An adaptation from the inaugural operatic title The Unmanly Man of Golden Phoenix Opera Troupe starring Fong Yim-fun, Pak Yuk-tong, Poon Yat On and Mak Bing-wing in 1952; a cinema version was also adapted as the inaugural production of Baobao Film Company founded by Tang Bik-wan in 1953. The story revolves around two pairs of brothers and sisters of the Man and Tse families (one of which being a pair of twins played by Tang Bik-wan) who are betrothed to each other for life. While the sister of the Man went missing and was adopted by a beggar, the brother of the Tse turns out to become a scholar years later. The audience will definitely be captivated by the devious plot and hope for a happy reunion at last. Tang's dazzling portrayal of the dual characters and her collaboration with Cheng Bik-ying are more than delightful.
