Plot/Synopsis

Manchuria 1941: Caught sleeping with his Japanese major’s mistress, Manchurian collaborator Tung Fei (Jackson Liu Hsiu-hsien) fatally shoots the man and flees for his life. Overcome by fatigue after hours of travel on horseback, Tung eventually awakens to find himself under the care of hunter Suen (Dick Wei) and his daughter, Ironic (Shu Qi). Hiding his true identity, Tung is invited to stay on with the family until he has recovered. Joining in on a guerilla raid, Tung’s ruse is compromised and he is forced to kill Ironic’s lover, Little Tiger Wang. Suen was crippled in the attack and Ironic (now pregnant with Wang’s child) agrees to her father’s request that she marry Tung, in order that they have a healthy man to provide for them. (Read more)
