Shaw Brothers Classic film fully restored from
the original film.
An earlier screen classic by King Hu, The
Story Of Sue San is adapted from a chapter of
the Chinese literature Jing Shi Tong Yan. The
story evolves around a pair of star-crossed
lovers – Wang Chin-lung (Chao Lei), the
youngest son of the Minister of Administration;
and Su San (Betty Loh Ti), the famed
prostitute. When Wang had exhausted his
fortunes on Su, the Procuress (Hung Wie) threw
him out of the brothel, and sold Su to the
local magnate Shen Yen-ling (Yang Chi-ching) as
concubine. But Shen’s jealous wife Pi poisoned
her husband and framed it on Su, who was
sentenced to death. At the same time, Wang was
ranked top of his class in the imperial
examination, and was appointed as the
Inspector-General of Eight Provinces.
Determined to save his lover, Wang strives for
a retrial.
