The ancient world's first femme fatale, Pan Jinlian (played by Joey Wong), is dismembered and her soul goes to the underworld, yet she remains obsessed with revenge. As she crosses the Bridge of Forgetfulness, she overturns Meng Po's soup and leaps into the unknown of reincarnation. In this life, during the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, the ballet troupe's star, Shan Yulian (also played by Joey Wong), is brutally raped by the troupe leader and sent to a rural shoe factory. She only seeks a peaceful life but is destined to live a life full of turmoil. Moving from the mainland to Hong Kong, three men in her life—Wu Long (played by Lin Junxian), Wu Ruda (played by Eric Tsang), and Simon (played by Dan Liwen)—seem to be merely shadows of a past life. Will the tragic fate repeat itself? Will the drifting woman in modern times walk the same old path from a thousand years ago? Can the so-called revenge truly be fulfilled? Where will the intertwined loves and hates lead? This film, released in 1989 and adapted from the famous Hong Kong author Li Bihua's novel of the same name, carefully continues the work's glamorous, mysterious, yet deeply incisive style while inevitably introducing various commercial elements of Hong Kong cinema. However, while focusing on entertainment, it also emphasizes the exploration of human nature and the delicate psychology of women. The cinematography is rich, the visuals are both surreal and realistic, and the interplay between two different time periods creates a more emotionally resonant transmission of information. It's worth watching.
