Butterfly Love
Acknowledgment to Central Motion Picture for Their Generosity.
All copy right reserved!
• In ancient China, girls were not allowed to get education. So Zhu had to dress herself like a boy.
• On her way to school, she met a 17-year-old boy, Liang Shanbo, who was also attending the same school.
• They studied there for 3 years. During this period of time, they developed a strong friendship between them.
• Yingtai gradually fell in love with Shanbo, who was a bookworm. Little
was he aware that she was actually a female despite all the signs.
• Yingtai requested that she be the matchmaker for her and Shanbo and gave her a jade pendent as a token of love to be handed to Shanbo.
• She tried several times to give him some hint about her true identity during the journey but to no avail despite her insulting him twice in her exasperation with his dumbness.
• The reason why Yingtai came back is that her father wants her to
marry the son of the governer of the county.
• After hearing the horrible message from Yingtai, Shanbo was
extremely frustrated. He couldn’t do anything but think of Yingtai.
• He returned home and his health steadily deteriorated until he became seriously ill. Several days before her wedding day, he asked to see her again.
• Yingtai was stricken with sorrow and forced her father to come to a compromise : Allow her to visit Shanbo's tomb on the way to her betrothed's home or she would not marry him.
• At the tomb, she swore her unbending love for Shanbo and that if they could not be together in life, she would rather be with him in death.
• A tornado sprang up and an earthquake split the tomb in
two whereupon Yingtai threw herself into it.
