The ups and downs and bitterness of the life of a generation of film stars, Ruan Lingyu, from her brilliant screen career to her disheartening personal life, have all become topics for future generations to remember and discuss endlessly.

This film's director, Stanley Kwan, uses a documentary-style shooting method, interweaving scenes from Ms. Ruan Lingyu's original films with those featuring Maggie Cheung as well as interviews with old film professionals and Maggie Cheung's own feelings, creating a sense of beauty and artistic conception through changes in time and space, making one can't help but feel sorry and reflect on the life of this generation of beauties.
