Set against the backdrop of the Chinese Civil War and the subsequent relocation to Taiwan, 'A Touch of Green' follows the lives of Republic of China Air Force pilots and their wives. The story primarily centers on three young women—Zhu Qing, Mo Ting-ting, and Shao Wei-hua—who find themselves thrust into a world of military life, where camaraderie is deep, but the shadow of death looms constantly over their husbands. As the tides of war shift and political upheaval forces them across the strait, these women must endure heartbreaking separations, political persecution, and the arduous task of rebuilding their lives from the ashes of a bygone era.
