| Overview: | Wandering through the Great Wall, the Imperial Palace, the Tienanmen Square, as well as the chic embassy districts are our three main characters: Yang Yin, a starry-eyed dance girl in search of love; Ping Lu, an impetuous Beijing rock and roll singer in search of recognition; and Michael, a Hong Kong-born and overseas-educated composer in search of himself.
Through the precarious journey of these three characters, we see the delicate love-hate relationship among people from different walks of life--dreamers, doers, whiners, money-grabbers, winners, and losers. A totally different Beijing--young and restless, romantic and colorful, fragile and daring--is revealed for the first time against the powerful beat of Chinese rock and roll.
