Yu He-tao and Yu He-bao were twin brothers whose father was a former high-ranking
government official in Beijing. They had completely different characters, hobbies
and political views. In 1989, the elder brother, He-tao, had become a senior army
officer while his younger brother, He-bao, had gone to Hong Kong to pursue a research
study with the world-renowned university. When the pro-democracy movement took place
in Tiananmen Square, He-tao’s prospective father-in-law was appointed the commander-in-chief
of the task force to clear the square of demonstrators and he himself the deputy
field commander. Unfortunately He-bao had also come to Beijing with the Hong Kong
delegation to give spiritual and medical support to the student demonstrators. What
would happen when two brothers confronted each other on opposite sides in the square?
