Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh, Ken Watanabe and Kaoru Momoi star in the original novel of the Oscar-winning film "Memoirs of a Geisha". It tells the story: From the orphan girl Chiyo to the famous geisha Sayuri in Kyoto, her fate is like falling flowers floating on the gurgling water, and the future direction can never be predicted. The elegant and exquisite okiya is a paradise for the rich, but it is also the place where Sayuri has to face the sword of wind and frost every day. The men's greedy or profound gazes have woven a web that she relies on for survival but is difficult to escape; "Mom", Hatsumomo, Pumpkin... The women either add insult to injury or generously help, holding up a stage full of dangers. Even though she is walking on thin ice, Sayuri is full of smiles and appears on stage.
