The Lovers

“Life is fleeting as a butterfly.”

Why would a girl from a wealthy family be sent to a boarding school dressed as a boy? In 337 A.D., during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chu Ying Tai (Charlie Yeung Choi-nei) is disguised that way so she can be educated, and there she meets Liang Shan Po (Nicky Wu), a poor, handsome, hardworking student. Tsui Hark follows their growing closeness, and everything between them depends on a secret she has to keep.
