Synopsis

Bo Wa Chuen works as a fisherman in Hong Kong. As a child, he had to endure a lot of bullying because he did not resemble the Asian looks of his six sibling: he looked like an Asian-Caucasian mix. Every time he asked his parents about his origin, they would beat him up as to prevent him from further looking into this issue. When the father dies, the mother sends her children to foster homes. As a young fisherman, Bo Wa gets the chance of working for an Asian Indian trade company in a low level job. A Chinese upper-class lady takes him under her wings and becomes his mentor, teaching him how to conduct himself in the business world. At the height of his success a couple of years later, just when Hong Kong becomes Chinese territory and the British flag is lowered, he discovers the secret of his origin.
