What happens

The Valiant Girl White Rose (traditional Chinese: 女俠白玫瑰; simplified Chinese: 女侠白玫瑰; pinyin: Nǚ Xiá Bái Méiguī) is a 1929 wuxia film from the Huaju Film Company. Starring Wu Suxin, it follows a young woman who disguises herself as a man to fight bandits and save her father. Produced at a time when wuxia films following female protagonists were gaining popularity, the film differed from most contemporaries in its modern setting. The film is partly lost, with 27 minutes having survived. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
