He also jokingly asked her how much it cost for a night, and she joked that it was $50, but added that she never stayed overnight in a fancy hotel.
She also wanted to have a long-lasting luxurious bed, instead of rushing between different men's bodies every day. She thought about finding a rich man to marry, but he said that this kind of life was not right, she smiled and disagreed.
Until one day, she revealed her heart to a rich man, and was driven out of the car by the man seeking pleasure, and her thoughts were shattered. And he had been debating whether or not to enter the annual Coachman Competition, but for the $200 prize, he decided to take a gamble.

He bought her for one night with 50 dollars, and she had to take off her clothes when she walked into the room, but he asked her to take off her heavy makeup and put on the pure clothes he bought, so she seemed to be back in those school days. . She was reclining on the bed while he sat on the sofa beside him and watched her all night.

This is the only film that CCTV6 left me with an eye-catching sight. The few scenes of Phoenix Flowers were unforgettable, but unfortunately I have not been able to watch the entire film in its entirety. Fortunately, it happened to be dragged on Thunder a few days ago.
This is a movie that tells the story of the comeback. The American man who left his love in Vietnam during the Vietnam War has been looking for the woman of the year for decades. When he returned to Vietnam, he finally got the answer; the little boy finally found it after he really turned back into a little boy his grocery box; the girl who picked lotus influenced the old man with her love for life, made him
face , and finally ushered in the final ceremony of his life; the coachman used his simple love to influence the materialized prostitute, She finally returned to her original self, and they finally fell in love.
This is a movie that is comfortable no matter how you look at it, but a little weird no matter how you look at it. It has the laziness of Vietnam and the mysterious beauty of the East, as well as the gentleness of Vietnamese women, as well as the French sentiment, the French architecture left by the old colonial It has the lens language of a French film, but it is an American film made by an American director in Vietnamese with the remnants of the Vietnam War. But whether you're into Vietnamese-style lemongrass mint leaves, French-style feasts, or just big swaths of red phoenix flowers, this movie is a great choice.
