The Golden Lotus

[Trailer not available] The place .... Ching Ho District in Shantung Province; during the Sung Dynasty.Hsi Men-ching (Yeung Kwan), aided by corrupt local officials, has amassed a fortune by robbing, raping, and generally terrorising the local population. This depraved brute, with his insatiable sexual appetite, cannot be satisfied by his wife and three concubines; and when he meets Pan Chin-lien (Hu chin), the wife of a dwarf called Wu Ta-lang, he solicits the help of a matchmaker, Wang Po, to help him seduce her. At their instigation, Pan Chin-lien poisons and kills her husband, and then remarries Hsi Men-ching as his 4th concubine. At the wedding party, Hsi Men-ching takes a fancy to Li Ping-erh (Tanny Tien Ni), the wife of his friend Hua Tzu Hsi, and she becomes his next conquest. During his illicit visits to Li Ping-erh at her home, Hsi Men-ching takes note of Hua Tzu-hsi’s apparent wealth. He plots with Hua Tzu-hsi’s cousins to have him accused and brought to court; falsely charged with misappropriating the entire property of the Hua family. They bribe the magistrate and Hua Tzu-hsi is sent to jail. Hsi Men Ching, and the corrupt officials, then rob the valuables from Hua Tzu-hsi’s house. All this is too much for Hua Tzu-hsi who suffers a heart attack and dies in prison.After the robbery, Hsi Men-ching seems to tire of Li Ping-erh, and she becomes depressed and falls ill. An affair develops between Li Ping-erh and Chiang Chu-shan, a quack who is called to attend to her. When Hsi Men-ching hears of this, he is so infuriated that he has the quack thrown into prison. He then takes Li Ping-erh as his 5th concubine; but on the night of their marriage he leaves her to go to Pan Chin-lien’s bedroom. In desperation, Li Ping-erh tries to hang herself, but is rescued in the nick of time; and later gives birth to a son. This arouses the jealousy of Pan Chin-lien and the other concubines who make Li Ping-erh’s life miserable with their sarcastic insinuations.Hsi Men-ching continues his life of over-indulgence in wine, women, sex and drugs, until he eventually dies from an overdose of an aphrodisiac.
