In 1902 Tivoli opens an exhibition of Chinese people brought from Canton, Shanghai and Hong Kong, whom visitors can watch working, cooking and performing. Among them is San Wung Sung; among the visitors is Ingeborg Danielsen. Their love causes a scandal: a woman who keeps company with a Chinese man is shunned and mocked, and her own family turns its back on her. When San is free to go, he stays in Denmark with Ingeborg, and the two must keep hunger at bay in a country where foreign still means dangerous. The author tells the story of his own great-grandparents and of where his name comes from.
