She was the most popular opera actress in Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty, known as "Empress Zhu", and her song "Wangjiang Pavilion" could make the whole city cry. He is a taciturn and poor scholar in the Yujing Book Club, and his "Save Feng Chen" describes the suffering of women in the world. When we first met that year, she was standing on the stage with her sleeves like clouds; he was hiding in the "dog hole", clutching a song "A Flower" that he had changed again and again, and did not dare to give it away.
He wrote for her "Lock the spring and never let go of the two flying swallows", but she went south to Yangzhou alone because of the humiliation of the powerful and the world. He chased her for thousands of miles and met again in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but silence was still his answer. Lu Zhi, a Hanlin scholar, openly expressed his love with the song "It's so painful to let go", which gave her an unprecedented enthusiasm. Two men, one loves in words, the other loves in person. She chose the man who couldn't even say "I like you" - because every word he said was engraved with her name.
From the wind and snow in Dadu to the spring scenery in Yangzhou, and then to the dusk snow in Qiantang, she accepted apprentices, taught her skills, was humiliated, became blind, and married into a Taoist woman. When the disciple's eyes were gouged out, she slapped the child who was begging for death to wake up: "You are my disciple, your life is still alive!" When Guan Hanqing finished writing "The Injustice of Dou E", she sat in the audience and held the hand stretched out in the darkness.
This is a unique love affair that has been forgotten by official history, a "drama and music" written by an actor and a playwright throughout their lives. Open it, and you will hear the cheers and sighs from seven hundred years ago, and see how two hearts locked by the world finally became "Two Flying Swallows."
