Description:
In the late years of the Cultural Revolution, on a river steamer from Chongqing to Wuhan, several people with their own worries share a cabin: the poet Qiu Shi (Li Zhi-Yu), imprisoned for six years on a fabricated charge, is being secretly escorted by special-case officers Liu Wen-Ying (Zhang Yu) and Li Yan (Qiang Ming), with little hope ahead; the old woman (Ou-Yang Ru-Qiu) lost her only son in armed clashes and has boarded the ship to mourn his soul; the country girl Xing-Hua, forced to "sell herself to repay a debt," thinks tearfully of her sweetheart... Show more Because Liu Wen-Ying and Li Yan present themselves as a "model revolutionary youth" and a cunning old hand respectively, the others take a dislike to them. Besides, a little girl has slipped aboard unnoticed.
Xing-Hua's tragic plight fills everyone with indignation, yet they are powerless to help, and the old woman's fortitude fails to inspire her. In the end she jumps into the river to end her life, but Qiu Shi pulls her ashore and tells her the story of his love with Liu Gu (Zhao Jing). Hearing it, Xing-Hua regains the courage to live. Qiu Shi, who has already put life and death out of his mind, never expected that light would dawn in his own life as well: the ship's policeman Old Wang (Zhong Xing-Huo) wins the little girl's trust, and it turns out she boarded the ship to find her father; from the token she mentions, Old Wang concludes that she is Qiu Shi's daughter. While everyone fears for Qiu Shi's safety, Liu Wen-Ying, her conscience put to the test, decides to help Qiu Shi and his daughter at any cost.
