Chinatown, also known as China City or China, is an area where China people live in urban areas of other countries. Chinatown was formed because early Chinese immigrated overseas and became a local minority. Facing the new environment, they need to help each other in the same boat, so they live in groups. Therefore, most Chinatown is a witness to the history of overseas Chinese. In Chinatown, most people will see many Tang restaurants. Restaurants and laundries were the main commercial industries of early overseas Chinese. Some historic Chinatowns are located in the old areas of immigrant cities, and the environment will be more crowded. Public security and ethnic issues are also problems that some Chinatowns have to face. Over the years, with the prosperity of Chinese, the status of overseas Chinese abroad has gradually improved. A new generation of Chinese immigrants will choose to live in other areas of immigrant cities, and some Chinatown also has the phenomenon of Chinese population emigration and aging. Nowadays, in many places, Chinatown has become synonymous with China Cultural District. Whether it is business, entertainment, or various cultural facilities, it reflects the China color of the East. There is no intention of reconciliation in China.

abstract ...

Describe a private detective in Los Angeles who was hired by a woman to spy on her husband's extramarital affairs in the 1930s, only to be involved in a complicated chaebol plot and incest tragedy. This is a nostalgic reconnaissance film with complex plot and rich plot, with wonderful performances in editing, directing and acting. In the film, john huston plays the big devil, but he doesn't appear many times, but he can show the abomination of a ruthless chaebol. It's a pity that this film has a strong sense of insulting China, which makes China audiences disapprove.
