2. Pearl of the Orient (Charmaine Sheh, Guo Jinan, Wang Mingquan)
1938. Yan, who was originally a peasant girl, devoted herself to singing and became a rising star in the Shanghai singing scene. Jiao and Feng, who debuted at the same time, were known as the "Three Golden Flowers".
Yan is surrounded by many suitors, including young wealthy businessman Sheng and his business partner Long. Yan fell in love with Long, and the two fell in love, and Yan was more pregnant with a secret knot. Just when Yan was about to tell Long about her pregnancy, Long was discovered to have secretly smuggled arms for the Japanese, and was rounded up and killed by the police because of the failure.
After Long's death, Yan lost her support, and because Long was regarded as a "traitor," Yan did not dare to make their relationship public. In order to protect her singing career, Yan disappeared for several months on the pretext of returning to her hometown to visit a doctor, and secretly gave birth to Zifeng, who was still pregnant. Yan gave Feng to an old worker to raise him in the countryside. In 1942, war broke out and Yan and Feng were separated. After the war, Yan traveled to Hong Kong and reunited with his former friend Jiao in the music industry. In order to make a living, he and Jiao formed a singing troupe to make a living. In order to make money, Yan entrusted people to search for children in the mainland. Through this, Yan got to know Jiao's younger brother Ji.
On the other hand, Feng Yi followed the kidnapper to Hong Kong and was sold to a couple in a walled village in the New Territories. At this moment, Feng met Lan from the same village. Feng and Lan were childhood sweethearts. When Feng was fifteen years old, a fire destroyed Feng's family, and Feng's adoptive parents were even burned to death. In order to make a living, Feng decided to venture out of the city. Since then, he and Lan have separated and lost contact.
Today:
The story begins and the career is in full swing. Some reporters revealed that when Feng participated in a singing competition that day, he reported that Yan was his singing teacher. Yan was eager to raise money, so he came up with a plan to take advantage of Feng's attendance and show up to "recognize each other as master and disciple."
Lan goes out of the city to look for Ji, and Ji sees a "saw beauty" at the nightclub. In order to meet his urgent need, he takes Lan to see a job, and unexpectedly reunites with Feng. Feng and Ji conspired to deceive Yan into taking Lan as his disciple, and found out that if Yan could train Lan to become a talented person, they would be willing to "officially" accept Yan as his disciple publicly.
Lan Yu sang in the singing troupe for the first time and became an instant success. Since then, Lan has become the mainstay of the singing group and is attracting more and more attention. Lan passed the Pearl of the Orient and became a new superstar in the music industry. The singing troupe's business plummeted, and Yan and Jiao were forced to come back and cooperate to save the crisis. By mistake, Yan discovered that Feng was actually his biological son. Yan was afraid that Feng's career would be jeopardized if his life experience was revealed, so he did not dare to recognize Feng.
Kang, the son of Jiao, met Li, the daughter of Sheng. Li suffered from polio since she was a child and was unable to walk, resulting in a savage and autistic character. Kang sympathized with Li and tried every means to help Li open her heart and get in touch with the outside world. The two began a "long and short love".
Feng "reappeared" in the singing and art troupe, but unexpectedly he was abandoned by the audience and his glory was no longer there. Feng was forced to put aside his dignity and start from what he had always regarded as the most "lowly" form of street performance. Unexpectedly, Fengzhi's unusual performance was well-received by the general audience, and he was awarded the title of "King of Variety Singer".
Feng accidentally learned about the relationship with Yan’s mother and son. Because Yan has always refused to recognize her, Feng misunderstood Yan even more deeply. He believed that Yan abandoned her husband and son out of greed for vanity, and vowed not to do so. Recognize Yan as your mother. Feng Yin saw that the relationship between Yan and Ji was "ambiguous" and suspected that Ji might be his biological father. He was afraid that Lan would be a brother and sister, so he had to avoid Lan repeatedly.
A bank crisis forced Sheng to face bankruptcy. Sheng was forced to cooperate with Hualong, using its singers to perform in ports and smuggle diamonds. Sheng was shocked to learn about Feng's life experience, and decided to use his plan to take advantage of Feng to go to the port to complete the smuggling "mission" for him, and then deal with Feng...
