At its center is Su Daquan (Chu Chung-heng), a bachelor cab driver who works for his father's taxi company. Facing immense family pressure to marry, he decides to solve the problem simply: he will never get married. That is, until he is pulled over by a beautiful traffic cop named Zhuang Jingwen (played by Japanese superstar Rie Miyazawa). To win her heart, Su Daquan devises a surprisingly simple plan: deliberately commit as many traffic violations as possible just to see her again.
, directed by Chen Yi-wen and Chang Hwa-kun, is a landmark Taiwanese romantic black comedy that bridges the historical gap between commercial mainstream entertainment and the heavy, slow-paced art-house style typical of Taiwan's New Wave cinema. Nominated as Taiwan's official submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 74th Academy Awards, the film remains a cult classic and a nostalgic time capsule of Taipei at the turn of the millennium. Adapted from Su Zhaobin’s acclaimed novel Taxi Encyclopedia , the film masterfully blends deadpan humor, family dysfunction, and a deeply unorthodox romance to create a uniquely energetic cinematic experience. 🎬 The Plot: Ticket to Ride cabbie 2000
