The survivors of this battle also included the signalman Tong Daqing (Tong Dawei) and the Taiwanese Japanese military doctor Yan Zekun (Takeshi Kaneshiro). After the Anti-Japanese War, Lei Yifang quickly fell in love with the rich lady Zhou Yunfen (Song Hye Kyo); Tong Daqing fell in love with the orphan Yu Zhen (Zhang Ziyi) who pretended to be a couple with him to take pictures and get what they wanted. Soon after they met, they went their separate ways; Yan Zekun successfully returned to Taiwan and took the "Taiping" to shuttle across the Taiwan Strait to buy medicinal materials, but he could not forget his childhood sweetheart, the Japanese girl Masako (Nagazawa Masami). The outbreak of the civil war forced Lei Yifang and Tong Daqing to return to the battlefield. Zhou Yunfen and her family took the "Taiping" to Taiwan, and began a long wait. The misfortune of history brought everyone together, and the "Taiping" became the concern of several couples in this life. This film is the first episode of "The Taiping".
