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.
