Part Two of Ming Ho’s new dramatisation of Han Suyin’s landmark semi-autobiographical novel. The story follows Suyin, a doctor and writer, living and working in late 1940s Hong Kong. When Suyin meets British war reporter Mark, she embarks on a secret love affair that tests her relationship to her own Eurasian identity and divided loyalties. As the People's Republic is established in China, tensions in Hong Kong intensify, and Suyin is treated with increasing suspicion by the colonial elites. With the lines between West and East ever starker, are Mark and Suyin delaying the inevitable? And can Suyin reclaim the narrative of history? Originally published in 1952, this is a story of two societies on the cusp of change - colonial Hong Kong and feudal, revolutionary China – in a fresh adaptation for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
