The book is about the love affair between Chinese woman Fusang who was abducted to the United States and became a prostitute more than 100 years ago and a white teenager Chris. Eleven - year - old Chris used the candy money his parents gave him to meet Fusang on a regular basis. He admired her for a long time and was fascinated by her. He then protected her and took good care of her. Chris, who later became a scholar, overcame the fierce racial prejudice at that time and defended the unfortunate Chinese prostitutes. As a young client, Chris's infatuation with Fusang seems to be driven by cultural differences, Oedipus complex and teenage sexual excitement. The love psychology involved is very complex. The fate and experience of the heroine Fusang reflects the living conditions of Chinese immigrants to the United States in the 19th century
