「...不過幾年的工夫，這幾年裏面卻經過這麼許多事情，彷彿把生老病死一切的哀樂都經歷到了。」— 張愛玲 二十世紀三十年代，上海。 

沈世鈞、許叔惠一雙好朋友遇上了顧曼楨

。曼楨和世鈞是兩情相悅的；而叔惠一顆心向著世鈞南京公館的一位大小姐石翠芝。

 家中，曼楨的姐姐曼璐久歷風塵下嫁祝鴻才— 吃在碗裡看在鍋裡，鴻才一雙眼睛飄曼楨身上；

另方面，曼璐少女時代的未婚夫張豫瑾重臨上海，在曼楨身上看見朝氣。

 千萬人來復去，時間無涯荒野裡，七名男女赫然相遇，七段關係一番糾結十四年... 

對於年輕男女，
三年五載就可以是一生一世的事，
不像中年以後的人，
十年八年都好像是指顧間。
 魚龍舞罷星如雨，驀然凝眸，
沒有早一步，沒有遲一步；
執手輕輕問一句：你也在這裡嗎？

Shanghai in the 1930's.
"Eighteen Springs" is a tragedy of an ill-fated romance. 

Shijun and Shuhui, are good friends. 

Shijun works in a factory where he meets Manzhen, an innocent young woman, and they fall in love. However, 

Shijun's parents had planned for him to marry wealthy Cuizhi, who instead becomes romantically attracted to Shuhui.

Manzhen's elder sister Manlu lost her fiancé Yujin, the only man she had ever loved due to his mother's opposition. Later, she became a nightclub hostess to support her family, and met a rich client Hongcai whom she married.

Millions of people cross paths every day, and in the vast ocean of time these seven men and women encountered each other and met their fate. Seven relationships entangled in a span of fourteen years..

For young lovers, a few years might seem a lifetime, unlike middle aged people, to whom a decade felt like only a moment.

As transient as images of a magic lantern, as fleeting as a shooting star is our existence on earth. Yet, we cross paths at this very spot and at this very moment in our journey of life, and our eyes meet. I gently ask, "You are here as well ?"
