Eighteen Springs
From an Eileen Chang novel, a love story set in Shanghai during the 1930s. Wu Chien-lien plays Manjing (the young woman from the once-rich family), and Leon Lai plays Shujun (the young guy from the wealthy family of Nanjing merchants). They manage to fall in love in stages, despite Shujun's worries about the family of Manjing (her sister, Manlu (Anita Mui), works as a nightclub "hostess"). First, Manjing's hesitance to take this step is disrupted by Shujun's rejection of her family and the baroquely conceived abuse and enslavement of Shujun by her family. The expected progression from engagement to marriage is interrupted. Shujun and Manjing meet after a lengthy period of separation, but learn that their happiness is merely a nostalgic re-imagining of opportunities squandered and understandings never reached.
