Yu Hong is a rebellious young woman from a small Chinese town transplanted to a politically charge Beijing University in the late 1980s. The country's social turmoil is witnessed through its disaffected youth, whose newfound sexuality and activism culminated in violent suppression. Spanning nearly 20 years of Chinese history, projects the country's struggle for definition through the eyes and heart of a young woman ill-equipped to handle it. While drifting between the arms of two different men, her love fervent for both, Yu Hong's existential crisis mirrors that of her nation.
