Plot summary
Sha Gen works construction in Tibet and is traveling home to marry. He refuses to send his savings by remittance and carries five years of wages, ¥60,000, on the train, and he announces the sum in a crowded street. Wang Bo and Wang Li, lovers and skilled thieves, take notice. Wang Bo wants the money as a last job before they quit, while Wang Li, pregnant with their child, is moved by Sha Gen's innocence and decides to protect him. Hu Li, known as Uncle Li, boards with a gang of thieves and orders them not to work the train. Sha Gen himself knows nothing of the danger around him.
