Episode synopsis
As instructed by the troupe leader, YAU delivers a platter of assorted dim sum to MAN, who in turn asks her to take the food to SUN instead. YAU enters SUN’s office when he and ALI are studying some judicial precedents. YAU asks SUN to teach her how to write her father’s name, during which ALI discovers that YAU shares the same surname as the convict in a criminal case who was later sentenced to death. SUN asks MAN about a previous case, in which he served as the defence counsel for a Caucasian suspect and managed to secure an acquittal for his client in the end. He expresses deep reservations about MAN’s tactics, thinking that this would implicate the witness in the murder and get him in serious trouble. YIN asks KWAN out for a meeting, during which she asks KWAN to prove her love for MAN. YIN goes to see MAN with a cup of tea……
About Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles
The 1930s Hong Kong is the time of the East and West cultural shock. Women started fighting for their rights and status, changing the 'men superior to women' image. Famous barrister Sir Arthur Chung studied in England and lives a British lifestyle, but inside he's actually a traditional Chinese man. He married several wives to show off his power and upper-class status. First wife Koo Sam-lan was a rich girl; second wife is former Qing dynasty princess Aisin Gioro Yee-yin; third wife came from a family that owned banks Yvonne Yik; fourth wife is a famous Peking opera singer Hong Tsz-kwan; and the fifth wife Chui Dan-dan, a vanity admiring woman. Because Sir Arthur Chung is a strict and authoritarian father, his two sons Charles Chung and Jimmy Chung eventually start going against him. This wealthy and prominent family may seem warm on the surface, but in reality, they are scattered and disunited.
