Shanghai, 1930. Mr. TANG (Li Boatian), the
godfather chief of the underground triad, is
the city's overlord. He controls the opium and
prostitution trade and owns the most beautiful
prostitute-singer in Shanghai, XIAO JINBAO
(Gong Li) as his mistress. Fourteen-year-old
boy TANG SHUISHENG (Wang Xiao Xiao) was brought
by his uncle into the TANG Brotherhood. His job
is to watch on Xiao Jinbao. Ultimately,
Shuisheng becomes the only person to whom Xiao
Jinbao can talk openly and whose relationship
with her is not motivated by power or greed.
The group's number two man, SONG (Shun Chun),
tries to take control of the gang, the city and
Xiao Jinbao. In secret, Xiao Jinboa becomes his
mistress. Song set a trap for Mr. Tang and the
latter escapes to an island with Xiao Jinbao
and Shuisheng. On the island, Xiao Jinbao makes
friend with a widow and her daughter. The once
Queen on stage now finds pure happiness by
singing a nursery rhyme with the little girl
and Shuisheng ── the happiness long lost and
too fragile to last, under the shadow of power
struggle.
