Fake story that tells a cruel but honest fact.

What is worth noting is that the criticism of the dross of the traditional Confucian teaching that discriminate against women.

One of the vivid example is no other than the purchasing and selling of girls as product.  These girls were treated as objects instead of people and used to make a profit for their owners.

At the first glance, the audience would probably want to kill Miss Shang, but in truth, she is also a victim herself, being the result of such discrimination.  In fact, if it was not for the dross in the tradition, Miss Shang would probably not turn to a lesbian.   Furthermore, her purchase of the young girls was the last means for those young girls to survive, the other alternatives being sold to brothels or simply starve to death. These are the harsh reality of the 1900's China and they are difficult to observe in this movie, but the audience should not forget these facts since they will effect the judgment of characters in the movie.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The film contains various stories about the "Comb Sisters", a group of women working in the silk mills of Southern China in the 1900s, who vow never to marry. The chief of the Comb Sisters is the beautiful lesbian Miss Shang. One of the Comb Sisters, Ah Di, had been promised in marriage when she was a child, so Miss Shang arranges a fake marriage for her. However Ah Di gradually falls in love with her husband. Miss Shang also buys very young girls, brings them up, and sells them when they are a marriageable age. Miss Shang asks the ridiculous sum of 20,000 yuan for one such girl, just to tease the men in the town, but the ploy backfires on her.
