Back in Hong Kong, Mr. Mantang wakes up to find that his daughter, Madame Mantang, has gone to the funeral of her dead mother. The two of them are now joined by the teacher, who introduces himself as "Shiguang" , or "teacher." He tells the girl that he has arranged for her to go to the church with a "handsome asian guy" . The girl's name is "Xiao," and she is very excited to meet her new friend. She asks the teacher if he knows how big the city is, and the teacher tells her that it once belonged to the wealthy Mantang family, but now it belongs to a "capitalist family's English power." The teacher asks if Miss Hua is still staying in her room, and she replies that she was staying there when she first came to the city, but that her father took her to another hotel the day before. The teacher wonders if the two men are talking about "manman," and he wonders if alain has done something disrespectful. He also wonders if Madame Man-tang has replied to his questions.
