English Summary

"Shanghai Triad" is a 1995 Chinese film directed by Zhang Yimou, featuring Gong Li in a leading role. The script, written by Bi Feiyu, is based on Li Xiao's 1994 novel "Rules of a Clan" (门规). Set in the criminal underworld of 1930s Shanghai during the Republic of China, the story unfolds over the course of seven days. The film's Chinese title, "摇啊摇，摇到外婆桥," refers to a well-known traditional Chinese lullaby.

This film marks the last collaboration between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in the 1990s, concluding a successful partnership that began with Zhang's debut film, "Red Sorghum," and evolved into a romantic relationship. Upon completing "Shanghai Triad," the couple decided to end their professional and personal relationship, not collaborating again until "Curse of the Golden Flower" in 2006.

Plot:
The story follows Tang Shuisheng (played by Wang Xiaoxiao), a young man who arrives in Shanghai to work for a Triad Boss named Tang (played by Li Baotian). He is taken to a warehouse where a deal between rival Triad groups goes awry, leading to a violent confrontation. Shuisheng is then taken to Tang's luxurious home, where he becomes a servant to Xiao Jinbao (played by Gong Li), a cabaret singer and the Boss's mistress. As the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that Jinbao is also involved with the Boss's second-in-command, Song (played by Sun Chun).
