Synopsis :
In this adaptation of an Eileen Chang novel, cheerful Gu Manzhen (Jacklyn Wu) and introverted Shen Shijun (Leon Lai) are in love in 1930s Shanghai. But Shijun’s parents are opposed to a union because Manzhen’s sister, Gu Manlu (Anita Mui), works as an escort to support her family. Manlu devises a scheme to get Manzhen pregnant by her husband Zhu Hongcai (Ge You). Meanwhile, Shijun marries his cousin Shi Cuizhi (Annie Wu), who comes from a family of comparable status to his own. A decade later, the ex-lovers meet. Love has run out, leaving sorrow. With a shrewd use of narrative viewpoints and monologues, Eighteen Springs proves itself a successful adaptation of Chang’s work.
