   Summary

   In 1938, in Hong Kong, Arthur Kirkland, a Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Navy from Berkshire, meets Wang Yao, a student from Canton (Guangzhou) studying at the University of Hong Kong.

   Arthur is a proud young man from an aristocratic family, while Wang Yao, though brave and responsible after losing his parents, struggles with his emotions. Their story begins at the Gloucester Restaurant, where a quiet relationship starts to form against the backdrop of looming war and political chaos. In this uncertain time, what challenges will they face together?
