Set against the vibrant and tumultuous backdrop of Hong Kong's final years under British rule, "Water Washes Earth" is a story of passion and identity, of the indelible marks left by love and history.

Lisa Li navigates a life torn between the weight of her Chinese familial expectations and her longing for personal freedom. As the youngest daughter of a senior Communist Party official, Lisa is raised in the shadow of her father’s political influence, steeped in traditions that demand loyalty, sacrifice, and submission to family and Party.

However, Lisa’s journey—spanning Beijing, London, and Hong Kong—is one of defiance, resilience, and self-discovery as she attempts to reconcile the life her parents envision for her with her own aspirations.
