There are three protagonists in total. The male protagonist is a frustrated British journalist. Hong Kong is about to return. He feels that the real Hong Kong will die forever, and he himself suffers from cancer. The first female is a Hong Kong drifter from the mainland, played by Gong Li. The male protagonist likes her, but she loves a Chinese man who can never marry her. The second female is an authentic Hong Konger, played by Maggie Cheung. She has a tangled past, she fell in love with a British boy, but the British boy ended up marrying someone else.
The three people's different identities and backgrounds formed the context of the reality behind the prosperity of Hong Kong at that time.
The story itself is nothing, the main thing is the complexity after it is involved. The mainland, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom are constantly cutting things and getting chaotic.
Hong Kong now may not remember what it looked like 20 years ago.
