Taiwanese filmmaker, Hou Hsiao Hsien’s critically acclaimed movie portrays Ay-yuan and Ah-yun who grow up together in the small mining town of Jiufen which is in economic decline. After graduating from junior high school, Ah-yuan leaves for Taipei where he finds work as an apprentice in a printing house and attends school at night. Ah-yun also leaves for Taipei to work as an assistant seamstress in a tailor’s shop. Living in the big city presents difficulties for both of them. Ah-yuan is drafted into military service and on the eve of his departure, Ah-yan gives him a special present — 1096 self addressed and stamped envelopes — wishing him to write her every day during the three year military service period.
