The First Born

All of the lure of the land of the poppy. Fascinating in its dramatical intensity and telling a story of love, devotion and revenge, from the slave market of the Hoang-Ho to San Francisco's Chinatown, the story weaves its picturesque way

70%(1)IMDbDramaRomance

Loey Tsing, the first love of Chan Wang, is sold into slavery by her father. Although Chan marries another, he still loves Loey; only the birth of a son relieves his unhappiness. He adores little Chan Toy even though he finds nothing to like about his wife.
