Plot
Yan (Qin Hailu) is a young woman in Hong Kong, living near a family who is staying in the area illegally. She services dozens of clients per day and showers compulsively. Her pimp is assaulted with a durian in front of Fan (Mak Wai-fan), a young daughter of the nearby family. After her 3-month-stay in Hong Kong, Yan returns to her family and her ex-fiance in Northeastern China. Yan remains in contact with Fan, receiving a durian from her as a gift.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
