During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Dong Guomin (played by Johnnie To), a clown in a nightclub, could no longer bear the wanton bombing of Shanghai by the Japanese invaders. He resolutely bid farewell to his uncle and joined the army. Before setting off, Dong Guomin fell in love at first sight with a woman under the Suzhou Bridge. They agreed to meet again after victory... Ten years passed in a flash. Dong Guomin returned to Shanghai. From then on, he often wandered under the Suzhou Bridge, longing to meet the old man again. However, things had changed and people were no longer the same. At this time, only a few down-and-out veterans were sleeping under the bridge. The dance girl Ah Shu (played by Cecilia Cheung) downstairs of Dong Guomin took in a woman named Deng Zi (played by Sally Yau) who came to Shanghai and gave her help in her daily life. The two called each other sisters. Dong Guomin and Deng Zi met on the rooftop. Although Deng Zi was not the person Dong Guomin had misunderstood as from back then, he still developed a favorable impression of this young man. Not long after, Ashu also got involved in this relationship, but to support Deng Zi, Ashu chose to withdraw. Not long after, Dong Guomin finally discovered that A Shu was the person who had been under the bridge back then. But at this moment, A Shu had boarded the southbound train with someone else...
