MAN and YIN go dancing together, during which MAN takes out a brooch that he gave her ten odd years ago. Although not accepted at that time, the brooch is now surprising enough to move YIN to tears in an instant. KWAN is eaten up with jealousy when she witnesses the whole scene. MAN asks KWAN to show YIN around. KWAN brings YIN to the pagoda, shortly after which CHAI YAT-FAI has also arrived to reminisce about the past. FAI has dropped the old coin that YIN gave her years ago, which is later discovered and picked up by KWAN. HOK-KEI finds FAI’s CV among the HKCBA membership application forms. FAI is later found to have returned to Shanghai from London. Knowing that MAN has purposely lured FAI back to London in the name of business, YIN gets a little irked and picks an argument with him. KWAN is shocked to see MAN drinking alone. Suddenly and unexpectedly, MAN gives KWAN a bear hug and a big sloppy kiss……
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.
