Synopsis
Tsing Yu-Ch'ing, a young Chinese, is sent to America from his native land to study Western civilization and carry on work for the Chinese republic. After attending an American university, Tsing starts a Chinese newspaper in New York where he falls in love with a pretty blind girl, Kathleen Levinsky, the daughter of a Jew and an Irish woman. The girl, whose life is barren of love, accepts his attentions gladly. When Dr. Hardwick, a classmate from college, calls on Tsing and meets Kathleen, he offers to operate upon her eyes. The surgery is a success, but with the return of her sight, Kathleen flees in fear from Tsing. The latter returns to China, carrying his wounded love and desirous of nothing but the love eternal he believes he will find with Kathleen in the hereafter. He dies by his own hand while Kathleen, in America, finds herself attracted to Dr. Hardwick.
