Outside the Bamboo Forest in the Courtyard

He comes from a poor family and plays the flute every day outside the courtyard wall of a wealthy lady. She listened fascinated, but never dared to climb over the wall. Later, her family fell into decline and she married someone else. Forty years later, he became a folk artist. He was playing the erhu on the street when an old lady came tremblingly and put a copper coin into the bowl. He looked up and recognized her. She said nothing, turned and left. He caught up and asked, "Do you remember the sound of the flute outside the courtyard wall?" She turned back and smiled: "Yes, I listened to it for three years, but it's a pity that you never asked my name."
