Lines in the fourth act of Thunderstorm:

【 There was a whistle in the distance outside.

Ping (stop by hand) No, you don't shout. (Whistling near, beaming) She, she's coming, I hear her!

Big what?

Ping, this is her voice. It's like this every time we meet.

Big she's here?

Ping may be in the garden?

[Ping opens the window and whistles, and the answer is closer.

Ping (looking back, with tears in her eyes and a smile) here she comes!

Someone knocked at the middle door.

Ping (Xianghai), please hide in the next room for a while. She didn't expect you to be here. I don't think she can take it anymore.

【 Busy led Yu Hai to the door of the canteen, Yu Hai got off.

The sound outside is (low) flat!

Flat (running to the middle door) wind! Come on in!

[Sifeng comes in through the middle door, her hair is messy, her clothes are wet, tears flow on her face with the rain, and her eyes are wet.

Her hair grows on her temples and her clothes cling to her skin. The cold after the rain forced her to tremble and her teeth shook up and down. She saw that Ping seemed to be lost.

The child saw his mother again and looked at him blankly.

Siping!

Ping (moved) Feng!

Four (timidly) nobody?

Ping (sadly, piteously) no. (Holding her hand)

Four (boldly) Oh! Ping! (sobbing with Ping in her arms)

Ping (if I haven't seen her for a long time) How are you? How did you do that? How did you find me? (Can't stop) How did you get in?

Come here?

I stole it from the small door.

Feng Ping, your hands are cold. Please change clothes first.

No, Ping, (sobbing) Let me look at you first.

Ping (leads her to the sofa. Sitting next to you, warmly) you, where have you been, Feng?

Four (smiling at him with tears) Ping, you are still here. It seems that we have been apart for many years.

Ping (picks up a purple carpet on the sofa and wraps it around her) My poor chicken, how can you be so stupid? Where are you going?

Went? My silly child!

Four (wiping tears, holding Ping's hand, and Ping squatting beside me) I am running in the rain alone, and I don't know where I am. sky

There was thunder on the floor, and I only saw a blur in front; I forgot everything. I think I hear my mother calling me, but I'm scared.

I run like hell, I want to find the river in front of our house and jump.

Ping (holding SiFeng's hand) Feng!

Four.-but somehow I can't find it.

Ping: Oh, Feng, I'm sorry. Forgive me. I told you to do this. Forgive me. Don't blame me.

Siping, I won't blame you for anything. I walked here again and went to the garden under the telephone pole. Suddenly, I ...

I want to die. I know I can forget everything when I touch that wire. I love my mother, and I'm afraid I just swore to her.

I'm afraid she'll say I'm a bad daughter. I'd rather not live. However, I was about to touch that wire when I suddenly saw your window.

Door light, I think you are in the house. Oh, Ping, I suddenly feel that I can't die like this, I can't die alone,

I can't lose you. I remember, the world is big, we can go, we just need to leave here together. Ping, you-

-

Ping (heavily) Let's leave here together, shall we?

Four (eagerly) is this road, Ping, I have no home now, (bitterly) my brother hates me and my mother hates me.

Have no face to see. I have nothing now. I have no relatives or friends. I only have you, Ping (plaintively).

God, take me away.

[For a long time.

Ping (shaking his head vigorously) No, no-

Four (disappointedly) draws!

Ping (looking at her heavily) No, no-let's go now.

Four (incredibly) leave now?

Ping (pathetically) Well, I was going to go alone now and pick you up later, but it's not necessary now.

Four (unbelievable) Really, shall we go together?

Ping well, really.

Four (ecstasy, throwing down the carpet, standing up, kissing flat hands, wiping away tears) Really, really, really, Ping, you.

You are my savior, you are the best person in the world, and you are me-oh, I love you! (shed tears at him)

Ping (moved to wipe tears with a handkerchief) Feng, we will always be together and never part.

Four (masturbating, in flat arms) Well, we're leaving here, and we won't be apart.

Ping (restraining himself) All right, Feng, let's meet someone before we go. We'll leave after we see him.

Four people?

Ping, your brother

Fourth brother?

Ping, he wants to see you. He is in the dining room.

Four (horrified) No, no, you don't want to see him. He hates you and he will hurt you. Come on, let's go.

Ping (consolingly) I have met him. -We have to see him now, (irrevocably) otherwise, I ...

Children can't leave.

(Timid) But Ping, you-

[Ping walks to the door of the restaurant and opens the door.

Ping (call) Lu Dahai! Lu Dahai! He's not here. Strange, maybe he went out the restaurant door. you see

Si Feng)

Four (goes to Ping and whispers) Ping, ignore him. Let's leave now. (Pulling him to the middle door) Let's go like this.

All right.

[Sifeng pulls Ping to the middle door. The middle door opens and Ma Lu and the sea come in.

At two o'clock, Nei Lu's mother is a different person. Because I cried in the rain, my voice became smaller and my eyelids closed.

Disappointed, the wrinkles on her forehead were deeply engraved on her face, and excessive stimulation made her dull and rigid.

A model of pain. Her clothes seem to be partially dry, her hair is still wet, and her temples are messy by wet hair.

Her hands were shaking and she walked in carefully.

Four (panic) mom! (cringing)

【 Slightly, Luma looked at SiFeng piteously.

Lu (holding out his hand to SiFeng sadly) Fenger, come!

SiFeng runs to her mother and kneels down.

Fourth mother! (Holding mom's knee)

Lu (touching Sifeng's head regretfully) Child, my poor child.

Four (sobbing) Mom, give me a break, give me a break, I forgot what you said.

Lu (helping SiFeng up) Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I love you, mom. I'm afraid. I don't want to tell you something that makes you dislike and despise me.

You

Lu (sadly) or your mother is too confused. I should have thought of that. (Bitter, sudden) God, who knows this?

Yes, there will be such a thing in the world, but why should it happen to my children? Oh, your mother's life is too hard, and so are you.

It's too bitter.

Mom (coldly), let's go. Sifeng will go back with us first -I have discussed it with him.

He left first, and then met Sifeng.

Lu (puzzled) Who said that? Who said that?

Big (coldly looking at Ma Lu) Mom, I know what you mean. Naturally, this is the only way. You know what? I'll deal with the Zhou family later.

Forget it. Let them go.

Lu (sits down puzzled) What? Let them go?

Grandma Ping (mumbled something) Lu, please believe me. I will treat her well. We have decided to leave.

Lu (shaking Sifeng's hand) Feng, you, you have to go with him!

(Bowing, having to hold Ma Lu's hand) Mom, I must leave you first.

Lu (can't help it) you can't be together!

Big (strange) mom, what's wrong with you?

Lu (stands up) No, I can't!

Four (anxious) mom!

Lu (ignoring her and holding her hand) Let's go. (to the sea) If you go out and call a rickshaw, Sifeng probably won't be able to walk.

Yes Let's leave now. Let's leave now.

Four (shrinking back desperately) Mom, you can't do this.

Lou, no, no! Go ahead (dully), go ahead.

Mom, would you like your daughter to die before your eyes?

Ping (walks to mother Lu) Grandma Lu, I know I'm sorry. But I will try my best to make up for my mistake, now.

Love has done this, you-

Aunt (don't understand) This time, I don't understand!

Lou (as a last resort, sternly), hire a car first! (to SiFeng) FengEr, listen, I'd rather you didn't, I didn't.

I can invite you to stay with him. -Let's go!

【 The sea just arrived at the door, SiFeng shouted.

Four (shouting) ah, mom, mom! (fainting in mom's arms)

Lu (holding SiFeng) My child, you-

Ping (anxious) She fainted.

【 Ma Lu holding up her forehead, whispered "four phoenixes", and couldn't help crying.

[Ping ran to the restaurant.

Don't go-it's okay, just a little cold water. She has been like this since she was a child.

[Ping poured a pot of cold water on her face, and Sifeng woke up and turned pale.

Lu (throwing cold water on Sifeng) Fenger, good boy. You come back, you come back. -My child got what he deserved.

Four (mouth gradually opens, eyes open, catch my breath) Ah, mom!

Lu (consolingly), don't blame your mother for being cruel, because she can't say anything.

Four (sighs) Mom!

What's wrong with Lou? Fenger?

I can't tell you, Ping!

Feng Ping, are you feeling better?

Siping, I always keep it from you; I won't tell you (looking at Ma Lu piteously). Mom, you-

Lu what, son, say it.

Four (sniffling) I, I-(boldly) He and I have ... (crying)

Lu (eagerly) Why, you said you had-(smashed, don't move. )

Ping (holding Sifeng's hand) Sifeng! Why, seriously, you-

Four (crying) Mm-hmm.

Ping (sad and happy) When? What time?

Four (bowing) for about three months.

Ping (happily) Oh, SiFeng, why didn't you tell me, I, my-

Lou (in a low voice) Oh, my God!

Grandma Ping (to Lu Lu), don't be stubborn. It's all my fault: I beg you! I beg you.

Let her go. I believe I will not fail her and you in the future.

(Stand up, go to Ma Lu and kneel down) Mom, have pity on us, promise us and let us go.

Lu (silent, sitting, crazy) I'm dreaming. My daughter, my own daughter, thirty years of hard work-

God, (hide your face and cry, wave) you go, I don't know you. (turns away)

Thank you, Ping! (Stand up) Let's go. Phoenix! (Four Fengqi)

Lu (involuntarily turning back) No, you can't!

【 SiFeng knelt down again.

Four (pleading) Mom, how are you? My heart is at peace. No matter he is poor or rich, no matter who he is, I am him.

Yes I promised him in my heart first, and all I saw was him. Mom, I am at this point: I will go wherever he goes.

Children; I am what he is. Mom, don't you get it? I-

Lu (a wanted order instructing her not to go down, painfully) child.

Aunt, sister, in that case, let her go.

Grandma Ping (depressed) Lu, if you can't let her go in your heart, we have to go by ourselves against our will. phoenix

!

Four (shaking his head) Ping! (Still looking at Ma Lu) Mom!

Lu (heavy sadness, deep voice) Oh, God knows who committed the crime and who committed this crime! -They are poor children.

I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, my God, if I want to be punished, I will be punished alone; I am guilty alone. I'll go first.

Take a wrong step. (sadly) now I understand, I understand, what has been done, there is no need to complain about this unfairness.

God, people commit a crime once, and they will commit it again. -(touching Sifeng's head) They are my clean children.

They should live well and enjoy happiness. I feel wronged in my heart, and I have to taste the pain alone. They're happy. Who?

Knowing is a sin? They are still young. They didn't do anything wrong on purpose. (Standing up and looking at the sky) Tonight,

I asked them to go together. I know this crime, but I have committed it for them now. All the sins are mine.

People think that my child is a good boy with a pure heart, so God, what really exists, let me bear it alone with you.

All right. (Looking back) Fenger,-

Mom, you're sad-I don't understand what you're saying.

Lu changed the subject. (kindly) nothing. (Laughing) Get up, Fenger. Let's go together.

Four (standing up, touching and holding her mother) Mom!

Ping, go! (Looking at his watch) It's getting late. There are only 25 minutes left. Tell them to get the car out. Come on, let's go.

Lu (quietly) No, you left secretly this time. Don't disturb others. (to the sea) The sea, you go out.

Call a car. I want to go back. You take them to the station.

It's huge. Yes

The sea is under the middle door.

Lu (to SiFeng sadly) Come here, my child, and let me have a good kiss. (Sifeng comes to hug her mother; Ma Lu Xiang ping

) Come, too. Let me see you. (Ping goes to the front and lowers his head. Lu looks at him and wipes his tears) Good! You go.-I want you.

Promise me one thing before you go.

Go ahead, Ping.

Lu, if you don't promise, I still don't want Sifeng to leave.

Siniang, tell me, I promise.

Lou (look at the two of them), you'd better go further and further this time, don't look back, and leave today, whether you are dead or alive.

Never see me again.

Four (sad) Mom, that's not-

Ping (glances, whispers) She is very sad now, so she said this. After that, she will be fine.

Okay, okay.-Mom, let's go.

【 Four chicken knelt down and kowtowed to Luma. Four phoenixes shed tears, and Luma resisted.

Lou (waving) Let's go!

Ping, let's go out from the restaurant. There's something else for me in the restaurant.

【 Three people-Ping, Sifeng and Ma Lu-walked to the door of the restaurant, and the door opened. When Fan Yi came out, all three people were surprised.

See.

Fourth (voice) wife!

Numerous (quietly) hey, where are you going? It's still thundering outside

Ping (to Fan Yi) Why are you eavesdropping outside alone?

Numerous well, you are just me, there are people. (to the restaurant) You come out! [rushing to the restaurant, cringing.

Four (stunned) Second Young Master!

(uneasily) rushed to Sifeng!

Brother Ping (unhappy, Xiang Di), why are you so ignorant?

Mom asked me to come here. I don't know what you are doing.

Numerous (coldly) now you understand.

Ping (anxious, anxious) What are you doing?

Numerous (sarcastically) I asked your brother to see you off.

Ping (angry), you are so humble-

Brother chong!

Brother Ping, I'm sorry! -(suddenly turns to Fan Yi) But there is no mother like you in the world!

Mom, what happened?

Numerous, look! (To SiFeng) SiFeng, where are you going?

Four (mumbles) I ... I ...

Ping, don't lie. Tell them, stand up and tell them we're going together.

Chong (understand) what, SiFeng, are you going with him?

Fourth, um, second young master, I, I am-

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Fourth, it's not that I won't tell you; I told you not to look for me, because I am no longer a good woman.

Ping (to SiFeng) No, why did you say you were not good? You tell them! (of Fan Yi) Tell them you want to.

Marry me!

Chong (slightly surprised) SiFeng, you-

Numerous (blunt) now you understand. (rushing down)

Ping (suddenly turning to Fan Yi, mercilessly) You are so heartless! I thought your son would replace-destroy it? younger brother

Say, what do you mean now? You say, what are you going to do to me? Go ahead, brother will forgive you.

【 Fan Yi ran to the door of the study and shouted.

Fan Chong, say it! (a long time, urgent way) Zhong Er, why don't you talk? Why do you ask SiFeng? What are you doing?

Why don't you grab your brother and talk? Once again, everyone looked at the rushing crowd and rushed to silence. ) Tell me, Chong Er, why don't you?

A dead man? Dumb? A confused child? Didn't you see that the person you like was robbed? Aren't you angry at all?

What?

Go (raise your head like a lamb) no, no, mom! (Looking at Sifeng again, bowing his head) As long as Sifeng is willing, I have nothing to say.

There is nothing to say.

Ping (walks up to Chong and holds his hand) Oh, my good brother, my understanding brother!

Chong (doubtfully, thoughtfully) No, no, I suddenly found ... I feel ... I don't seem to really love SiFeng; (

Before-I, I, I-maybe it was nonsense!

Ping (gratefully) However, brother-

Chong (looking at Ping's warm eyes and flinching) No, you can take her away, as long as you are good to her!

Numerous (all disappear, disappointed) Oh, you! (Suddenly, angrily) You are not my son; You are not my son;

You are not like me, you-you are a dead pig!

Rush (insulted) mom!

Ping (surprised) What's wrong with you!

Numerous (confused) you really have no masculinity. If I were you, I would beat her, burn her, and then kill her. You are too sentimental.

Tu chong, not angry at all. You were raised by your father, your father's little sheep. I misjudged you.-You're not mine,

You are not my son.

Ping (Uneven) Are you the mother of your younger brother? You talk like this.

Numerous (painfully) flat, you say, you say; I'm not afraid, I've forgotten my own (hasty, half-crazy) love for you.

Don't think I'm your mother. (Loudly) Your mother died a long time ago, and your father was crushed to death. Now I don't want to

It's your mother. She is a woman who woke up after seeing his drought-striken fields. (Desperately) She also hopes that men really love her and be true.

A real living woman!

Chong (heartbroken) Oh, mom.

Ping (glancing at her) She is ill. (To Fan Yi) Come upstairs with me! Maybe you should take a break.

Nonsense! I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not mentally ill at all. Don't think I'm talking nonsense (wipe your eyes.

Tears, sadly) How many years have I endured? Yan and I have been in this hellhole of Zhoufu for eighteen years.

My heart is not dead; Your father only told me to give birth to Zhong Er, but my heart, I am still mine. (refers to the flat)

Only he wants my whole person, but now he doesn't want me, he doesn't want me.

Chong (painfully) mom, my favorite mom, what's wrong with you?

Ping, let her go, she's crazy!

Don't be like your father. Not crazy.-I'm not crazy! I want you to talk. I want you to tell them.

-This is my last breath!

Ping (ruthlessly) What do you want me to say? I think you should go upstairs and sleep.

Numerous (sneer) you don't pretend! You tell them I'm not your stepmother.

Everyone is surprised and slightly surprised.

Rush (helplessly) mom!

Numerous (no matter) tell them, tell SiFeng, tell her!

Four (can't help it) Oh, my God! (Cheng Lv Mahuai)

Ping (looking at his brother and turning to Fan Yi) Why bother you! Why are you talking about the past? Call my brother unhappy all his life.

Numerous (lost motherhood, shouting) I have no children, I have no husband, I have no home, I have nothing, I just want you.

Say: I am yours.

Ping (distressed) Oh, brother! Look at my poor brother. If you have a little mother's heart-

Numerous (revenge) now you also learn from your father, you hypocritical thing, you remember, you lied to you.

Brother, you lied to me and your father!

Ping (angry) You are talking nonsense, I didn't, I didn't lie to him! Father is a good man, and his father has morality all his life.

Fan Yi sneers:) (to SiFeng) Ignore her. She's crazy. Let's leave now.

Numerous don't have to go, the door is locked. Your father will come down. I sent someone to find him.

Oh, madam!

Ping, what are you doing?

Numerous (coldly) I want your father to meet his future good wife before he leaves. Park, park, park, park ...

Mom, no!

Ping (walks to Fan Yi) Crazy, don't you dare shout again!

【 Fan Yi ran to the door of the study and shouted.

Lv Sifeng, let's go out.

Numerous no, he is coming!

【 Park Park enters from the study, everyone is motionless, and silence is death.

Park (at the door) What's your name? Why don't you go upstairs and sleep?

I (proudly) invite you to meet your good relatives.

Park (surprised to see Ma Lu with SiFeng) Ah, you, you,-what are you doing?

Fan (pulls SiFeng into the garden) This is your daughter-in-law. Please meet her. (pointing to Park Yuan-chih Sifeng) Call him Dad! (pointing to Lou.

You also know this old lady.

Mrs. Lu!

Ping Fan, come here! Come and kowtow to the mother in front of your father.

Ping (embarrassed) Dad, I, I-

Park (Qingqing) What-(to mother Lu) Shi Ping, you're finally back.

Numerous (surprised) what?

Lu (panicking) No, no, you are mistaken.

Park (regretfully) Shi Ping, I think you will come back, too.

Lou, no, no! (Bowing his head) Ah! Oh, my god

Numerous (stunned) Shi Ping? What, she's Shi Ping?

Park (hmm. (angrily) Fan, you don't have to ask me any more. She is Ping's mother. She died thirty years ago.

Numerous days!

[For a long time. Sifeng let out a cry of pain and looked at her mother. Ma Lu bowed his head in pain. Ping is in a daze.

, looked puzzled at his father and Luma. At this time, Fan Yi gradually moved to Zhou Chong's side, and now she suddenly found a more tragic fate.

Gradually, she sympathized with Ping. She realized that she had just gone crazy, which quickly restored her normal mother's feelings. she

I can't help looking at my running.

Park (sadly) Pinger, come here. Your birth mother is not dead, she is still alive.

Ping (half frantically) is not her! Dad, tell me it's not her!

Park (sternly) bastard! Ping, don't talk nonsense. She doesn't have a good background. She is your mother.

Ping (painfully) Oh, Dad!

Park (with dignity), don't think that you and Sifeng are the same mother, and you forget human nature just because your face is not good-looking.

Four (to mother) Oh, mom! (painfully)

Park (heavily) Pinger, you forgive me. I've been doing wrong all my life. I never thought she would be here today,

I found it here today. I guess this is fate. I am getting old. I told you to leave just now, and I regret it.

I want to send you twenty thousand dollars. Now that you're here, I think Pinger is a filial child and he will take good care of you.

I'm sorry. He'll make it up to you.

Ping (to mother Lu) you-you are mine-

Lu (involuntarily) flat-(turns around and sniffles)

Park, get on your knees, Pingle! Don't think you are dreaming, this is your birth mother.

Mom, this can't be true.

Lu (silent, sniffling)

Numerous (turning to Ping, regretfully) Ping, I, I never thought it was-well, Ping-

Ping (strange smile, fragrance floating) Dad! (Laughing at Mom Lu) Mom! (Looking at Sifeng and pointing at her) You-

Four (and Ping smiled at each other strangely, suddenly unbearable) Oh, my God! Ping ran down from the middle door and threw herself on the sofa, dead.

Standing in a heavy position. )

Numerous (urgent) four phoenixes! Sifeng! (Turning to Chong) Chong Er, she doesn't look right. Go out and see her.

[Rushed to the door and called Sifeng.

Park (to Pingqian) Pinger, what's going on?

Ping (suddenly) dad, you shouldn't have given birth to me! (Run, get off from the canteen).

[I heard the screams of Sifeng in the distance, rushed to Sifeng and shouted, and then rushed to scream.

Lu Sifeng, what's wrong with you!

Also known as

Countless my children, my children!

Both of them ran out through the middle door.

Park (rushes to the window and opens the curtain, trembling) What? How come?

The servant ran in through the middle door.

Servant (gasps) Master!

Parker, come on. What's wrong?

Servant (anxious) SiFeng ... died. ...

Where's master park?

The servant is also ... dead.

No, no, how could ...

The servant SiFeng touched the wire. The second young master didn't know, so he pulled it quickly and they were electrocuted together.

Park (a little dizzy) won't. This, this-this won't work, this won't work!

【 PiaoPiao and servant run down.

Ping came out of the restaurant, pale but calm. He walked to the table with Lu Dahai's pistol.

When he saw it, he opened the drawer, took out his pistol, and walked slowly into the study on the right, shaking his hand.

[The voice outside is very noisy, crying and noisy, mixed feelings. From the middle door, Luma's face is even darker, just like a plaster cast.

For example. The old servant followed with a flashlight.

【 Ma Lu stood silently in Taichung.

Old servant (consolingly) Old lady, don't be in a daze! This can't be done. You have to cry. You need to have a good cry.

Lu (absently) I can't cry!

Old servant, this is providence. I can't help it -But you have to cry yourself.

No, I want to be quiet. (Standing still)

The door is wide open, and many servants surround Fan Yi. Fan Yi didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.

Servant (outside) go in, madam, and don't look.

Numerous (crowded into the middle door, leaning against the door with a strange smile) Zhong Er, why are you so open? Why are you smiling at me? Rush

Son, you silly child.

Park (walking in the middle door with tears on his face) Fan Yi, come in! My hands are numb, so don't look.

Madam old servant, please come in. People have been burned by electric fire, and there is no way.

Numerous (come in, crying) Zhong Er, my good boy. It was fine just now. How could you die? How did you die here?

How bad is it? (Standing still)

Park (entered), you should be quiet. (wiping tears)

Numerous (laughter) chong, you damn it, damn it! You deserve to die with such a mother.

[The servant outside fights with Lu Dahai.

Parker, who are you? Who is fighting at this time?

[The old servant asked, and immediately became a servant.

What happened outside the park?

This morning's servant Lu Dahai came again and fought with us.

Parker, call him in!

Sir, he punched and kicked several of us. He has escaped by the small door.

Pu Shu escaped?

Servant: Yes, sir.

Park (slightly, suddenly) goes after him, and goes after him with me.

Servant: Yes, sir.

[The servants come down together. There are only Park Yuan, Ma Lu and Fan Yi in the room.

Park (sadly) I lost one son, and I can't lose another. (All three people sit down)

Lu, go! Let her go. I know this kid. She hates you. I know she won't come back to see you.

Park (silence, I feel strange) young people came in front of us instead, and now only we are left-

Suddenly) where is Pinger? Where is that gentleman? Pinger, Pinger! Is anyone here? Somebody please. (No answer) You come with me.

Ah, where is my eldest son?

【 gunfire in the study, dead silence in the room.

Numerous (suddenly)! (Running down from the study, Parker stands still, and Fan Yi immediately shouts) He's ... male. ...

Stop the car ... male ...

【 Parker Parker followed Fan Yi ran into the study.

【 Ma Lu stood up, took two steps to the book of atrial fibrillation, then walked to Taichung, and gradually fell down and knelt on the ground, just like the old woman who fell at the end of the prologue.

As the stage darkens, high-quality Bach dance music is playing in the distance. When it is completely dark, its sound is the loudest, which is the same as the music at the end of the prelude. When the curtain falls, it opens and ends.
