Genre: Melodrama

Synopsis: In the 30s a young girl is abandonned by her adoptive parents to a nomadic performer. 
Review: The story opens a window in the history of Hong-Kong and the mainland China of the 30s by explaining the way money ruled the relationships between people by building classes. It shows time to time also the respect of human being that remains above this as well as the compassion. The positivism and the eagerness of the young child looks like a setting of the Maoism, upcoming in the movie, just arrived in the reality. The acting is not exagerated but caricatured what makes the acting close to the masked No theater. The directing focuses on the photography and picture composition. 
Rating: 3 /10
