A student of Beijing Normal University, An Ran (Sandra Ma) was a pretty typical university student. She worked hard at her studies but she wasn’t opposed to taking a break to have a little fun; especially not when her favorite band was playing just across town. Desperate to see this once-in-a-lifetime show, An Ran fights her way through the crowd of overly excited fans mobbing the stadium, but without a ticket, she has no hope of getting in. At least not until a handsome stranger steps in and offers her a seat next to him. Without hesitation, An Ran accepts and in that moment her life changes forever.

A Taiwanese photographer with a studio in Beijing, Qi Xiao (Wallace Huo) couldn’t help but be drawn to the pretty girl he noticed trying to get into the concert. When she accepted the ticket he offered, his heart leapt and the time they spent together that evening would stay with him forever. That was in 1991. Today, things for An Ran and Qi Xiao are very different than what they imagined they would be, all those years ago.

A once-famous talk show host, An Ran, now a widow, lives in California with her estranged teenage daughter, Yu Xiaonian (Vicky Chen). When An Ran’s father becomes ill, Xiaonian returns to Beijing to care for him. While there, she discovers a collection of letters and photographs that tell the story of An Ran and Qi Xiao’s love; a love that was torn apart by family obligations, government restrictions, and the cruel interference of others. When these glimpses of the past combine with Xiaonian’s own memories she begins to see her mother in a whole new light. Will the truth of An Ran’s past be enough to heal the breach between them?

Growing up in Beijing, Zhang Baoqing (Karry Wang) had no idea what the world was like outside the bustling city he called home. Unfamiliar with the ways of the world beyond the city, and completely ignorant of the dangers in nature, he was the least likely to ever venture beyond the familiar neighborhood. But when his beloved teacher falls ill, venture he must.

Determined to find the cure for his ailing teacher, Baoqing sets off for a remote village, nestled deep within the mountains, in hopes of finding the medicine that will cure the teacher. With no clue how to survive in the wild, Baoqing leaves all he knows behind, completely unaware of the dangers that await him.

As he journeys through the wilds, Baoqing befriends two eagle hunters, Cai Gua (Vicky Chen) and her younger brother Er Bizi (Zheng Hao). Together the intrepid trio scour the snowy mountains in search of the medicine that will save Baoqing’s teacher. Along the way, Baoqing comes across an egg that hatches into a majestic white eagle.

He must work with the cool-headed secret agent Ruo Yun (Zhang Jing Chu) if he is to complete the task.

With rival spies from the Soviet Union also on the hunt for the relic, the duo must also seek help from a wizened con artist named Shi Fo (Tengger) and his wife (Liu Xiao Qing).

As the hunt intensifies, can the quartet succeed in their important quest?
