The director wanted to shoot a story about first love, and found a screenwriter to talk about the script together. The story begins in 1977, the heroine Xiaorou is only 17 years old, and the male protagonist Haojun is only 19 years old. Haojun was not admitted to college last year, and he reviewed for another year to continue sprinting. But he spends far more time on the guitar than on learning, until Haojun sees Xiaorou, and everything is broken. Through a transparent glass window, Haojun saw Xiao Rou crashing into the glass window, but Xiao Rou didn't know it. The two met again in the singing hall of a group of young people who love to play music, Haojun and Xiaorou spoke, and Xiaorou took the initiative. Haojun also thought that this relationship was initiated by Xiaorou, and later, Haojun also got on the ship of love. The two of them love passionately, truly, and darkly.
Throughout, the two did not have a physical relationship. Other than that, anything that should have happened between lovers happened, they hugged each other and slept in their clothes, they counted the stars in the sky together, they warmed each other on a cold day, they kissed in a small corner. Xiao Rou's good friend Chen Li likes Xiao Rou deeply, but she has never shown it. She is interspersed in the world of Haojun and Xiaorou like a light bulb, she is a good excuse for Xiaorou to lie to her family, and she is also the microphone for Xiaorou and Haojun. One night, Haojun and Xiaorou listened to the sound of sex in the next room until dawn, but this wonderful night became the main reason for the two to break up. Adults are always pointing fingers at children falling in love, and even hindering children from falling in love. In the end, in desperation, Xiaorou and Haojun broke up. Director CheryL told the screenwriter that at the same time, Chen Li expressed her love to Xiaorou. Xiaorou, who suffered from the lovelorn, couldn't accept Chen Li's same-sex love for a while, and slapped Chen Li. This made Chen Li very sad. And on that day, Xiaorou lost two people who loved her at the same time. The screenwriter was very surprised when he heard it.
Many years later, Haojun gave up his dream of going to university and went to Japan alone. In Japan, Haojun met Xiao Rou by chance, and Xiao Rou was already a buyer of a fashion company in Hong Kong at this time. However, this time they did something together that they hadn't done many years ago, owning each other and leaving a grim mark on each other. Even though, they all know that they have their own feelings for each other.
At this point in the story, the screenwriter and director seem to feel too heavy, or have forgotten one person, that is, Chen Li. Chen Li also went to Japan and married Haojun, and the two still slept in separate beds. One day, Chen Li asked for a divorce. Tell Haojun that what she has been thinking about in her heart is Xiaorou, and she loves Xiaorou far more than Haojun. What's more, she and Haojun are in love with the same woman, so it's painful for the two to stay together. The director received a fax from Japan that Chen Li had died of brain cancer. Xiao Rou is Chen Li's 20-year old friend who can't forget, and Xiao Rou has given Chen Li memories that she can't give up for a lifetime. Until she died, she was still ecstatic, because she had loved Xiaorou, and this same-sex love had been insisted on by her for many, many years.
The director received a gift with a wish: This is the day I miss you, give it all to you.
This is the Taiwanese drama film "Heartbeat" released in 1999, director: Zhang Aijia Starring: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Gigi Leung, Karen Mok, Zhang Aijia
