Anqing, Anhui province, southern China. On 6 Jul 1907, revolutionary Xu Xilin (Dennis To), a member of the anti-Manchu Guangfuhui (Restoration
Society), assassinates a Manchu official but is captured. Gui Fu (Lam Suet), another Manchu official, is assigned to arrest poet and feminist Qiu
Jin (Crystal Huang), an associate of Xu Xilin, at her home-cum-training school in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Qiu Jin refuses to flee with her
pupils and is only prevented from being killed by Manchu captain Ao Feng (Xiong Xinxin) thanks to the intervention of county magistrate Li
Zhonghua (Anthony Wong), whose progressive wife, Wu Zhiying (Pat Ha), is a close friend of Qiu Jin. At her trial, Li functions as her defence
counsel, but is unable to prevent her being executed. During her trial, torture and imprisonment, Qiu Jin recalls her past life: refusing to have
her feet bound as a child, her education and physical training like a man, her rescue of a mute slave-girl (Rose Chan), her arranged marriage
to the conservative Wang Tingjun (Kevin Cheng), leaving her two children to pursue studies at Tokyo's Waseda University, and her return to
China as a convinced revolutionary to work alongside Xu Xilin.
