The 1930s Hong Kong is the time of the East and West cultural shock. Women started fighting for their rights and status, changing the 'men superior to women' image. Famous barrister Sir Arthur Chung studied in England and lives a British lifestyle, but inside he's actually a traditional Chinese man. He married several wives to show off his power and upper-class status.

During his meeting with ROBERTSON, MAN is asked to help lobby the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association (HKCBA) to stop the price gouging on rice……
