MENG Yun-Lao, a college student originally from Hong Kong, stays at a family friend’s house and falls in love with their daughter, Hai-Ni. Hai-Ni is born with a serious heart defect. When she is notified that Yun-Lao is heading back to Hong Kong, she suffers depression and dies. Yun-lao leads his life in despair until he meets a pop singer Hsiao-Mei, who looks exactly like Hai-Ni.
By directing Four Loves (1970) and The Silent Wife (1965), LI was the first person in the 1960s to launch Chiung-Yao’s novels onto the big screen. In the 70s he started the second wave of the Chiung-Yao film craze with The Young Ones. The Young Ones was a key critical movie that served as a link between the past and the future, and enjoys a special status in the series of Chiung-Yao movies. It is also a representative work of the actress CHEN Chen, who was given an Honorary Award in the 50th Golden Horse Film Festival.
