I found love in the dream I had last night.

I met you in the dream I had last night.

We hugged in the evening sunlight.

We kissed in the rain.

But when I woke up this morning, you're gone.

There's nothing except tear stains.

My love, my love

When can we cuddle at the seaside?

Let me love you my whole life.

When can we have whispers of love?

Let me take care of you all my life.

I found love in the dream I had last night.

I met you in the dream I had last night.

We hugged in the evening sunlight.

We kissed in the rain.

But when I woke up this morning, you are gone.

There's nothing except tear stains.

You are leaving?

Bye.

To Mom

Thank you.

Is Miss Bai Mei home?

I'm Bai Mei. And you are?

My name is Yao Yao.

Mr. Liu said you would rent me a room.

So you are the girl who ran away from home...

...and came to work at the club.

Please come in.

Please wait here. Let me get the keys.

How did you get to know Mr. Liu?

His daughter was my classmate.

I forgot to tell you...

...that's my room.

In this room lives...

...a heartbroken girl. Follow me.

It's a splendid house.

My boyfriend's gift.

I wouldn't have it if it's not splendid.

He's an old man.

Where is he?

Where?

He's in prison because of smuggling.

Why did you run away from home?

My mom wants me to marry a rich man,

but I...

But you're in love with a poor guy.

Another love story,

like the story of the girl in the next room.

Let me tell you...

...only money matters in this world.

The outside world

ain't much better than your home.

I can't forget

Can't forget your faults

Can't forget your goodness

Can't forget the strolls in the rain

Can't forget the embraces in the wind

How can I help you, sir?

Can I speak to Miss Yao Yao?

Okay.

I can't forget

Can't forget your tears

Can't forget your laughter

Miss Yao Yao is here, sir.

Please sit.

Can't forget the melancholy of falling leaves

Can't forget the worries of blossoms

The lonely lane is lit by moonlight.

The empty swing rocks in the breeze.

It repeats your advice.

It's over...

Would your mom and step-father give up that easy?

I don't care.

You work at such a place. I...

It's only temporary, Li Ji,

believe me.

Go home now. The wine will cost you a fortune.

Boy

Thank you.

Go.

Okay, I will leave with the money tomorrow.

You go first.

Bye.

Bye...

What? I will compensate you for the damages.

I didn't say anything about compensation.

I just want to know how bad is the damage.

Just a small touch on your bumper.

You want compensation or not? I got to go.

So you got angry and angry,

and decided to claim the compensation after all?

I have never mentioned...

...the word compensation.

In fact my car is fine.

Then why are you...

I asked for you...

...because I want to have a closer look...

...at that fierce girl.

Heaven knows she's a pretty girl.

And?

And I want to know if you're free...

after work.

Are you rich?

No, why?

Then why should I go out with you?

I ask you to go out with me...

...because tomorrow...

...I'll leave Hong Kong...

...and you're the prettiest woman I've met.

You come from abroad?

Yes.

But you come to Hong Kong frequently?

Frequently.

On business?

You may say that.

You ask girls out...

in this way?

In Hong Kong, this is the first time.

Why me?

First, you're pretty.

Second, I don't know the reason.

I want to ask you a question

Go on.

Why did you come out with me?

I never went for a stroll with a man...

...to the Statue Square at this hour.

They usually ask me out on some purpose

and then they will give me a stack of money.

Is it strange?

This is love- Hong Kong style

You must be very rich now?

No, I love money.

My parents died when I was a child.

I was poor.

I know the importance of money

so I will do everything to make money.

Don't look at me like that.

This is the harsh reality of life.

Don't say I'm cheap.

You should think I am smart.

So, I guess I am not as pretty as...

I was when we first met.

No, you're even prettier.

Honesty is one's virtue.

At least I have no intention to tell you my secret.

But I don't want to know it.

But I hope one day...

...I can tell you that.

Why?

This is life.

Sometimes we lie to the person...

...we've known for our whole life.

But sometimes you want to tell everything...

...to a stranger you barely know.

Is it?

Yes.

It's almost dawn.

Any good place to go now?

Let's go to the seaside.

You can enjoy the sea breeze...

...and the only quiet moment in Hong Kong...

...around daybreak.

Cold?

A little.

When does your flight depart?

9:30 a.m.

Don't you need to pack up?

The ferry hasn't started operating.

Let's take a boat trip.

Good.

Can I help you?

Is Zhu Dai home?

Miss Zhu, you have guests.

Coming.

Who is it?

Is it her?

Mrs. Guan.

Beat her up

Beat her up...

Smash the place up.

Shameless, beat her up...

Who are you? Why are you beating her?

Me? I am Guan Dazhi's wife.

She seduced my husband.

I am here to teach her a lesson.

Stop.

They have separated.

You can beat her up even if they haven't.

What? Who can?

I even beat my husband at home.

You better stay away from this,

or I will skin you. Go away.

Beat her up...

Damn, skin me?

Let's see how you skin me?

Who dares to skin me now?

Get lost...

Or I'll tear off your underpants.

They were fierce. What's going on?

I don't know.

Unlike me,

she keeps everything inside...

...and never wants to speak out.

Is she really the wife of the pilot Guan?

I knew he's married.

However, when love happens

nothing can stop it.

We lived happily for a year.

You may say it's 12 painful months.

At last for his family's sake,

I gave up that dream which wouldn't come true anyhow

We separated 2 months ago.

Forever.

It's over then, isn't it?

A past love...

...is like a broken glass.

Throw it away and put it behind.

Few years' sentiments,

is it so easy to throw away?

But you must.

Bai Mei is right. Gone is gone.

You can't lock up yourself...

...for a past love.

Go out for a walk.

You may not have a destination.

But it's good for you.

Is it broken?

Try to ignite it.

Again.

Again...Good.

It's fixed.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Should I...

You want to pay me for mending your car?

If you insist,

I will send you an invoice later.

Since I don't know...

...how much I should charge you

But you can make a down payment first.

How much is it?

A dinner.

A dinner?

I live around here.

I was going to have dinner.

I know it is not appropriate.

You seem to have too much wine?

What?

Do I have to...

...repeat my words every time?

I am sorry.

Whom are you with now?

Whom am I with?

I am with you, ain't I?

No, I meant the one in your heart.

What kind of a person is he?

He's a woman's husband, a child's father.

I see, you love each other,

but he chose his family over you.

For a married man, it's not worth it.

Forget about him.

Don't lock up your heart...

...for someone you have lost.

So what? My heart is empty.

No, you'll find happiness again.

I don't want it again.

There's only pain after the happiness.

Why should I bother again?

Seems we have a lot to chat.

Let's go for a coffee at some other place

You know a better place?

My place.

Have a seat. I'll make some coffee.

1970?

Du Zhichao?

Coffee's ready.

Sugar?

No.

So you're the famous racing hero...

...Du Zhichao.

I am Du Zhichao, but I am not famous.

Why didn't you tell me?

You didn't ask.

And you didn't tell me who you're either.

I am an air hostess on holiday.

It's a splendid house.

My boss rents it for me.

Oh, you drive the car so fast in the race.

Aren't you afraid?

Of course not.

It's like you are chasing something...

...when you are in the race.

It runs so fast,

so you have to drive faster and faster...

...in order to get it.

You manage to get it every time?

No, not once.

I got some trophies only.

You seem to have an unhappy past!

I guess every one does.

You must learn from me, never stop chasing.

Chase what? Chase the lost self?

Or chase the lost love?

Whatever, but listen to me,

you must have something to live for.

I have a race in Macau next month.

If you want to have some fun,

why not go with me.

Miss, you seem nervous.

Is your boyfriend in the race?

It's your first time to a race?

No wonder. I was frightened the first time too.

Afterward, I got used to it.

Your boyfriend is in the race too?

No, my husband.

Which car?

Attention please...

Car 11 crashed at Pond Bay Corner...

Car 11 crashed at Pond Bay Corner...

Attention please...

Car 11 crashed at Pond Bay Corner...

Zhichao...

Let me in...

Zhichao, let me in.

Is true love hard to find?

Is true love hard to meet?

Let me tell you I love you.

Maybe I've disappointed you.

But we never know what will happen.

At this moment,

I am true to you.

Let's cherish our true love at the moment.

Let's remember the passion of tonight.

I'm afraid when we wake up, it may be gone.

Our love may be gone without a trace.

Is true love hard to find?

Is true love hard to meet?

Let me tell you I love you.

Maybe I've disappointed you.

But we never know what will happen.

At this moment,

I am true to you.

This place is splendid in the morning.

It's totally different from the night.

All the darkness, dirt and pretence of the last night

are all swept clean.

Why would I fall in love with you?

Why wouldn't you fall in love with me?

Because you are poor.

What's the relationship between money and love?

I thought I could never love a poor man.

But last night I learned that...

...nothing's more valuable than...

...true love.

No doubt.

Because true love is hard to find.

But you must not expect too much from it.

It won't last long.

It may be gone without a trace...

...by the next morning.

Love is never perfect.

But say, even if it's not perfect,

I am satisfied.

Bai Mei, if one day I leave you...

...and never come back, what will you do?

I will wait for you all my life.

Then I'll owe you a favour all my life.

Remember it. Don't you forget it.

I'll take the luggage to the car.

Let me help you.

It's okay. I'll wait at the car.

Okay.

Leave it to me.

Let me.

I should congratulate you.

Thank you.

Zhu Dai, do you know each other well?

I believe him, Yao Yao.

You must enjoy it when love comes.

Because when it's gone, it'll leave nothing.

Zhu Dai, what are you talking with her?

Life is short.

We should do whatever we like.

Come, Zhichao is waiting for you. Go.

Who's moving out?

Zhu Dai.

Mr. Li is here. You don't need to see me off.

Bye.

But I want...

What?

You want to leave him alone here?

Come on, let's go.

Bye.

Bye.

I forgot to tell you

I won't be home tonight. Take your time.

Bye.

Bai Mei.

It's all your fault.

You shouldn't come at this particular time.

I have good news.

What is it?

I got a pay rise.

Increment of 50 dollars.

My mom asked me to bring you home for dinner.

She wants to meet you.

Let me get changed first.

No, please don't.

I love you, Yao Yao, I need you.

I need you.

Li Ji, I have a wish.

I want to be a perfect girl.

I will only lose my virginity to my husband...

...on the wedding night.

Of course, my husband would be you.

Will you blame me for being conservative?

No, I promise you...

I want you to be the most perfect girl.

Here we are.

Please come in. Mom

This must be Miss Yao.

This is my mom.

Auntie.

Mom.

Take this for me.

Please sit, Miss Yao.

How old are you, Miss Yao?

19

Are you a student?

Mom, she's working now.

What kind of job?

She's a secretary in a company.

That's good...Good.

Mom, we have plans for tonight.

Can we have dinner earlier?

Of course. I'll prepare it now.

Let me help you.

No...

I won't walk you in. See you tomorrow.

Li Ji?

Yes?

Why did you say I was a secretary...

...in a company?

I haven't told my mom your situation yet.

You know, the elderly do mind...

Don't bother with it. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Pal, we want to have a word with you. Come along.

What's it about?

Uncle Yao?

Yao Yao is my milch cow.

If you don't stop seeing her, it has no benefit...

to you and your mother.

Mom.

Mom, are you alright?

I am fine. They only smashed the place up.

What happened to you?

I am fine.

They beat me up too.

Get up, mom.

Sit here, I will get you a glass of water.

Why did you lie to me, son?

Is it true that Miss Yao...

...left home to work at a club for you?

Mom, I've figured it all out.

When I can provide for her,

we'll get married and she'll quit the job.

How long will it take?

2 years, 5 years or 10 years?

Let's face the reality, son

Even if Miss Yao marries you,

she'll just end up like mom,

living in a public flat...

cooking and doing laundry for you her whole life.

But mom...

do you know how much I love her?

I found love in the dream I had last night.

Li Ji.

What happened to you?

I have something to say to you.

We hugged in the evening sunlight.

We kissed in the rain.

No...

Please forgive me...

There's nothing except tear stains.

Li Ji, there's a girl looking for you.

Take my place.

Now you know the story?

We blamed you wrongly.

It's okay. I don't want anyone's forgiveness.

Does Yao Yao know this?

Why bother to tell her?

Don't you feel heartbroken?

I do,

but I'd rather suffer alone,

than to drag her along.

You really think she'll be happy for that?

I don't know.

But I left her because I love her.

Yao Yao, what are you doing?

I am getting married.

Ask her whom she's getting married to

With whom?

A rich man you don't know.

Have you thought it over?

I wanted to find my true love...

...like any other girl.

Turns out...

...it's only a dream to me.

So, why do I insist on it?

If only I can lower my standard,

it doesn't matter whom I marry at all.

Yes?

I am here to pick up Miss Yao Yao.

Come in.

Here they come.

Yao Yao, Mr. Fang is here to pick you up in person.

Miss Yao, have you finished packing?

Yes.

Yao Yao, they've been waiting for you long.

Can we go, Miss Yao?

Bye.

Bye.

Thank you for taking care of Miss Yao.

Don't mention it.

Let's go.

Mr. Fang is nice.

And he's rich.

But he is missing the love from Yao Yao.

Will Yao Yao be happy as Li Ji wishes?

You're home. Miss Yao is waiting for you.

She said she had something to tell you.

I'll deliver these clothes to my customers.

Miss Yao, please make yourself comfortable.

What are you doing here?

I am getting married.

Remember what you wanted to do...

...that day in my room?

What are you doing?

I return what I owe you.

No.

You said...

...you wanted to be a perfect girl...

You said you want to give your virginity ...

...to your husband on the wedding night.

So, you should not do this.

But that night does not belong to you.

Forget it...

You really hate me that much?

No, never.

I may regret about it one day,

but now...please leave.

Please go.

Zhu Dai is right. When love comes,

we should enjoy it.

When it's gone, you can't hold it anymore.

This is life.

Destiny and your own doing

cause the sufferings.

Ah Wang...

Ah Wang...

Ah Wang...

Ah Wang...

Hurry up, it's in Li's house in Repulse Bay.

Go.

I didn't kill him because we want him...

to tell you where to find it.

After him.

What are you doing?

Do you want to bring the police here?

But we'll lose him.

Relax, I know where he'd go.

It's me.

You...

Not now.

Did you see anyone outside when you came?

No.

What happened to you?

I can't tell you now.

Bring me the bandage and wine first.

What happened to you?

Let me tell you.

I am a revolutionist.

I am here to bring the last batch of arms...

...and war funds back to the mainland.

But our enemies tracked us down.

One of my comrades was killed.

What are you going to do now?

I want to borrow your car

and hurry to some place now.

You're injured seriously. How can you drive?

Come on, I will drive you there.

No. It's too dangerous. You can't go.

I know. That's why I must go with you.

Can you speed up?

Wait here for me.

Anything happens, you drive away immediately.

No, let me check the place out first.

If anything happens, I'll say I've lost my way.

No.

I will be careful.

Are you alright?

Go...

Go.

Lu Jun?

They are...

They are with us.

Let's talk inside the house.

What happened?

Our enemies arrived half an hour ago,

luckily we found them and tackled them in time.

It's him. What time is it?

Not much time left. Where is the money?

In there.

Who are they?

They are my comrades.

Here is the money. The arms are in the garden.

Where's the boat?

Awaiting us at the Caohekeng Pier...

to take us to the ship waiting in the high seas.

Our boat is here. Move it.

Bai Mei, thank you for your help tonight.

You have to go now?

When will you come back?

Don't ask.

I don't know if we'll succeed.

If I owe you anything...

...and can't come back to you,

I will pay you back in the next life.

Why must there be wars in this world?

Lu Jun, the boat has to go.

Bye.

I will wait for you my whole life.

Alright, I promise you I'll come back.

I will come back to you.

Bye.

Lu Jun, we must go now.

Lu Jun...

Cathay Pacific Airways CX520 for Taipei...

Repulse Bay, please.

Zhichao.

Zhichao.

Zhichao.

Zhichao, why didn't you answer me?

I didn't hear you.

What's wrong?

I lost my job.

My boss blamed me for last year's accident...

...and terminated the contract with me.

How about this year's race?

It's none of my business now.

I sat here alone to savour...

...the taste of failure.

I spent my whole life on race tracks.

Now they take me away from the tracks.

I can't find a place for myself in this world.

Can't you buy a car yourself?

I nearly had enough money to buy one once,

but I didn't.

Now I don't have the money.

Let me buy it for you.

My mother left me a flat.

I can sell it, then we'll have the money.

Let a woman buy me a car?

How can you say that?

Am I just another woman...

...to you?

You said before...

...that we must have something to live for.

It doesn't matter if it's your money or mine.

Zhu Dai, wouldn't that mean I owe you a lot?

Please don't say that, Zhichao.

Actually, if you must put it that way,

I just return what I owe you.

No, Zhu Dai, I owe you...

It's life.

Sometimes, you owe me a favour.

Other times, I owe you a favour.

And I may not be able to return the favour...

...because life is too short.

Yao Yao, come in.

You look prettier after the honeymoon.

You called me to come.

Anything urgent?

Look.

Zhu Dai.

Yao Yao.

How are you?

The same.

Come sit here.

I asked you to come today...

...because Zhu Dai needs help.

You know anyone who wants to buy a flat?

I need money.

Why?

Zhichao can't find a sponsor for this year's race.

I want to buy him a car.

Zhu Dai, the flat is your only property.

You must think it thoroughly.

I can do anything for him.

How much do you need?

150 to 200 grand.

Well, here is 200. You keep your flat.

Pay me back when you have the money.

Yao Yao, have you found happiness?

No, I have money, but not happiness.

Great.

Miss Zhu, 2 minutes 8 seconds

It's a new record.

Mr. Du will win the race for sure.

Zhichao.

Miss Zhu.

You don't remember me, do you?

You are...

We met at the last race.

You can't remember?

The day Zhichao had an accident.

Yes. That's right.

How is Zhichao?

He's good.

Your husband is one of the drivers?

Which car?

Number 11.

Number 11? Zhichao?

Right, Du Zhichao is my husband.

Zhu Dai...

Zhu Dai, what are you doing here alone?

I am waiting for you.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I have something to say to you.

What's it?

Let's get married.

Did you hear me? Let's get married.

Why do you want to get married suddenly?

Can't we?

Of course we can.

But let's talk about it tomorrow...

...after the race.

Why tomorrow?

After tomorrow,

it seems everything will settle down.

And I am going to tell you something...

...tomorrow night.

Tell me you are married?

You are married...

...to an only child of a millionaire in England.

And we haven't divorced and will never divorce.

Why can't you let me go?

Why couldn't you let me go until now?

So she really is your wife?

Zhu Dai...I...

Don't come near me.

I never ask much from this world.

All I want is true love.

I don't blame if you're married.

But why can't you tell me early?

Zhu Dai, I...

Don't say anything, Zhichao

Why did you love me? Why did you lie to me?

Zhu Dai...

Zhu Dai...

Zhu Dai...

The car hasn't been fixed.

Zhu Dai...

Zhu Dai...

It's life.

Sometimes, you owe me a favour.

Other times, I owe you a favour.

And I may not be able to return the favour...

...because life is too short.

Liar, bastard, you...

Please don't, Bai Mei.

You blame me wrongly. I really love Zhu Dai.

I left my wife...

...3 years ago.

Her family is very rich.

I felt like I was something they bought.

I know you can't get along with Yingni anymore.

But if you can keep the relationship...

...and won't leave her,

I will give you 5 million.

Why?

To keep our family's reputation.

But to keep my self-respect and dignity,

I still want a divorce.

Since the goal in our life

is far different between us.

Why didn't you tell Zhu Dai before?

I was going to tell her everything...

...after the race.

But we met 3 years too late...

...and Yingni arrived a day too early.

Why is it always like this in love?

I envy Li Ji.

Yao Yao, Li Ji loves you in fact.

Miss Yao.

Auntie, how are you? Is Li Ji home?

He left for southeast Asia half a year back.

Forget about him, Miss Yao.

You live a happy life now, don't you?

Happy?

Can I help you?

You don't remember me?

I am a friend of Lu Jun.

I bring you something from him.

Please come in.

Drink?

No, thank you.

Come on.

No, thank you.

Okay, then.

How is Lu Jun?

What is it that you bring me?

Please...don't open it.

Why?

Those are Lu Jun's ashes.

He told me when he was dying...

...to bring his ashes to you.

He wanted to be with you forever, so...

It gets dark. I got to go.

I have many letters to deliver.

Bye.

Wait.

Did you succeed?

Even I'm not sure of that.

They have begun peace negotiations.

My love, my love

When can we cuddle at the seaside?

Let me love you my whole life.

When can we have whispers of love?

Let me take care of you all my life.

I found love in the dream I had last night.

I met you in the dream I had last night.

We hugged in the evening sunlight.

We kissed in the rain.

But when I woke up this morning, you're gone!

There's nothing except tear stains.
