Synopsis

Chun and Dong are brothers with totally different personalities. After entering their middle age, they have long been estranged from each other. Dragged by his work and family, the older brother Chun is busy all the time. Yet the younger brother Dong idles almost every day, living on his father’s heritage.

After learning about his terminal illness, Dong suggests traveling to Yanagawa with Chun. Chun
reluctantly accepts Dong’s proposal after Dong pleads with him again and again, and Chun finds
out the reason behind his proposal. The woman that they both loved in their youth now lives in
Yanagawa (Liu Chuan in Mandarin), which shares her name: A-Chuan. About twenty years ago, A-Chuan moved to Beijing with her parents from southern China and became Chun and Dong’s neighbor and Chun’s girlfriend. However, A-Chuan disappeared from their life all of a sudden. As nobody knows why A-Chuan left, she has become a mystery in their lives.

Chun and Dong finally meet A-Chuan in a bar in Yanagawa. Yet she seems neither surprised to meet them nor sentimental about the past. Chun and A-Chuan are intimate as before, yet Dong seems to the know real reason of her departure. Can he find a way out for his deeply hidden love for A-Chuan in Yanagawa? The light-hearted Chun and the silent and eccentric Dong, which would A-Chuan choose?
