What's it about? Zhou Yu (GONG LI) is an artisan living in Sanming, an industrial town in Northwestern China. Twice a week, she takes the train over to rural Chongyang to visit her lover, a shy, handsome poet named Chen Ching (TONY LEUNG KA FAI). Inspired by Zhou's beauty, Chen has crafted a series of poems for her, which has only drawn her closer to this quiet, gentle man. On one trip to see him, she encounters a friendly young veterinarian, Dr. Zhang Jiang (SUN HONG LEI), who tries to purchase one of Zhou's ceramic vases - a gift intended for Chang that she throws to the ground rather than sell to a persistent Zhang. As the shards of the vase shatter on the floor of the train, we see the pieces of Zhou's romantic life with Chen - their first chance encounter at a dance where Chen gives her a beautiful poem before disappearing; her return to Chongyang to pursue him; their hungry lovemaking in the library where Chen works and lives; and the rush of passion as, despite the expense and inconvenience!
