In 1998 Taipei, as old neighborhoods disappear and the last mainland veterans fade, Liu Bin runs a modest beef noodle shop. Once a Chinese chess (Xiangqi) champion who crossed the strait in 1949, he never returned home.
When Yixuan, a lonely boy raised by his single father, begins learning Xiangqi from him, an unexpected bond takes root. Across generations and different pasts, they become each other’s most important companion.
On the chessboard, a pawn that crosses the river cannot turn back. Some moves cannot be undone, and some encounters shape a lifetime.

As one sister prepares for marriage and the other resists every convention it represents, their fragile bond is tested by love, family expectations, and the question of whether happiness can ever truly be chosen.

A young man is paralysed from the waist down after a car accident. He begins to recover and his family's life improves due to the compensation. Just when the young man's life steadily returns to normal, a tumor is found in his brain. The surgery fails, and he dies. Forced to relive the pain and struggles, each family member contemplates how to rediscover their own place and balance in their ordinary daily life again.

The Chen family, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, move from China to Taiwan and open a clinic beside the Ng family's Western-medicine practice. Polite but distant, the two households clash over language, medicine, and manners—until romance complicates everything. As the Chen sons fall for the Ng daughter and the family's child bride, misunderstandings multiply before three couples finally receive their families' blessing. An early film by Lee Hsing, it mixes postwar cultural friction, multilingual humour, and the warm comic touch that would later define his work.
