Yao Chen

Sheng Nan (Yao Chen) is over 30 and single – meaning many people in her native China consider her a “leftover woman,” someone who has little chance of getting married or having children. To make matters worse, she discovers she has ovarian cancer, and is short on money to fund the surgery she needs. She tries to put this right by finding a job as a ghostwriter for an older male millionaire who inhabits a massive mountainside mansion. Things get awkward when he appears to take an interest in her mother, who accompanies Sheng Nan on trips to the mansion.

Meanwhile, Sheng Nan learns that the operation will make it difficult to feel any pleasure during physical intimacy, and becomes keen to explore her sexuality before undergoing surgery. She begins to wonder just who she wants to partner with, but starts to consider possible candidates, including a young male friend named Si Mao (Li Jiu Xiao). Will any of them prove worth enough for her...as time begins to run out?

Send Me to the Clouds

💞 Enjoy while you can 💞

In 1937, shortly after the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Imperial Japanese Army invaded Shanghai. After more than three months of brutal fighting, the Japanese army showed no signs of weakening. Suffering heavy losses, the Chinese army was forced to make an impossible decision: retreat and lose the city, or stay and risk being entirely overrun.&nbsp;

In an act of unprecedented bravery, Lieutenant Colonel Xie Jin Yuan (Du Chun) of the 524th Regiment, of the poorly equipped 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, led 452 young officers and soldiers into battle. Knowing their mission would undoubtedly fail, the brave young men followed their Lieutenant Colonel to the Sihang Warehouse. There they made their last stand against the 3rd Imperial Japanese Division, a division consisting of nearly 20,000 troops. Against impossible odds, these 400 soldiers held out against the relentless Japanese army for four days, providing the rest of the Chinese army the time they needed to retreat.

Though these brave men ultimately lost the battle, their stand at the Sihang Warehouse would bolster the morale of the Chinese army and earn them a place in history as legendary heroes.

Su Fei (Zhang Zi Yi) spends her days working as a telephone booking clerk at a travel agency but by night, she’s a comic book artist who whiles the hours away, sketching the romantic adventures of her cartoon self - a dashing secret agent.

Always nagged by her parents to stop wasting time dreaming of the perfect man and go out to get one, Su Fei finds comfort in the company of her best friends, Lily (Yao Chen), Lu Xiaoxi (Ruby Lin), and Xixi (Ada Choi). When she unexpectedly wins a five-day, all-expenses-paid trip to a luxurious hotel in Singapore, Su Fei invites her best friends on an adventure of a lifetime. But when they all ditch her at the last minute, she has no choice but to go on this adventure alone.

On her way to Singapore, Su Fei runs into a Chinese-American secret agent, Yan Dawei (Leehom Wang), the living embodiment of her cartoon dream man.

Falling head-over-heels for Dawei, Su Fei follows him to a rooftop party where, through a series of misunderstandings and a bad case of mistaken identity, she finds herself in possession of the precious gem. Caught up in a whirlwind adventure to rival those of her comics, Su Fei must rely on Dawei and his techie sidekick Bo (Zheng Kai), to outwit the bad guys and save the world from certain doom.
