Jade, meanwhile, tries to achieve that happy medium between giving in to her parents' wishes and fulfilling her own needs and desires - double happiness. Therefore, although she manages to land a few bit parts on camera, Jade spends most of her time working in the shop owned by a family friend, performing the duties of a respectful daughter and suffering through arranged dates with prosperous young Chinese men (Including one who is gay). An adept cultural chameleon, though, she also leads a double life, hanging out with best friend Lisa.
Jade seeks to reconcile her parents' wishes with her own desires for "double happiness." She balances acting opportunities with work, family obligations and arranged dates. Her ability to adapt to various cultures is highlighted as she maintains a secret connection with Lisa.
