By Han Suyin, dramatised by Diana Griffiths.
In 1949, Han Suyin , a Eurasian doctor, is working in Hong Kong. On mainland China, the Communist revolution is taking place and Hong Kong is overflowing with refugees. Suyin falls deeply in love with Mark Elliot, an English journalist. This semi-autobiographical story reveals a people living on the edge of change and uncertainty.
