Young Wang has received plenty of wisdom from his beloved uncle: don't take life too seriously, get out on the road when you can, and everyone gets just seven great loves in their life - so don't blow it. This last one sticks with Young as he is an obsessive cataloger of his life - all filtered through Chinese numerology and superstition. At the end of 1995, Young meets Erena and as their relationship blossoms, we get flashbacks to Young's first five loves. That means Erena is "number six." Was his uncle wrong? Is she the one and only? Or are they fated for failure to make room for Young's final, seventh love?
