Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu arrived at the police station, and the place had changed.

The original eagle-shaped building is still there, but the sign at the entrance has been changed to "Shanghai Special Municipality Police Bureau".

The two police officers on duty saw Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu approaching. One of them stopped them and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chow Yun-fat smiled and said, "Hello, comrade. We're from out of town and we're looking for someone named Stephen Chow. He's probably in his twenties and is tall and thin."

The police officer softened his tone. "Stephen Chow? That name sounds familiar. Oh, I remember now, isn't he the one with special abilities?"

Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu exchanged a glance and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's him. Where is he now?"

The policeman shook his head: "He's a great hero now. He fought the Japanese alongside Commander Lin and made many contributions. If you want to find him, you'll have to go to Beiping."

Chow Yun-fat was stunned: "Beiping?"

"Yes, Commander Lin has recovered Liaoning Province, and his troops are currently resting in Beiping. You can go there and look for them; you might be able to find them."

Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu looked at each other in bewilderment.

Liaoning Province is located outside the Great Wall, thousands of kilometers away.

They've just arrived in Shanghai, and now they're going to Liaoning Province?

If we don't go, we won't find Xingzai, and we won't be able to return to the future.

Chow Yun-fat sighed, turned to look at Lung Wu, and said, "Let's go to the Northeast."

Long Wu nodded, but asked another question: "But Brother Fa, how are we getting there? By train? Or...?"

He glanced back at the group of psychic experts. "Or perhaps we could have them open the time tunnel again?"

Chow Yun-fat shook his head. "I don't know. Let me find out first."

The two said goodbye to the police and walked to the roadside.

Several masters of special abilities followed behind them, some dressed in Taoist robes, some in Zhongshan suits, and some in Western suits, looking rather incongruous.

They too had traveled from the future and were equally unfamiliar with everything before them.

"Brother Fa, shall we go back?" a master asked.

"Of course I'll go back."

Chow Yun-fat said, "But we have to find Stephen Chow and the others first."

I found out that you can take a train to Northeast China from Shanghai North Station, but you need a travel permit.

You need to go to the police station to get a pass and you also need to have proof of identity.

Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu have nothing now; they are "illegal immigrants."

Just as he was worrying, a young man in military uniform walked over, carrying the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulder.

"Are you from Hong Kong?"

Chow Yun-fat paused for a moment, then nodded. "We're from Hong Kong."

"Are you looking for Stephen Chow?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

The young man smiled.

"Zhou Xingxing belongs to our Independent Regiment. You just went to the police station, and the officers have already called to verify. Come on, I'll take you to get your passes."

Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu were overjoyed, as their wish had been fulfilled. They followed the young man to the police station again.

With a military officer as a guarantor, the pass was issued quickly.

The next day, they boarded a train bound for Beiping.

The train was new, the carriages were clean, and the seats were comfortable.

The cities we passed through all displayed the flags of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the unfamiliar blue star flag.

The villagers were working in the fields, and the children were playing at the village entrance—a peaceful and harmonious scene.

Long Wu looked out the window, filled with emotion.

"Brother Fa, things have really changed. Look, this doesn't look like China in 1932 at all. It looks like a peaceful era."

Chow Yun-fat remained silent for a moment.

"Change is not necessarily a bad thing. In the past, the Chinese people suffered too much."

If it truly makes the country stronger sooner and the people live better lives sooner, what's wrong with change?

"But we still have to go back. If history changes, what will the world be like when we return? Will our family and friends still be there?"

Chow Yun-fat was speechless.

he does not know.

All he knew was that he had to find Xingzai first, and everything else could wait until he found Xingzai.

The train sped along the tracks.

As we get closer to the Northeast Plain, the answer is also drawing ever closer.

Three days later, the train arrived in Beiping.

As Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu stepped out of the station, the scene before them shocked them once again: wide streets, neat buildings, and shops bustling with people.

There is no post-war depression here; instead, it resembles a prosperous city.

A monument stands in the station square, inscribed with the words "Monument to the Restoration of the Three Provinces".

Flowers were laid out at the foot of the monument, and some people were observing a moment of silence while others were taking photos.

A middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit gave a speech in front of the monument, his voice loud and passionate.

A crowd of ordinary people surrounded him, applauding and cheering.

After listening for a moment, Chow Yun-fat whispered to Lung Wu, "They are commemorating the soldiers who died in battle."

Long Wu nodded. "They are very grateful to this unit."

I made some inquiries and found out that the headquarters of the Chinese Independent Brigade was located in the former Kwantung Army Headquarters building.

When Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu arrived, the soldiers on guard at the gate stopped them. This time, it was Stephen Chow who came to pick them up.

He was wearing a military uniform, with a pistol at his waist, and his skin was quite tanned. "Master, Long Wu."

Stephen Chow ran over, his face full of surprise, "What brings you all here?"

Chow Yun-fat looked at his military uniform and was momentarily speechless. "Sing, you...you're in the army?"

Zhou Xingxing scratched his head. "Yes, we're resting now, fighting the Japanese alongside Commander Lin."

Lung Wu asked, "Sing, do you know that history will be changed by you?"

Stephen Chow paused for a moment, then smiled calmly and said, "I know, but if history isn't changed, how much more suffering will those ordinary people have to endure?"

How many more of our compatriots will die?

I don't want to see massacres happen again, I don't want to see those tragedies, so..."

Chow Yun-fat waved his hand.

"Stop talking, I understand. We came to you to find out what happened and then figure out a way to get back."

Zhou Xingxing nodded and led them into the building.

In the lobby on the first floor, soldiers came and went, some working in offices and others carrying supplies.

Stephen Chow led them up to the second floor and to the door of an office. The door was open, and inside, a child was sitting behind a desk, looking at documents.

Eight years old, wearing a little suit, he was none other than Commander Lin in the newspaper photo.

"Commander, these are the Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu I told you about," Stephen Chow introduced.

Lin Tian looked up, sized up Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu, and smiled.

"God of Gamblers Ko Chun? I've heard so much about you."

Chow Yun-fat paused for a moment, looking at the eight-year-old child in front of him, unsure of how to address him.

"Hello, Commander Lin."

He reached out his hand, still wondering to himself that the child was too young, but he felt a strange sense of pressure.

Lin Tian shook hands with them and gestured for them to sit down. "Xingzai told me about you. You traveled from the future to find Xingzai and go back."

Chow Yun-fat nodded and got straight to the point: "Commander Lin, you have changed history. We don't know what the future world will be like."

We just want to take Xingzai back, back to our original world.

Lin Tian leaned back in his chair. "Changed? I don't think so. We were changing before you came. Has anything changed over there?"

This is just a parallel world, similar to the original one. Don't be so careless as to think it's the end of the world.

Chow Yun-fat and Lung Wu: ...

Chow Yun-fat was silent for a moment, then said, "But that's our world. Our family and friends are all there, and we can't stay here forever."

"We don't have the power to change the predetermined course of the world, but we can stay here and change this world. This place is called China."

I'm sure you've all read quite a few history books. Five thousand years of Chinese history can be covered in a single, thin volume, but modern and contemporary history is divided into two.

Lin Tian pointed out the window, "Our current situation will soon be over, and China will soon become strong. Don't you want to contribute to our motherland?"
