Plot
Yan is a prostitute from the mainland in Hong Kong, living near Fan and her family, who is staying in the area illegally. Yan meets Fan in a laneway behind Portland Street and become friends after Yan's pimp is assaulted in front of Fan by an assailant wielding a durian fruit.
Yan services dozens of clients per day and showers compulsively.[2] After her 3-month-stay in Hong Kong, Yan returns to her family and her ex-fiance in Northeast China to invest what she has earned.[3] Yan remains in contact with Fan, receiving a durian from her as a gift.
