The hugely popular sweet-song diva lives in an urban village, and she's in the room next door to mine.
Most important of all, she obediently became my girlfriend.
Filming a story like this as a modern short drama would only be fake wish fulfillment. In the 1990s, though, people dared to let you have the real thing.
Back then, gold was everywhere, and so was love. She was a sweet singer who came south to chase her dreams. I was a down-and-out young man who came south to work.
This is the story of my tangled, almost-but-not-quite love with the sweet-song diva who once took the whole country by storm, a love that lasted thirty years.
In that era, romance between men and women was just beginning to pick up speed, but there were still people willing to devote their whole lives to protecting love.
In an urban village in Guangzhou, I caught an accidental glimpse of a hazy figure, as beautiful as a flower emerging from water, beneath the incandescent light in the room next door.
By night, I crept closer, lonely, again and again. By day, I refused to settle for an ordinary life, again and again.
In a city of bright lights and glitter, the two of us each struggled to make our way.
She began in the urban village and rose step by step to the top, becoming the beloved Queen of Sweet Songs. Flowers, applause, fame and fortune awaited her, but she also fell into the abyss...
I set out from the urban village and weathered the ups and downs of the business world: money, status, temptation, and a heart full of helplessness...
The ending overturns fate, and defies easy explanation...

I highly recommend it; it's so real! If you're looking for a film about the passionate yet insecure 90s, this is definitely worth watching! You can pretty much guess who this sweet-voiced female star is; she was the nation's sweetheart back then, what a pity! I never imagined she had such an experience before she became famous!
