Hungry for fun, American soldiers crowd the bars of late-’50s Hong Kong. Staffed with handpicked young girls from the countryside, the Lucky Bar is the most popular of them all, and Shui Mei is the smartest and keenest of the apprentices working there. She soon catches the eye of Jimmy, who every evening wanders from table to table, showing his father’s photo and asking for news about him.

Andy Lau and Kenny Bee co-star in What a Wonderful World, a heartfelt and touching drama from director Samson Chiu (Golden Chicken). Andy Lau stars as a hotshot reporter who contracts a terminal disease. His days numbered, he decides to spend his remaining time chasing a big story. He journeys to Singapore, and tracks down a rogue trader (Kenny Bee), who brought down a large international bank with his illicit activities. Since he has nothing to lose, the reporter volunteers to become the trader's hostage, and uses their journey to find insight into his captor's offbeat criminal methods. But in learning the trader's story, he begins to learn something about the value of his own life, too.
