Description
Young general Wen Pingsheng and his wife, Pinniang, are deeply in love with each other. Jealous of the couple’s love, Wen’s cousins conspire with a doctor and claim that the wife has caught an incurable disease. Pingsheng is the only son in the family, sohis mother dislikes Pinniang for being barren and is also afraid that her son might contract the disease.
Pingsheng’s mother forces her daughter-in-law to live alone on the premise of letting her recover from her disease, and forbids her son to visit. As he is about to go to battle, Wen visits his wife at night but is caught and scolded by his mother.
After he leaves home, the mother gives Pinniang a maid and some gold to keep her from ever returning, and then tells her son that his wife has died. Aghast at the news, Pingsheng wants to die on the battlefield but survives numerous combats and goes home. As he weeps at Pinniang’s tomb, his touched wife comes out to meet him. Moved by their undying love and ashamed of their misdeeds, the cousins admit to their wrongdoing. In the end, the mother agrees to the reunion of the couple.
