A differenza degli altri film del regista, tutti ambientati nel contemporaneo, A Brighter Summer Day si svolge nei drammatici anni '60 dell'isola di Taiwan, segnati dalla politica del governo locale e dai difficili rapporti tra nativi e gli immigrati dalla Cina Popolare insieme al governo del Kuomintang e del suo leader Chiang Kai-shek, dopo la vittoria di Mao Tse-tung. Nelle sue quattro ore, A Brighter Summer Day mostra un episodio di cronaca che ebbe per protagonista un ragazzo, colpevole di aver ucciso una coetanea.
