The two gradually fall in love. However, when Zheng comes to propose, an unhappy Dr. Zhu puts forward a harsh condition. Zheng must fill the quiet medicine shop with customers in order to marry Miss Zhu. This challenge does not deter Zheng, who comes up with a brilliant plan… This film is one of the earliest surviving Chinese films that can still be screened, and it is also the oldest surviving narrative film in China.
