If only consider the ordinary situation

The erotic part is indeed a bit too much, and it must be very controversial, so let's put those clips aside, and consider the rest of the plot as ordinary movies.
I only saw a few clips before, and I thought the heroine was Vietnamese, but to be honest, it is very similar, so it is difficult to say that she is beautiful, at least her roommate Helen in the film compares it a little bleakly.
The combination of a white girl and a Chinese man was considered unacceptable in the society of the 1920s. Today, nearly a hundred years later, China has experienced a complete turmoil and reshuffle. The traditional society has long been broken and subverted, and the aesthetics of the Chinese people are completely Westernization, while the European concept of contempt for Chinese men still persists.
In fact, I think the most outstanding character in the film is the mother who was crushed by the tragic fate. She completely gave up her self-esteem and sense of morality. At the same time, she was despicable and deplorable, and at the same time insisted on doting her children to the point of being heart-wrenching, especially the one who stood in the rain and sent the eldest son back to China. lens.
