Along the banks of the Suzhou River, which winds precariously through Shanghai, Mardar falls in love with a dramatically beautiful young woman named Moudan. When he tries to kidnap her to demand ransom money from her rich father, she escapes him, jumping into the river, and disappearing forever. Mardar serves a three-year jail sentence for his attempted crime. Upon his release, he meets a woman that looks exactly like Moudan, named MeiMei.
