Shanghai, 1937. Pearl and May are two sisters from a bourgeois family. Though their personalities are very different - Pearl is a Dragon sign, strong and stubborn, while May is a true Sheep, adorable and placid - they are inseparable best friends. Both are beautiful, modern, and living carefree lives until the day their father tells them that he has gambled away the family's wealth and that in order to repay his debts, he must sell the girls as wives to two 'Gold Mountain' men: Americans.

Story
According to Confucius, ‘an educated woman is a worthless woman’, but Tan Yunxian – born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separation and loneliness – is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. She begins her training in medicine with her grandmother and, as she navigates the male world of medicine, requiring tact and diplomacy, she struggles against the confining world of her class. From a young age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling.

Story
In 19th-century China, when wives and daughters were foot-bound and lived in almost total seclusion, the women in one remote Hunan county developed their own secret code for communication: nu shu (“women’s writing”). With the arrival of a silk fan on which Snow Flower has composed for Lily a poem of introduction in nu shu, their friendship is sealed. As the years pass, through famine and rebellion, they reflect upon their arranged marriages, loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood.

Story
En una remota provincia de China, las mujeres crearon hace siglos un lenguaje secreto para comunicarse libremente entre sí: el nu shu. Aisladas en sus casas y sometidas a la férrea autoridad masculina, el nu shu era su única vía de escape. Mediante sus mensajes, escritos o bordados en telas, abanicos y otros objetos, daban testimonio de un mundo tan sofisticado como implacable.

Su abuela es una de las pocas doctoras que hay en China, y enseña a Yunxian los pilares de la medicina, los Cuatro Exámenes —mirar, escuchar, tocar y preguntar—, algo que un hombre nunca puede hacer con una paciente.

Eigentlich eine Auszeichnung, denn kleine Füße lassen die Familie auf eine vorteilhafte Heirat für die Mädchen hoffen.

Story
In the depths of a Beijing winter, during the waning days of Deng Xiaoping's reign, the US ambassador's son is found dead - his body entombed in a frozen lake. Almost simultaneously, American officials find a ship adrift in the storm-churned waters off California. No one is surprised to find the fetid hold crammed with hundreds of undocumented Chinese immigrants - the latest cargo in the Chinese mafia's smuggling trade. What does surprise Assistant US Attorney David Stark is that among the hapless refugees lies the corpse of a Red Prince, a scion of China's political elite.

Story
Ottuagenaria e tormentata dai rimorsi, Giglio Bianco ripensa al proprio passato e a Fiore di Neve, l'amica scomparsa da molti anni che ha avuto un ruolo cruciale nella sua esistenza. Poiché le rimane solo il dono del tempo, vuole onorarlo raccontando la storia della sua laotong - la compagna di parole segrete - e del tragico equivoco che ha amaramente segnato un legame lungo una vita. Ha inizio così una vicenda di intensa drammaticità ambientata nella Cina del XIX secolo, quando mogli e figlie ancora avevano i piedi bendati e vivevano in uno stato di isolamento pressoché totale.
