Filmmaking
was introduced to
Âu Lạc (Vietnam)
at the end of 1890s.
It began to thrive in 1923
with the first movie
co-produced
by the French and
the Aulacese based
on the masterpiece
“The Tale of Kiều” by
literary great Nguyễn Du.
Embracing
the modern technology
of our world's civilization

Aulacese filmmaking

to develop to
enhance the nation's
cultural landscape.
On Enlightening

Supreme Master
Television is pleased

from Âu Lạc (Vietnam),
as well as from other
countries in the world,
in order to share the
beauty and cultures
of the peoples
on our planet.
The film
“A Woman’s Wits”
was adapted from
an Aulacese legend about
an intelligent woman
who encouraged
her husband to build
his career and cleverly
helped him preserve it.
We now invite you
to enjoy the film
“A Woman’s Wits,”

Good morning!
Greetings, sir.
Greetings, sir.
Greetings, sir.
O sir! O horseman!
You called me?
What a beautiful horse!
Oh, beautiful clothes too!
And beautiful shoes!
Such a saddle must be
very expensive, isn't it?
Of course!
Everything on me is
beautiful and valuable.
Nice, nice.
Very nice indeed!
Except that
you don’t know how to
dress like an official.
What did you say?
I don’t dress properly?
An official doesn’t dress
like that.
How does an official dress?
All right,
come down here!
Get off your horse.
Get off my horse? (Yes.)
Sure, why not?
I’ll show you.
Take off
your outer garment.
What?
I’ll wear it for you to see.
Take off my clothes?
Yes. Be quick!
I don’t have time.
O sir, sir, sir!
You must show me first.
Take it off,
for goodness’ sake!
It’s not any different
than the way I dress.
Of course, it is.
Watch carefully how
an official rides the horse.
It’s not any different
than the way I ride.
Sure, it is. Now,
you turn the horse like this.
Hey, you!
Return the horse to me!
Anyone, help me!
Return the horse to me!
Help me, anyone!
Lady, what’s the matter?
O sir! Please help me!
What are you looking for,
my dear?
To be honest with you,
my mother-in-law
told me to take
two gold earrings
to sell in the market
for my grandfather’s
death anniversary.
Unfortunately,
I slipped when walking
by here and
dropped one of them.
I kept searching
but couldn’t find it.
Please help me find it,
sir. I’ll give 2 bars
of silver in reward
for your service.
All right.
Just leave it to me, lady.
Just go up, dear.
You’d fall sick, staying
too long in the water.
I alone
can do the searching.
Yes. Thank you, sir.
You’re so kind.
Wow! What a pretty girl!
I’ll get to it right away.
What a pretty girl!
Please help me quickly,
otherwise my mother
will scold me.
Oh yes. I’ll do right now.
O sir!
What, dear?
Go a little farther.
It’s not there.
Okay. Out here? (Yes.)
All right.
Stay and enjoy
a cool bath.
I’m leaving. You can
get out when you like.
What!?
Return the horse to me!
Hey, girl!
Return the horse to me.
Clippity-clop,
clippity-clop…
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Son, who brought
the horse and
my clothes back for me?
Mom did.
What? (Mom did it.)
Give Dad the clothes.
Now what?
Ride the horse with me,
Dad.
Okay.
Hee, hee, hee, hee...
Clippity-clop,
clippity-clop...
You thief!
Are you stealing things?
It’s me, O wife! It’s me!
Oh god! So it’s you.
How come you
turned out like this?
O wife,
that girl tricked me.
What? Which girl?
You dated a girl?
You were tricked by her,
right?
Which girl? Tell me.
No, it’s not like that.
I’ve never done trading
before.
Why do you make me
do it now all of a sudden?
You must learn trading
to know about profit
and loss, pros and cons,
then you won’t be
cheated by people.
What if
something happens?
How shall I manage?
Just act according
to the circumstance.
You’ll get used to it slowly;
there’s nothing
to worry about.
What kind of man
would stay home with
his wife all the time?
Then when will you
be wiser?
How about
you go with me
so you can advise me?
Wouldn’t that be better?
Impossible.
If we both go,
who will look after
the house and children?
You must go alone.
I’ve written the price
on each piece of fabric.
If it’s profitable, just sell.
You should think
carefully before
making any decision.
If you meet with trouble,
calmly handle it.
Don’t be quick-tempered
and lose your wits.
Is there another way,
honey?
No other way.
Go, honey! Go!
O honey, think again.
There surely
is another way.
No other way, honey.
O Dad! Remember
to buy me a gold turtle!
Wherever you go,
remember the way home!
O wife! Wife!
A “fish” is coming.
Dock your boat here,
precious guest.
Dock your boat here,
precious guest.
Drop by our shop
for a refreshment.
Drop by our shop
for a refreshment.
This whole month
has been really bad luck.
There was
neither a good “catch”
nor a boat dropping
by for a drink.
This shop should be
pulled down.
What are we keeping it for?
Look at you!
Why be quick-tempered?
Business has good
and bad times.
Last month
we caught a big take.
It’s normal for this month
to be unproductive.
Just set your mind
at rest and wait.
I’m going inside
to sleep now.
You stay there and wait.
I can’t wait any longer.
Greetings,
precious guest.
Greetings, ma’am.
I’m stopping
by your shop to rest a bit.
There’s no harm in that,
right ma’am?
Why did you say that?
Harm? There’s no harm.
What kind of harm
you do mean?
Then it’s not harmful.
No. How can it be
harmful?
If you stop to rest,
you’ll work better.
So my decision turns out
to be a right one.
It’s a right one.
I’m sorry, ma’am.
I heard you call me before,
but I was thinking
if it’s profitable
to stop by your shop.
I’ve always been
very cautious.
My decision turned out
to be correct.
It’s very correct.
Please come in, sir.
Go inside?
You’re not stopping
by our shop to stay out
in the sun like this, no?
Oh, no. Whether I go
in or stay out here,
I must also think
before I decide.
It’s just that, and you still
have to ponder
about gain or loss?
Why not?
You know what?
My boat is stocked up
with expensive fabrics.
What? Is it really?
O husband,
the “fish” is here.
Get ready.
It’s a big “fish.”
What?
Today, you’re our
valued customer.
We’ll treat you a meal
to show our hospitality
and also to discuss
business. It’s for gain,
nothing to lose.
Please come inside.
But I haven’t finished
thinking yet.
All right, let me ask my
husband to watch over it.
This place is deserted
and unfrequented.
There’s nothing
for you to worry about.
Just come in here!
But... ma’am...
Please have your seat.
You sit here.
Have some drink first.
O husband! Go watch
the boat for our customer.
I’ll be right there.
Quickly!
What’s taking you so long?
O wife!
What’s the matter?
This guy knows me.
How?
I tricked him to steal
his horse. It’s him.
It’s all right.
Just cover your face.
Okay.
It’s all right now.
My husband
will be right out.
Please have your seat.
All right.
Please have some tea.
Watch the boat carefully,
so our guest
can have a rest.
Stop!
What’s the matter, sir?
My thinking isn’t
wasteful indeed.
Who is he?
My husband.
Your husband?
Yes.
He lives here?
Correct.
He goes to watch my boat,
but he’s wearing
such a big hat and covers
his face completely.
The sun here is indeed
harmful to your health.
That’s right.
It’s very harmful to health.
Let’s go in to keep cool.
Yes, please go inside
to keep cool.
Mommy’s back!
Come help me.
Take the horse to the stable.
Yes.
Mom! (Yes.)
Dad knew nothing
about trading.
How come you made him
go out to sell fabric?
He didn’t know,
but he’ll learn.
Everything
needs practice, son.
And you too.
Later, you should also
learn to work to help me.
Take this over there,
dear. (Yes.)
Bill me, ma’am.
Yes. Two coins, please.
That’s all.
Just two coins?
Yes.
It’s your first visit here,
so I’ll treat you
to this dish.
I hope that whenever
passing by here,
you’ll drop by our shop.
Really?
Yes.
Then every time
I pass by here,
I won’t forget
to visit your shop
and I won’t need
to think anymore.
Yes.
Now, I shall take leave.
Thank you, sir.
May you have a safe trip.
You watch my boat
and fall asleep like this?
Oh my! You’re the one
who stole my horse.
What?
Who stole your horse?
Woe’s me!
What are you looking for,
sir?
Did you steal
any of my fabric?
You lost your fabric?
No. I just checked.
Nothing’s been lost.
Why did you ask me
such a question?
Just to be sure. (Yes.)
Untie the boat for me.
(Yes.) Hurry up.
Have a safe trip.
I hope you will
frequent our shop.
No. Never!
You over there!
Anchor your boat!
Greetings, Your Honor.
I’m the official in charge
of this region.
The shop owner here
just reported that
she lost a gold turtle.
Yes. That’s right.
She suspects that
you’re the culprit.
That’s right.
Me? When did I steal
your gold turtle?
I just suspect so, sir.
If you don’t mind,
lift up your goods for
a search of your boat.
Then,
we’ll know right away.
No. Impossible.
I haven’t sold
any of my goods.
It’d be bad luck
to open them up.
Well, if you didn’t
steal her gold turtle,
why are you afraid
to have it searched?
That’s right!
What are you afraid of?
All right. I agree to have
my boat searched.
But what if the gold turtle
is not found?
I’d like to bet
all my property.
Also, we husband and
wife will be your slaves.
What will you do,
if otherwise?
If otherwise, I’ll lose this
entire boat of goods and
I myself as well to you.
Those are your words!
Your Honor,
please be the witness.
All right.
If you two agree,
you must sign a contract.
So later no troublesome
proceedings will crop up.
I’ll willing to,
Your Honor.
Do you agree?
Why not?
“A straight foot
is not afraid of
a crooked shoe.”
Come up here!
All right, then.
Search the boat!
Your Honor,
I found a gold turtle
underneath the boat.
What?
Mom! Why is Dad out
for so long?
Dad will probably
be back in a few days.
You never went out
that long before.
I know.
Your dad probably
ran into some trouble.
But he’ll be home
sooner or later.
Don’t worry, dear.
Help me feed the horse.
Yes.
You’ve worked here
for just a month,
how come you look
so emaciated?
Here’s a potato.
Eat it, then go to the
forest to gather more
firewood, you hear?
O sir and ma’am
passing by!
May I have some leftover
to ease my hunger?
O sir and ma’am
passing by!
May I have some leftover
to ease my hunger?
You have a grapefruit,
why don’t you eat it?
Why beg for food?
This grapefruit
is not to be eaten.
Please offer me
some leftover rice.
I’m very hungry.
All right, you can have
my portion.
I’m very grateful to you.
Wait for me a little bit!
What is it
you called me for?
I have nothing
to repay your kindness.
I have only this grapefruit.
Please accept it.
This grapefruit
is inedible,
what for do I take it?
It’s not edible,
but it has another use.
What is its use?
This grapefruit can be
used to send messages
to anyone in this world.
What did you say?
Is that true?
Just write a letter.
Use a knife to cut it open
at the stem and
slip in the letter.
Put it in the river
then pray aloud the name
and address of the person
to whom
you wish to send it:
“O grapefruit, go and
accomplish your job.”
It’ll cross river and sea to
reach that person’s hand.
It will never be lost,
regardless of
the distance.
If it is truly so,
then I’m very fortunate.
Thank you very much,
Elder.
Don’t swim too far, son!
Yes.
O Mom,
I found a grapefruit.
Please peel it
for me to eat.
Let me see if it’s edible.
Don’t worry,
precious guest.
My husband is watching
the boat for you.
Just take a rest.
We’ll serve you
wholeheartedly here.
We have many
delicious dishes.
What are you doing?
Go up there!
O honey,
they’re tricking you!
They’re tricking,
O honey!
What’s the matter?
Who’s tricking whom?
You’re crazy!
Get lost!
Please, precious guest.
It’s nothing at all.
This guy is out of his mind.
He gets like that,
once in a while
Just wait a bit,
I’ll bring the food out
right away.
No. No. No need.
You haven’t eaten at all.
We must go to take care
of something right away.
You haven’t eaten
anything yet.
I’m sorry.
Here’s the money.
Please stay,
precious guest.
No, no need.
We must go to take care
of something right away.
O precious guest,
you haven’t eaten
anything yet.
Why are you
in such a hurry?
Excuse me, sir.
I have some business
to take care.
We must go to take care
of something right away.
What? Woe to us!
Let him starve for 3 days
to give up gabbing.
Give him 30 more canes,
then tie him to the tree.
Stuff the lemon in his
mouth to shut him up.
Greetings, precious guest.
Greetings, you two.
Yes.
Our shop is very pleased
to serve you.
Please come in.
Please.
This shop is nice-looking.
Yes.
It’s at such a good location.
You must have
a lot of customers?
Yes, many.
It’s all due to our
patrons’ kindness
that our business
is going well.
Please come inside,
we’ll serve you
wholeheartedly.
Please.
Ma’am, ma’am...
Yes.
Is it safe to leave my boat
over there?
Don’t worry.
My husband will
watch over it carefully.
This man?
Yes.
Yes, I’ll do it.
You must watch it carefully.
Yes.
My goods are
all very expensive.
Yes, I understand.
If I lose anything,
you can’t afford to pay me.
Really?
Yes.
What kind of goods
are they?
They’re...
Well, it’s enough
that you know that.
Yes, yes.
Watch it carefully for me.
Yes, yes.
Please come in.
Please try this dish.
This dish we only reserve
for special guests.
Special?
What’s a special guest?
It means
this dish is reserved
for our new customers.
Really? (Yes.)
So next time I come,
I can’t have this dish
anymore?
No, no.
Of course you can.
If you request, we’re
pleased to serve you.
Then it’s not
special anymore.
I don’t want
to have this dish.
Just give it a try.
It’s very delicious!
Look! (Yes.)
I like only one dish.
Please understand.
Our shop
doesn’t have that.
You really don’t have it?
No, I don’t.
Fine, I won’t eat then.
I need... a man.
A man? (Yes.)
For what?
Of course, it’s not to eat.
Do you think it’s fun
to drink by myself?
At least,
I must have a friend to
drink with and tell jokes
to have a good time.
So? Do you have any?
There are only us
husband and wife
in this shop.
My husband is watching
your boat out there,
so how can he come up
here to entertain you?
Please understand.
Then you go out
to watch the boat
so he can come in here.
No, I can’t.
I have many things
to take care that my
husband can’t do for me.
Please try to understand.
Such a big shop like this
and you have no servants?
No, we don’t.
I’m leaving then.
It’s so boring here.
Please sit down.
You’ll have it right away.
I’ll bring a man for you
right away.
Please wait a bit.
Okay.
You slave, listen to me!
You must go inside to
entertain my customer.
If you say something
that affects my business,
I’ll chop off your head.
Clear enough?
Listen!
According to the law of
Hạ Châu Village,
I have the right to decide
your life, you hear?
So troublesome!
What’s taking her so long?
Stand there!
Precious guest,
he’s my only servant.
He just had an accident.
so his body is like that.
Please understand.
It’s all right.
Tell him to sit down
with me. (Yes.)
And you,
get me another bottle.
The good kind!
Yes, yes. Here it is.
You may leave.
Yes. Have a good meal.
Quick! Sit down!
I’m sitting.
Honey!
Where’s the owner?
Bring me the bill.
Owner? What?
Why do you people
look at me
like I’m a criminal?
It is so.
The lady shop owner
here just reported that
you stole a gold turtle
from her.
That’s correct.
Gold turtle? Me?
I stole her gold turtle?
Wait until
after the search,
I can determine
if you did steal it or not.
Searching?
Fine. You have
my permission.
Go ahead and search!
Soldier, search!
No. I want the owner
herself to search.
No need, Your Honor.
No need to search
his body.
Just search his boat.
No. I disagree.
Doing that
will ruin all my goods.
How can I sell them?
If you don’t agree to have
your boat searched,
that means you stole
her gold turtle.
All right.
If you say so,
then I’ll let you search.
But if her gold turtle
is not on my boat,
what’s the deal?
Then I’ll lose all my
possessions to you.
And this slave as well?
Him too!
And if my gold turtle
happens to be
on your boat,
what will you do?
What? If your gold turtle
is on my boat,
I’ll lose that boat
of goods to you,
including myself.
Agree?
Your Honor,
it’s not found.
Impossible!
How can it be?
Go search again!
Where did you put it?
I put it in this bag.
Why is it not there?
How do I know?
Oh god!
I’ve lost everything.
Gone are all my possessions!
You’ve just
enjoyed the film
“A Woman’s Wits,”
written by screenwriter
Nguyễn Đông Thức,
directed by
Nguyễn Minh Chung,
and produced
by Phương Nam Films,
with performances
by Khánh Huyền
as the Wife,
Công Bảy as the Husband,
Văn Toản
as the Shop Owner,
Thúy Phương as
the Shop Owner’s Wife,
Duy Thanh
as Village Official,
Nguyễn Quyết as the Son,
Phùng Ty as the Elder,
and other artists.
Through the folk tale
above, we can see that
a woman’s profound love
and exceptional intellect
have always been
her latent strength in
handling family matters.
Indeed,
each day, women
contribute immensely
to building a firm
foundation for their
families and societies.
At times, a woman
is just a shadow
behind her spouse,
yet she can still support
him in hardships,
hence the saying
“Behind every great man
is a great woman.”
At a three-day
international gathering in
Cape Town, South Africa
on November 28, 1999,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
has expounded
on the matriarchal system,
the virtues and
wondrous capabilities of
a woman in managing
her family and nation.
In the old times, we had
that system everywhere.
The woman were
in charge, they took care
of the state affair.
They decided great events
for the country.
They made decision
in the house, regarding
all the big issues
for the families
and the children.
The women are
more delicate,
more attentive to details,
and whatever they do,
they do it more correctly,
more refinedly.
That's why God has
entrusted the biggest,
noblest task, of being
a mother to women;
it's a very difficult job.
Women have limitless
strength of power
and limitless endurance,
stamina;
that's why they can bear
and raise children.
And they can endure a lot
of things for the family.
And that's why
mother has been loved,
respected, and praised
since time immemorial.

Supreme Master Ching Hai
lovingly sent gifts
to the artists
contributing to
the modern folk opera
“A Golden Lesson”
and the film
“A Woman’s Wits,”
broadcast on
Supreme Master Television
in previous weeks.
They expressed
their gratitude toward
Master’s caring concern.
Thanh Liêm
as the Commander:
I, artist Thanh Liêm,
am very happy
and very touched upon
receiving Master’s gift.
I sincerely
thank Master Ching Hai
very much.
I and my wife, Lệ Trinh,
always remember
Buddha’s teaching
and highly esteem
Master Ching Hai.
I and my wife,
artist Lệ Trinh,
also eat vegetarian and
recite Buddha’s name.
Buddha’s teaching
forbids killing.
So, being vegetarian
is very beneficial.
First,
it’s good for our bodies.
I’m 63 years now,
but I’m still vigorous
and I still sing well,
thanks to
my vegetarian diet.
Animals are very smart.
For example, dogs are
very smart and loyal.
Horses are very loyal, too.
I have a dog companion
at home.
Hearing the sound of
my motorcycle from afar,
my dog would
wag his tail.
So how can I not love him?
The Creator has created
humans and animals.
If we reflect thoroughly,
we’d realize that
animals are like humans.
So, we must love animals
as we love humans.
Animals are like humans;
they’re also born and die,
they also eat
and feel sad, they know
love and anger.
We must love and
understand one another.
My respectful greetings

After I graduated from
the School of Theater Art,
I began performing
and became acquainted
with the monks.
Since then,
I’ve visited temples,
eaten vegetarian, listened
to the monks’ lectures;
I feel very comfortable.
Being vegetarian
has improved my health.
Today, I have the affinity
to hear about Master.
I respectfully wish
Master abundant health.
Respectful greetings,

Actor of Merit Công Bảy
as the Husband:
Respected viewers of
Supreme Master
Television.
This television
is very high
in humanitarian aspect,
very beneficial to viewers
and the public,
not only in Âu Lạc
but also worldwide.
As a professional
working in the arts,
I think that regardless
of our nationality,
we ought to try
to cherish Aulacese arts.
Just watch these films,
you will see
many good things.
They all carry a deep
wish for a fair, civilized
and harmonious world
in which people love
and care for one another.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai
is indeed an example
and a role model.
Her activities contribute
greatly to the evolvement
of humankind in general.
I'd like to thank Master
for her gifts and affection
for artist Công Bảy.
Actress Khánh Huyền
as the Wife:
Today, I’m truly touched
upon receiving
Supreme Master
Ching Hai’s love.
I sincerely thank
Supreme Master Ching Hai.
Master has sent me this gift.
I’m very grateful
for Master’s kindness.
I wish Master a lot of
accomplishments in life.
May your love
reach everyone
so that many people
can receive this joy.
Actor Văn Toàn
as the Shop Owner:
I’m Lê Văn Toàn,
an actor from
Vietnam Theater.
Amitabha Buddha
be praised.
I pray to God
and Buddha to grace
Supreme Master Ching Hai
with peace, safety
and longevity
to guide and
help humanity so that
the world will enjoy
harmony and happiness.
May all viewers of
Supreme Master Television
receive her teaching.
May your family
be healthy, safe
and sound, prosperous
and working toward
world peace.
It’s Buddhism that
has guided and taught me
not to covet fame and
position and to discern
goodness from vice.
I’ve pledged to contribute
in some way to make
a more beautiful world
and better people.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai
teaches sentient beings.
She has saved countless
beings from suffering.
I myself am a Buddhist,
but regardless,
all religions teach their
followers to do good.
First,
I must do good myself.
There’s a very effective
law of retribution here,
that is,
when you help someone,
although you don’t wish
for that person
to repay your favor,
but afterward, you’d feel
very light, very happy.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai’s work
is very noble.
Therefore, I pray that
God and Buddha
bless Supreme Master
Ching Hai
with great health and
longevity to continue
helping humanity.
Actor Phùng Ty
as the Elder:
I would like to thank you,
Supreme Master
Ching Hai,
for your concern and gift
to a member of
the filmmaking team.
Thank you,
Supreme Master
Television viewers,
for watching and
for your encouragement.
I hadn’t expected
to receive such a gift.
Nowadays, vegetarianism
is very popular.
For example,
alcohol drinkers
quit drinking,
or people who eat
a lot of meat would
reduce its intake
and instead eat more
vegetables which are
lighter and simpler.
Actress Thúy Phương as
the Shop Owner’s Wife:
Today I received gifts
from Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
I would like to
thank Master for your
compassion and noble
humanitarian spirit.
With regard to
Supreme Master Television
that I have watched,
I am very touched,
because
Supreme Master Ching Hai
introduces everything
about our country
to viewers worldwide.
In this way,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
also helps me contribute
a small part to share with
our international friends
about our arts
and filmmaking.
I enjoy vegetarian food
very much.
Nowadays,
food and drink have
a lot of chemicals;
therefore, the more
vegetarian food we eat,
the better for our health.
Besides, I have diabetes,
so I’m completely veg.
I just eat vegetables,
tofu, and rice.
I feel better.
Eating like that, diabetes
will not increase.
I’d also like to call on
the Aulacese and
everyone in the world
to follow
Supreme Master
Ching Hai’s example.
On behalf of
my entire family,
I would like to thank
Supreme Master Ching Hai
for her gifts.
Please send
Supreme Master Ching Hai
our best wishes for health
and fondest regards.
