00:01:21,681 --> 00:01:23,866
This is the valley of Ling...

2
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:27,741
...as it was in the early summer of 1937.

3
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:31,073
The people who lived here were farmers.

4
00:01:31,624 --> 00:01:35,538
They'd heard there was a world beyond
the hills that bounded their little valley...

5
00:01:36,262 --> 00:01:39,687
...but as yet, no one had climbed
those hills to see for himself.

00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:43,837
Perhaps it is because
they were more fortunate than most.

00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:47,804
The land was rich,
and their bellies were full.

00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:51,183
On this farm, lived Ling Tan
and his family.

9
00:01:51,744 --> 00:01:53,815
And they were among the most fortunate.
