Overview
In post-war Shanghai, in 1945, fighter pilot Tang Teng and Qi Pao saleswoman Shen Ying fell in love. He would do anything to stay with her, even being court marshaled for not returning to the troop. He was arrested and sentenced to death. When a family friend, Ji Wen, learned of his fate, she saved him and smuggled him to Hong Kong. Shen Ying thought he was dead and resigned to marry a man who could help her support her family. However, when the expert tailor, Lu Xiao Mao, revealed that Tang Teng was alive in Hong Kong, she dissolved the engagement and went to Hong Kong. What she found there was not a reunion but a wedding between Tang Teng and Ji Wen.
