This 1993 Mandarin film with English subtitles depicts a woman who builds a successful business but who still has to balance taking care of her mentally handicap son and drunk husband. Xiang, a woman who is about 35 years runs a very small sesame seed oil company. She and her children process the oil by hand. Her fortunes change drastically when a female Japanese investor decides to export the oil.
