| | Synopsis
|
It's 1882 in southern China. Li Jun, a feisty homeless girl disguised
as a boy called Little Tiger, works in a fireworks factory and yearns
to sail across the ocean to the mysterious Gold Mountain in faraway
British Columbia to find her long-lost father and fulfill her promise
to her dying mother.
She joins thousands of Chinese men blasting a path for the new railway
through the "impassable" Rocky Mountains. There she faces danger,
deceit, and prejudice at every turn. Then, defying all the rules, she
falls in love with James, the son of the railway tycoon.
