicked open.He quickly spread his arms, hands outward, blocking the door, obviously startling the Master Chief and the squad leaders.It is common for them to mention people early in the morning, but they have never encountered this form of "resisting arrest". Leader: (majestic, firm, yelling) Master Chief!Class monitors!stop!stop!stop! (Slow down the tone) This time, let me come, let me help Yu Sangong get dressed, let him walk freely, don't be so nervous, Yu Sangong is a hero, a hero is not afraid of death, don't embarrass him like this, don't make everyone ugly , Master Chief, you give the order!

(Looks at the Master Chief and smiles.) Master Chief: (Looked for a moment, thought for a while) Okay, let's do this, everyone stop!Just as the leader said, let Yu Sangong get dressed. Leader: Okay, all of you stand aside and watch! (Turning to Yu Sangong, Yu Sangong also stood up, with a resolute expression on his face) Sangong, I secretly prepared it a long time ago, it is this lynx fur "good fur" leather robe, I want you to wear it, Today is the vernal equinox of the lunar calendar, and it's still cold outside. The dragon head can't send Sangong by himself, so let the fur robe deliver it to you!Sangong, you are a hero, a hero, a hero, show your beauty to yourself, to the leader, and to everyone.Come on, put it on (pull open the leather robe and put it on for Sankyo).

Sankyo: Thank you for the leader. I am happy to enjoy the last wisdom and warmth in the world under the package of the leader.Longtou, you too, put on my jacket. Lead: Great, I'm wearing your jacket.The shackles will be taken off later, and you will walk up with great strides.Wash your face, brush your teeth and wash your face before leaving, with red lips and white teeth, and leave cleanly.Come on, put on your shoes again (help Sankyo put on your shoes). (Sankyo brushes his teeth and washes his face. Dragon head puts on Yu Sankyo's jacket.) Yu Sangong: (to the leader) Tell the Master Chief, wait a minute, don't be so tied up.When General Chen Yi was shot, he was treated preferentially and not bound.I haven't been a soldier for a day, but I want to ask for the treatment of a general.

Leader: (to Master Chief) Look, Master Chief, (laughs easily) The Communist Party is not afraid of death at all.What's more, it will break my ancestral leather robe. Master Chief: That's it, no tie, no tie. Squad leader: How can I not tie it? Master Chief: I'm in charge.I can see it, it's fine if you don't tie it up. Yu Sangong: Thank you, Master Chief, you let our Chinese Communist Party have the last dignity.You are not "propagating for bandits", nor "opening eyes for bandits", you are "releasing bandits". Master Chief: (Laughs) The Communist Party says they serve the people, and we are the people, serving the Communist Party today.We are bears, but we admire heroes.

Leader: Yu Sangong is really a hero! Master Chief; Wait a minute. There's wine and meat for breakfast, breakfast for heroes. Yu Sangong: No, I am a vegetarian from today, and I never drink alcohol. I want to be sober forever and not rely on alcohol for anesthesia.Sober, sober communists are better than drunk communists.Well, it's time to hit the road, dragon head, there is no next life to see you again.We live so boldly today, born as the people of the Kuomintang, and died as the ghosts of the Communist Party.I heard that the Communist Party, who is not afraid of death, still shouts slogans when they are dying. When I shout slogans at the execution ground later, it is meaningless to shout them to laymen. (Raising hands and clenched fists and shouting) Long live the Communist Party of China!Long live the Communist Party of China!China-country-communist-communist-party-thousand-year-old!

Leader: (Also raised his fist and shouted) Long live Yu Sangong!Long live Yu Sangong!Yu - three - total - ten thousand - years old! (The two hug each other, then the leader puts his arms around Sankyo's shoulders and sends him to the door, and the monitors automatically move out of the way.) (The cell door clicks shut again, the stage lights are suddenly extinguished, in the dark, but one or two gunshots are heard. The curtain falls.)
