This film was a collaboration between Chinese and Japanese artists. It is based on the true story of the thirty year game of Go between the masters Kuang Yishan and Rinsaku Matsunami. The story reflects the great tragedy of World War II in Asia, and the deeply rooted relationships between the people of China and Japan.
