A university is a door through which university students will step into the society and experience the change of the world and self-consciousness. Meanwhile, they will suffer from various ordeals and struggles. Facing with the unfamiliar society, Houjue and Lisa, two enthusiastic young men, prefer the absolutely emotional predisposition. They are intimate friends, depending on each other. However, Houjue is ambitious, and when the indigent condition makes his dreams unrealized, he feels helpless. Harsh reality is tearing up his heart. Lisa deeply loves Houjue and believes in unselfish love. He makes a deal with Zhaoding, the third party, with his body, hoping that that will help Houjue to make his dreams come into true and change their economic condition.
But finally Houjue finds what happened. Misunderstanding between them becomes deeper and deeper and their love is at the edge of ending. Holding extreme views, Houjue decides to kill Zhaoding. However, when he is going to kill Zhaoding, unexpected thing happens dramatically…
According to “ the event of Ma Jiajue”, the director directs a traditional homosexual love story. But the imagination of the director is bold and the directing style is objective and innovating. The depiction of love and violence scenes presents the beauty existing in the homosexual love. The way the director deals with the religious music, ruthlessly killing golden fish, blood calligraphy and burning calligraphy work to die for love shows that, with charitable humanity, he focuses on the beauty of the tragic scene and the heroism of the personality.
