Ash Is Purest White

In early 2000s Datong, Qiao (Zhao Tao) was enjoying life on society’s margins--and torrid romance--with her gangster boyfriend Bin (Liao Fan). However, her discharging of a gun to break up an attack on him brought her five years in prison...and her post-release attempts to track him down would take her to the present day and across a China she would scarcely recognize.
