On the night when his lover (played by Maggie Cheung) married his elder brother in a fit of pique, Ouyang Feng (played by Leslie Cheung) left the White Camel Mountain dejectedly and walked into a small town in the desert, becoming a middleman for assassins. His friend, the romantic swordsman Huang Yaoshi (played by Tony Leung Ka-fai), would come to the small town every year to drink heartily with him. The news about the White Camel Mountain in their drunken conversations gradually turned his attempt to forget the past into self-deception.
