In the late period of the Cultural Revolution, on a river ship sailing from Chongqing to Wuhan, several people with different agendas were in the same room: the poet Qiu Shi (Li Zhixing), who had been imprisoned for six years on trumped-up charges, was secretly escorted by investigators Liu Wenying (Zhang Yu) and Li Yan (Qiang Ming), and the road ahead was uncertain; the old lady (Ouyang Ru) Qiu)'s only son was killed in a fight, and she boarded the ship to mourn her son's death; rural girl Xinghua was forced to "sell herself to pay off her debts," and she burst into tears thinking about her sweetheart... Because Liu Wenying and Li Yan presented themselves as "typical revolutionary young generals" and wily and wily, respectively, they were not allowed to be seen by others. In addition, a little girl sneaked onto the boat unprepared. Xinghua's tragic experience made everyone very angry, but they were unable to do anything, and the old lady's strength failed to impress her. Later, she jumped into the river to end her life. After Qiu Shi rescued her ashore, he told his love story with Liu Gu (Zhao Jing). After hearing this, Xinghua regained the courage to live. Qiu Shi, who had disregarded life and death, never expected that his life would be bright again: police officer Mr. Wang (Zhong Xinghuo) won the trust of the little girl. The little girl came on board to find her father, and based on the evidence she said of her search, Mr. Wang determined that she was Qiu Shi's daughter. When everyone was worried about Qiu Shi's safety, their conscience was tortured.
