The Gem of Life (2008)

In Pak Siu Yau's eyes, her three daughters are just as perfect as diamonds. She believes that the greatest blessing for a woman is to marry a wealthy man. To guarantee a better life for her daughters, she has started training the girls since they were young, hoping that they will marry into the richest families when they mature. Yau's first daughter Hong Nga Yin does not agree with her on her values. Yet when she sees that the man YIN is going out with is Ko Cheung Sing, who is very well-off, she decides to let Yin go with her choice. Yau’s second daughter Hong Nga Tung is hopelessly romantic but does not seem to have much luck with men. To make it up to her, Yau seeks to match her up with Ho Chit Nam, the son of Hong Kong's most powerful business tycoon, Ho Fung. Being the youngest in the family, Hong Nga Sz is well aware of Yau's concerns. Having recovered from the divorce, Sz now decides to pin all her hopes on Fung. Yau's persistence pays off, and her daughters have all found wealthy husbands. But money does not really bring them happiness, and the sisters gradually lose themselves to vanity. Edit Translation
