Director : Pan Lei
Synopsis
Ling Yun played as a successful businessman and was married with a kid. However, he felt "emptiness" in life as he could hardly find anyone to share his feelings. His wife was too addicted to gambling and his kid was too young to understand his inner world.
His 'emptiness' was preoccupied with Chiang Feng, a married woman whom he met at a party. When he learned how Chiang was being ill-treated by her brutal husband, his sympathy towards her had developed into love.
Soon the husband came to know of their relationship. He further tortured Chiang physically and mentally to the extent that she had ended in an asylum. The husband finally agreed to file a divorce upon seeing her aggravated mental conditions.
One year passed and Ling Yun continued to be with Chiang until her recovery. It was a miracle that she recovered, but she had yet to expect being confronted by Ling's family and accused of breaking up their family.
Stress and social pressures had driven Chiang to end her life, leaving Ling Yun all alone in the memory lane......
