ABOUT EVERLASTING REGRET
Synopsis: Based on Wang Anyi’s Changhen Ge, the multi-award winning novel that was voted the most influential work of the 90s in China. Everlasting Regret follows a legendary Shanghai beauty from her glamorous days to her simpler life, as she struggles to preserve the dignity of her past while surviving the constant betrayal of her men. She stands tall and proud as she bears witness to the waves of changes to her city from 1947 to 1981, until one wave finally overwhelms her.
A person's life is destined to be shorter than that of a city. Having spent her whole life in Shanghai, Qiyao (Sammi Cheng) had her moments of prosperity and her fair share of loneliness. She finally faded and disappeared but Shanghai remains a metropolitan city.
Shanghai in the 1940s was glamorous and seductive. A pretty young girl from an ordinary family, Qiyao was lucky enough to win the 2nd runner-up of the "Miss Shanghai" contest. Mr. Cheng (Tony Leung Ka Fai), her admirer as well as a photographer who assisted her to her success, knew the girl was going to live an extraordinary life. It turned out she was going to witness the decades of changes to her city.
