Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century China, the narrative explores the intertwining lives of Mr. Feng, a prosperous merchant, and David Winterlea, an English diplomat. Their stories are further enriched by the sisters Lotus and Peony, highlighting the cultural exchanges and romantic entanglements between foreigners and Chinese characters. This translation of a classic work showcases themes of love, identity, and the complexities of cross-cultural relationships.
