A woman in the turn of the century China had to impersonate the male heir to the family fireworks factory. She was fine with this arrangement until she met a man. I don't want to ruin the ending but it is a sad ending. The woman has an obiligation to the family and has to sacrifice love for the good of the family and her people. I was angry with some of the men in the sorry because they didn't care about her feelings. The film isn't as entertaining or fast pace. At times, it seems quite boring because it moves at such a slow pace. I wouldn't recommend this movie for the classroom because it does show some sexual activity and it isn't that entertaining. However, I would recommend this to teachers so they can see the dedication and obiligation people have to their family.
