Shi Hui
The seventh immortal sister flies down to the mortal world and marries Dong Yong until the Jade Emperor obliges her to return to her world...
A New York City businessman meets a window washer hoping to commit suicide and decides to market his grief to the highest bidder in this acidic satire on American capitalism, one made even more memorable by the fact that the entire “American” cast are Chinese actors in whiteface. The greedy Mr. Butler (Shi Hui) convinces the suicidal “Charley” that he might as well endorse some cigarettes as he jumps out of his office window, and maybe wear a particular suit too. A true cinematic oddity, this Korean War–era propaganda piece is a satire that Frank Tashlin could envy.

In pre-communism era of China, a widowed man fell in love with a young collegue of the same age of his own children.
