During her summer vacation, college student An Li visits an ancient tomb for archaeological research. There, she is abducted by human trafficker Gao Shiying and sold to Fuzhu, a middle-aged fisherman. Aboard Fuzhu’s shabby motorized fishing boat, a tearful An Li begs Fuzhu’s mother to let her go home. Although the old woman sympathizes with her, she pleads with An Li to stay, thinking of the 7,000 yuan she and her family had paid with their hard-earned money.

The story is based on the popular novel developed from folk legend. It goes that the Manchurian emperor Qianlong of China (circa 18th Century) was actually the son of a Han Chinese, the subject ethnicity. His brother of blood, Chen Jialuo just happened to be the chief of the Red Flower Society, an anti-Manchu secret society. Chen, a learned scholar, thought he could get his brother turn his back on the Manchu and restore the Han Chinese reign. But the story was ended by brutal clearence of the society members. It reflects one of the dark pages in Chinese culture, that ethics and humanity always become impotent when countered with power.
