Screenplay
The plot follows piano prodigy Ye Xianglun (Jay Chou), who lives with his father (Anthony Wong Chau-sang). In the opening scene, the year is 1999, and Xianglun is seen transferring to the famous music school, Tamkang (Danjiang) Secondary School, where his father is a teacher. On his first day of school, his classmate Qingyi (Alice Tzeng) gives him a campus tour, noting that the piano building will be torn down on graduation day. In the building, he hears a beautiful, mysterious melody ("Secret"), leading him to Lu Xiaoyu (Gwei Lun-mei), another piano student. After class, Xianglun asks Xiaoyu about the song; she tells him it is a secret that cannot be told.
The two lovebirds begin to see each other constantly, spending time in the practice rooms or around town. They share their first kiss after he gifts her a rare music score that he won for her at a school piano battle. When Xianglun tells Xiaoyu about the demolition of the piano building on graduation day, she plays him the mysterious song "Secret", telling him never to play it in the piano room with the oldest piano. The romance is budding, but laced with periods of time where Xiaoyu skips class and doesn't show up for days. An undercurrent of jealousy also begins to develop as Qingyi tries to get closer with Xiaolun.
In class a few days later, Xianglun passes a note to Xiaoyu asking her to meet him at the practice rooms. However, Qingyi shows up instead, and Xianglun accidentally kisses her since his eyes are closed. He realizes his mistake when the janitor loudly says hello to Xiaoyu outside the door; Xianglun rushes out, but she is already out of sight. He goes to Xiaoyu's home to clear things up, but her mother says she is sick and had dropped out of school a long time ago. She tells Xianglun not to look for her daughter again.
Five months later, graduation day had arrived, with Xianglun set to perform on stage at the graduation ceremony. Qingyi lends him her bracelet to wish him luck. Halfway through the performance, Xianglun sees Xiaoyu by the door, and they share a smile before she quickly leaves. Xianglun abandons the performance and runs outside, chasing down Xiaoyu and embracing her, telling her to wait for him. However, before he goes back, she sees Qingyi's bracelet on his wrist.
When Xianglun goes looking for Xiaoyu after the ceremony a few minutes later, he can't find her anywhere. Upon asking a few classmates if they had seen the girl he was always with, they are confused and reply that he was always alone. Xianglun begins to have flashbacks to all the times they hung out together, but in those memories, she is missing and he is alone. Desperate for answers, he races to Xiaoyu's house. She is missing, but Xiaoyu's mother gives him a photo of Xiaoyu with his father.
Xianglun rushes home and asks his father about her. The film cuts to a scene with Xiaoyu, in 1979 (20 years ago), speaking with Xianglun's father (her teacher at the time, at the same school). She confesses that she had found a score hidden in the oldest piano on campus, called "Secret", and when she played it on the piano, she had traveled forward in time 20 years and met Xianglun. However, she explains that during her time travels, she can only be seen by the first person she sees, and she doesn't always succeed in seeing Xianglun first, so it appears as though she is missing most days. However, she is now depressed since she had caught him kissing another girl, then saw that girl's bracelet on his wrist. Since she never wants to see him again, she gives the score of "Secret" to Xianglun's father.
Naturally, Xianglun's father thinks the story is ridiculous, and believes she is suffering from some mental illness, a sentiment quickly becoming shared by the entire class of 1979, as well as Xiaoyu's mother.
Back in the present, Xianglun realizes that the music piece that she showed him was "Secret", and could take the pianist into the past or future if played at the right speed, on the old piano. He rushes off to the piano building, which is about to be torn down. At the same time, Xianglun's father retrieves the manuscript of "Secret" that Xiaoyu had given to him for safekeeping, and realizes that Xiaoyu had written a message (20 years ago) to Xianglun on the back, corroborating her stories of time travel. Meanwhile, Xianglun enters the piano room and, as the demolition begins, starts to play "Secret" from memory, remembering Xiaoyu's words, "I always play it fast when I want to go back". He continues playing as the building crashes down around him; just before he is smashed by a wrecking ball, he plays the last note.
The scene cuts to outside the classroom. Xianglun peeks inside, and Xiaoyu looks back at him and smiles. The last scene shows the 1979 graduation photo of Tamkang (Danjiang) Secondary School, with Xianglun and Xiaoyu standing next to each other.

The film tells a "simple but very beautiful" love story, which Chou denies was adapted from his personal experiences. When the film debuted, Chou admitted that he drew from childhood experience for the plot, although his personal story was not as romantic.
Filming began in January 2007 and was completed in March. Despite previous experience in filming music videos, Chou admits that films are much more challenging due to storyline complexity and time constraints.
Because Chou was worried that people might question if he actually directed the film himself, he even refused veteran director Andrew Lau Wai Keung to visit him during shooting. However, Chou says that he did send a pilot film to Lau afterwards.
Chou has announced his plans to direct a sequel to the film and plans to invite Andy Lau to star in it.
Tribute
Chou added elements to the film to pay tribute to his high school and his favorite composer Chopin.
- ???? (Tamkang (Danjiang) Middle School)
- 2007 marks the 10th year he graduated from his alma mater.
- In the film, he incorporated elements which reflected his actual experience in school, such as his stint as pianist for the school choir.
- In the film, he was the orchestra’s pianist and played during high school graduation.
- The date when Xiao Yu first goes to class is January 18, 1979 - which is Jay Chou's birth-date.
- The students on duty was Vincent Fang and Alang Huang, both of him were lyricists who often work with him.
- 2007 marks the 10th year he graduated from his alma mater.
- Chopin:
- One of Chopin's waltzes, the L'adieu waltz, plays in the background briefly at the beginning of the film.
- Right at the beginning of the film, a lesson about Chopin was being taught in class. He was described as a gifted musician and composer.
- There were two paintings in the music room that were supposedly Chopin and his beloved (George Sand). The conversation between Xianglun & Xiaoyu was about Chopin and his lover. Xianglun lamented that the two eventually parted ways. However, Xiaoyu seemed envious that the couple was able to spend 10 years together, which for the couple, was possibly a long time.
- Chopin's Waltz (Op. 64 No. 2 in C? minor) and "Black Key" Etude (Op. 10 No. 5 in G? major) feature in the ??(Piano Duel) scene. Note that the melodic sequence of the "Black Key" Etude that is performed in the film includes both the introductory black key sequence, as well as an improvisation in which the introductory theme of the etude is transposed a half step higher and is played almost entirely on the white keys.
- In the middle of the film, just before Xiaoyu talks about the relationship between Chopin and Sand, Xianglun plays an excerpt from Chopin Nocturne No.21 in C minor. <
