takes place in Vietnam in the late 1920s. At that time, Vietnam was a French colony. Many French people came to Vietnam because of their unsatisfactory life, hoping to change their fate. The girl Jane's family is a member of the migration army. After her father died, her mother was defrauded of investing her entire family. She had nowhere to go, so she took her three children away to Vietnam. After living in the countryside, she set up a small school to teach French, with very little income, and the family lived a very hard life.
Jane is under 16 and studying at Saigon Girls' Boarding School. On the ferry she was returning to school from her vacation was a rich boy named Tony, who was 32 years old when he was the young master of a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman. Tony is well-dressed and a playboy, and the family has money and does nothing to play all day. Seeing the beautiful Jane, Tony stepped forward to chat up. After disembarking, Tony took Jane back to school in a limousine. The poor Jane was directly frightened by the splendor of the car.
On holiday, Tony comes to pick up Jane from school. They go on a date at a small house in 's Chinatown, , where Tony's father used to hide his beauty in a golden house. Jane is sentimental and tells Tony about the situation at home. Unexpectedly, Tony did his homework in advance and knew a lot about her family, even about Jane's brother smoking opium. Jane was surprised and fell in love with this careful man.
Jane likes Tony's wealthy appearance, and Tony likes Jane's beauty and cuteness, and they both get what they need. Jane is an open French, and Tony has seen the world in Fengyuechang, so the two can happily spend a day in the intimate world of two without any obstacles. In the evening, Tony took Jane to eat Western food. Jane had never eaten such a good meal, and she was very happy. Tony sat next to him smoking a cigarette, watching Jane eat and drinking with a smile, and chatting casually with her.
As the contacts increased, the relationship between the two became known. Tony sent a car to pick up Jane at the school during the holiday. Jane did not hide it and got into the car to go on a date under the watchful eyes of her classmates and everyone. The two are no longer reserved when they meet, and go straight to the theme to enjoy the sweetness of love. Tony told Jane that the family had already made an engagement to him, and he did not know the woman and there was no love between them. Jane didn't care. She was white and didn't want to marry a yellow race, so she naturally didn't care about Tony's personal affairs. They just casually chat about the future and say irrelevant things.
With few days to come, the two cherish the time at hand, and Jane goes to the Golden House to date Tony almost every night, swaying her hormones in the squalid downtown of Chinatown. Tony doesn't do anything but dates, opium robs him of his ambition, or wealth robs him of his spirit.
Jen's mother learned of her daughter's affair and was clearly against their relationship. Tony heard about it and arranged for Jane's family to dine at a high-end western restaurant. During the dinner, Tony talked eloquently, and everyone only cared about eating and drinking and ignored him. Jane feels embarrassed when Jane's brother Bill has drunk enough to beat Tony in the ballroom after dinner. Tony didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, he generously paid Bill's opium den and paid for Bill's return trip. In addition, Tony also bribed Jane's mother 500 yuan to make her no longer object to the two of them dating. Sigh, the power of money is really powerful.
Tony fell in love with Jane and wanted to marry her, but his father insisted that he was right, and Tony had no choice but to compromise. Because he is a pauper when he leaves the family, and without Qian Zhen, he would not love him and go with him, so the relationship between the two is doomed to be a dead end, and there is no future between them.
Tony gets married under family pressure, Jane hopes to see her one last time before returning home, but Tony doesn't make an appointment.
The steamship bound for Paris is about to set sail. Jane suddenly sees Tony's black car parked in a corner of the dock. Although she can't see anyone, Jane knows that Tony is watching her in the car. Thinking of this, Jane can't help but tear up. Flow all over.
