I just finished watching the TVB Series Dance of passion (recommended by my aunt in Melbourne)The Dance of Passion is a tragic tale about the lives of two clan families in the mountains - the Yim’s and Sung’s. In the town in which they live, everything is based on law and tradition. There is no freethinking or reform. It is all about preserving the will and customs of the ancestors. They uphold men’s superiority, women’s inferiority and sole purpose to produce children, and condemn all who defy tradition. Their town was formed on a code of chastity, so faithfulness is an utmost for them. Women must protect their purity. Any woman is who impure (whether she was raped, in the hands of other men, or had an affair) is condemned and killed to preserve the purity of the town.
Living in such a town is Ka Chun Fan (Charmaine Sheh), a woman with the poorest of fates.
I just love the subsong "Lover On Golden Sand" by Charmaine Sheh
