In The Dreamer, Chow Yun Fat plays the conductor Song Yu. During the cruel exhibition of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, he felt deja vu about them. When he saw Yue Xiang, a jewelry designer, all his memories came back. Originally, he was going to marry his girlfriend Lihua, but in a performance, he suddenly had hallucinations.
In fact, as early as more than two thousand years ago, Yuexiang died for Song Yu. After their memories are restored, they often get together, and when they are together, they will recall things related to the past. However, with the increasing number of parties, Song Yu's fiancee Lihua could not accept these blows and finally chose to commit suicide. This ending of Lihua seems to be repeating the plot of Yue Xiang's suicide for Song Yu.
