Fellow villagers ZHANG Di and A-zu are in love with each other, however, there is a long-running feud between their parents. In addition, a love rival from a rich family tricks ZHANG Di into gambling away the gold necklace A-zu gave him, driving a wedge between the lovers. A-zu heartbrokenly leaves for Taipei to stay with her relatives. Regretting his action, ZHANG Di sets out with his buddy to look for his love. From the countryside to the city, the lovers encounter one difficulty after another, and their parents keep fighting. Throughout the film, musical theater star ZHANG Di and famous female Taiwanese opera singer YANG Li-hua sing 19 beautiful songs written by the renowned lyricist YE Jun-lin. Zhang Di Seeks A-Zu is the earliest existing modern film that YANG starred in. It became a box-office hit, defying the decline of Taiwanese-language cinema.
