1920年代，北平。在一次军阀寿宴棋会上，日本围棋高手松波（三国连太郎 饰）与江南棋王况易山（孙道临 饰）相遇。无意中松波发现况子阿明（沈冠初 饰）天资聪慧，有意收其为徒，松波刚在“天元”位摆下一子，不料，况易山被突然登门的警察抓走。松波救出况易山后，自己归期已到，留下那 盘没下完的残棋。几年后，况易山变卖家业，送子赴日。临行前，他将写有“奋飞”二字的折扇交给儿子，嘱其学好棋艺，日后振兴祖国棋坛。1937年，日寇进行全面侵华战争，已取得“天圣位”的阿明拒绝日当局要他加入日籍的要求，在决定逃回国时被日军杀害。在无锡的况易山，也因拒绝与日军大佐对弈，遭受巨大不幸和屈辱......Ten years before the outbreak of the Second World War in Asia, a Japanese Go master and his Chinese rival meet in China to play a game of Go (loosely described as an Asian version of chess). It soon becomes evident that the Chinese master's son is the most talented player that the Japanese master has ever encountered, and he convinces the boy's father to let him bring the child back to Japan to train him as a professional Go player. Years pass, and as the young Chinese master grows to maturity in Japan, the Japanese invasion of China forces him to choose between his triumphant career and his loyalty to his native country. His decision is complicated by his marriage to the daughter of the Japanese master, with whom he has produced a child. His choice will profoundly alter the lives of two families. Their saga serves as a reflection of the tragic relations between their two great countries, and the possibility of reconciliation and healing.
