Summary:
A mesmerizing narrative about the rise and fall of "the Don Corleone" of Chinatown. Cheng Chui Ping slipped into the United States in the early 1980s, part of a huge wave of Chinese immigrants hoping to realize the American Dream. Her path to that dream began with an underground bank for illegal immigrants run out of a noodle shop in New York City's Chinatown.
