A corridor in building, orange light, a female wearing a green Chinese costume with some peonies and birds pattern. Her eyes are staring at the doorplate. A cigarette grasped in her right hand, obscure red light on her cold face. At the background there is a maidservant sweeping the floor. She is waiting for the door opening.

Because of the costume, the woman maybe a rich merchant's or a warlord's extravagant wife or she is the Number 1 girl of a high-quality brothel in Shanghai. Puppet government's Wang paid 20 gold bars to buy her, and designated her to entice Japanese Left Senate's leader.

She is imaging the man inside would be fat or thin, strong or effeminate, old or young... whether or not he will devastate and mistreat her body... the twinkle from her eyes with affected posture are only in order to conceal herself, in human's eyes prostitute should not have dignity...
