This movie takes place in 1949-1950 Hong Kong, during Hong Kong's civil war. It is based on the true story of Han Suyin. A separated American reporter named Mark Elliot falls for the widow of a Chinese general, Eurasian doctor named Han Suyin who was originally from China. Elliot is in the country to report on the war going on there, and he can't get a divorce. The greater Chinese community resents the doctor having a romance with an American reporter rather than another Asian. Han Suyin ends up losing her job at the local hospital because of the romance.
