Eyes are on China from all over the world, and this story contains today's most 'in' Chinese elements. It is a unique story that spans across half a century in China and connects the East with the West. It depicts Communist China's transformation as seen through the eyes of a Chinese gay man and people surrounding him. It seeks to explore humanity and morality; cross-cultural interaction in the rapid process of globalization; race; gender; religion and sexuality; interracial and cross-cultural prostitution; the lives and subcultures of marginal people as opposed to the mainstream society.
