In 1988 Shanghai, writer Shen Shaohua falls for political prisoner Zhang Nengcai amidst social upheaval. Defying conventions, Shaohua funds Nengcai's escape with her royalties, only to be separated by war and misunderstandings. As she waits in vain at the pier for three days, Nengcai gazes hopelessly from a Taiwan-bound ship. Forty years later, the gray-haired Nengcai returns to Shanghai, discovering an unused ferry ticket tucked in Shaohua's published novel - the ticket he never got to deliver.
