Liu Yang He, a landmark in Hunan province, is not only the film’s original title but also a well-known Communist folk song in China.

Kah-kah (Rain Lau) was permanently injured in an industrial accident during that time. When Kah-kah meets this amputated client (Ko Hon-man), they feel sympathy with each other and turn this sympathy into a possibility of love as if they were flowing into a river of no return.
