Jia Kun leads a simple life in the mountains of China with his elderly father, an existence that is altered when a young mute woman Yu Chen arrives in the village. Initially, she is blamed for a subsequent accident that robbed Jia Kun's father of his eyesight, but eventually the village folk take the timid newcomer to their hearts. The mute girl reveals that she has come to track down her brother, though she stays much longer and helps out Jia Kun in his current plight. Gradually, the two forge a close bond even though they are unable to communicate with one another properly. Nevertheless, it seems that Yu Chen begins to develop feelings for Jia Kun while his heart is reserved for his unrequited love Zhu Ling. (Source: FarEastFilms.com; kaisrexci at XuongPhim)
