| | Beijing, 1988. On the cusp of middle-age, Chen Handong heads a fast-growing trading company and plays as hard as he works. Few know that Handong's tastes run more to boys than girls. Lan Yu is a country boy, newly arrived in Beijing to study architecture. More than most students, he is short of money and willing to try anything to earn some.
Handong insists that he wants a play-mate, not a lifelong companion. Meanwhile, he showers expensive gifts on Lan Yu, expecting to deflect the boy's love by turning it into gratitude or dependency. Lan Yu is undeterred, until the night he catches Handong with another boy. They meet again on the night of June 4th, 1989. Handong goes looking for Lan Yu, worried that he might have been caught up in the army's murderous sweep through Tiannmen Square. Handong gives Lan Yu his most lavish gifts yet and they begin living together as a couple. But again, Handong shies away and enters a whirlwind romance with Jingping, a professional translator and marries her.
Handong is soon in trouble with the authorities and Lan Yu sells his villa and car to bail him out, but fate plays cruel tricks.
