Nan shao yi (1987)

Overview

The famous courtesan (played by Xue Zhilun) admires the actor (played by Tony Leung Ka-fai) and visits him every day to support him and bring him soup. One night, the actor noticed her, and they fell deeply in love. However, the actor was heartless, and over time, he grew tired of her. In a fit of rage, the courtesan hanged herself. The actor regretted his actions, but it was too late. He could only row his boat along the river, burning everything that reminded him of her, hoping to make amends.
