Singapore Swing (2011)
“His father, toiling in the fields from sunrise to sunset, could not bring up his son alone. So, six months after his dear wife had gone to meet the Jade Emperor in His Celestial Palace, he chose to marry beautiful but wicked Zhu. In the beginning all was well, and Zhu was kind to little Lucky Wang, for she was young and healthy and would have kids of her own. But a thousand days passed and then another thousand and, like a slowly uncoiling snake, the truth crept upon Zhu: she would never become... pregnant. Her husband had a child, but she would have none to call her own.
Her heart poisoned with bitterness and envy, she turned against her stepson.
She punished him for the most trivial things. When he played with other children and returned home spattered with mud, she would not serve him his bowl of rice. When he had a nightmare and his screams woke her up, he got a beating. When one day he came back from the woods with hardly any mushrooms in his basket, she locked him outside in the howling wind.MoreLess
