The story takes place in the early 1800s⑫ in China. A man and a woman, Li Mubai(played by Chow Yun­Fat) and Yu Xiulian(played by Michelle Yeoh), both masters of the martial arts, are in love with⑬ each other. But Xiulian had a fiancé⑭ who has died. Because this fiancé was a good friend of Mubai⑮， Mubai feels that he cannot marry⑯ Xiulian. When someone steals⑰ Xiulian's sword, Mubai and Xiulian try to get it back. The action takes place on Peking rooftops⑱， and in places as far away as⑲ the deserts of western China.

　　《卧虎藏龙》的故事发生在19世纪初的中国。一男一女两位功夫大师，李慕白周润发饰和俞秀莲杨紫琼饰相爱了。但是，由于慕白是秀莲过世情郎的生前好友，他觉得无法迎娶秀莲。当秀莲的剑被盗之后，慕白和秀莲试图将其追回。故事情节的发生地从京城房顶到遥远的中国西部大漠。正如在古代武侠故事中一样，影片中的人物不时地在空中飞跃并做出许多优美的动作，观众看到这些时都发出了惊叫声。

　　Unusually, it is the female\s\up1(25(25) characters that interest\s\up1(26(26) us most. Brave\s\up1(27(27)， good and strong, Xiulian is the character we care about\s\up1(28(28) most. Beautiful Zhang Ziyi plays the part of\s\up1(29(29) Yu Jiaolong, a young woman who is not as good as\s\up1(30(30) she seems. The fight scenes\s\up1(31(31) between Jiaolong and Xiulian are some of the most exciting moments in modern cinema. But one cannot forget the wonderful Chow Yun­Fat, who is as good with a sword\s\up1(32(32) as he is with a gun. His romantic\s\up1(33(33) scenes with Yu Xiulian are very moving\s\up1(34(34)， as their eyes show all the love that they must not express in words\s\up1(35(35).

　　Films like this rarely reach the cinema. Go and see CrouchingTiger, HiddenDragon. It will make your heart leap with excitement\s\up1(36(36) at its beauty. 　　\s\up1(25(25)female/'fiːmeIl/adj.女的；女性的
