The amazing true story of a Qing Dynasty princess who became a Japanese spy is brought vividly to life in this powerful biopic by writer Lillian Lee and director Eddie Fong. Charged with reviving the Manchu nation, Yoshiko (Anita Mui) is sent to Japan at a young age to train as a spy. After doing her part in establishing Manchukuo for the Japanese, Yoshiko finds her resolve shaken when she reunites with her former lover (Andy Lau), a stage performer who has become an anti-Japanese revolutionary. In one of the most beloved performances of her career, Mui is powerfully versatile as the legendary spy.
