Atao (Zhang Jingchu), a young girl, is slim and graceful, but also has a good voice. Her beautiful singing is deeply loved by the villagers, and her father loves her like the apple of his eye. A family of three originally lived a happy life. However, in those days, although the US-Vietnam War had ended, the damage continued. ...
Atao's father fought in the Vietnam War. One day, A Tao took a fancy to a red kite and bought it. Unexpectedly, when flying a kite in the wild, I unfortunately stepped on a mine and was killed alive. Seeing his father's death with his own eyes, Atao, covered in blood, was greatly stimulated in his young mind. Such a tragic experience also caused her mental retardation.
1997, China-Vietnam border.
When she grew up, Atao took a boat to the massage room run by Aunt Ashui (Loretta Lee) in China and started as a cleaner. Although water is snobbish, it still takes care of this niece. On the other hand, A Tao, who is pure in nature, attracts the attention of the Vietnamese gangster Sabah (Li Xiuxian). Looking at this silly but simple Vietnamese girl, Sabah's cold heart began to melt, and she even had the idea of taking care of Atao for a lifetime.
On one occasion, due to the police's pursuit, Atao mistakenly broke into the home of xia (Nick Cheung), a vendor who sang in a karaoke booth to solicit business. Even because xia had the same mole on his forehead, he took xia as his father. After that, the two men started a war to grab "Dad's hat". Coincidentally, xia heard Atao's singing. He found that Atao's singing could bring him good business, so he made a deal with Ah Shui to let Atao live in xia's house. So xia helped Atao get a temporary residence permit and taught her to sing "The Moon Represents My Heart", so that Atao could sing in her karaoke booth to attract business. Soon, the songs of innocent Vietnamese girls attracted more and more listeners, and people who asked to sing with Atao lined up. However, due to Ah Tao's natural beauty, many womanizers took advantage of him, and xia was full of dissatisfaction and even fought. ...
Abortion, xia's former lover, came back, evoking xia's sad past. It turns out that Abortion and xia originally belonged to a Yunnan Opera Troupe. With the arrival of market economy and entertainment blockbusters, fewer and fewer people watch Yunnan opera, and the troupe has to be dissolved. Abortion married a boss in Kunming and left xia. Looking at Asha drinking Menjiu with tears on her face, Atao began to cry. That night, Tao had a nightmare that her father was killed, so she hid in Asha's arms. ...
On this day, xia took his lover Jen to make out at home, and shut Atao out to wash clothes. Some angry A Tao rushed in desperately and threw all their clothes and shoes into the street. Asha got angry and kicked Atao out. However, he didn't realize that they had developed attachment, affection or love sooner or later.
Sabah's men robbed Ah Tao because they felt that poor Sabah wanted to take good care of Ah Tao, but when Sabah, the underworld boss, shot viciously, Ah Tao, who was hiding behind the door, was scared again. Sabah's kind image in Atao's heart plummeted, so he fled while going to the toilet.
Tao escaped and found Asha. Out of pity or some unspeakable emotion, xia took her to her hometown Yaozhai and attended the wedding of relatives and friends. At this time, she learned from Ashuikou that Sabah sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Ah Tao everywhere, so they set off again. Asha's shoes were washed away by the river on the way. Atao bought him a brand-new pair of leather shoes with the money he saved on weekdays, but he lost with Asha. When the long train passed through their eyes, they finally found each other and they couldn't help hugging each other. ...
Sabah's people finally found Tao, and Asha was badly beaten. When Sabah pointed a gun at Asha's head, Atao, who was tied to the car, struggled desperately, but to no avail, Asha fell down. Tao mistakenly thought that Sabah killed Asha, so he picked up the pistol that Sabah put in the car and shot it to avenge Asha. ...
Asha was taken away by the police, and Atao chased the police car crazily. She bit xia's finger hard, which reminded xia of the marriage customs of Yao couples in her hometown. Asha went to prison, but Atao was gone. No one knows where she went, including Ah Shui. On this day, Asha seemed to hear Atao's wonderful singing in the labor camp. With this melodious voice, Asha can't find Tao. At this moment, gunfire rang out. ...
