To Live (1994)

Deng Fei: Xu Youqing

Quotes 

• Xu Fugui : If Youqing does as daddy says, our lives will get better and better. Our family is like a little chicken. When it grows up, it becomes a goose and that will turn into a sheep. The sheep will turn into an ox.

  Xu Youqing : And after the ox?

  Xu Fugui : After the ox is Communism, and there will be dumplings and meat every day.

• Town Chief : We'll take these.

  Xu Jiazhen : If you take all our pots away, how will we cook?

  Town Chief : We're racing towards Communism, and you worry about food? We are setting up communal kitchens. When you're hungry... just come to the canteen. There'll be meat, fish. Nothing else to contribute?

  Xu Youqing : Yes, there is!

  Xu Fugui : But that's wood.

  Xu Youqing : There's metal on it. And here are pins.

  Xu Fugui : It can't be worth much.

  Town Chief : We are less politically aware than your son. It's enough for two bullets. We are just two bullets short of liberating Taiwan. So let's get that metal.
