Harold had travelled halfway around the world to remote a remote part of China based on rumors of a magical healing pool that could cure any disease. Considering he had an inoperable brain tumor, he figured superstition was his only hope at this point. Worse case scenario, he figured he would at least visit China before he died. When he arrived the villagers in the closest town warned him not to go--that no man dared to travel to the pool. He dismissed such rumors, and they reluctantly gave him directions. After taking a dip in the pool, he learned why no man ever dove in--he was transformed into a young Chinese woman! At this point, he could only hope that it cured his cancer as well. He had risked everything...quite literally.
As if a fate worse than death! Being stuck in a communist country!
