The Sinews of Love

Orphaned by a tidal wave which claims her parents and her home,

Ming Pei Sha is at the mercy of a world of human squalor and degradation.

Destitute, she sells her body in a loveless match with an old businessman

desperate for a son.

Pei Sha witnesses first-hand the savage contrasts of the teeming city of

Hong Kong, where the affluence and extravagance of the financiers' palaces

cannot hide the appalling poverty of the slums. A city where and ancient and

proud civilisation struggles against the corruption and greed of the modern age.
