Having lived as a hostage in Jin since childhood, Princess Hung-luen gives Yealuet Kwan-hung her pledge to be his wife. However, her ship is sunk by pirates on the way back to Song(China\u2019s territory). In the water, Hung-luen is mistaken as Ngai Sau-tin, who tries to drown herself to avoid the marriage arranged by her father Ngai Sze-on. Hung-luen is saved by Ngai Sze-on, but has lost her memory. Later, Sze-on marries her to Sheung Chuen-hau in his daughter\u2019s place. Madame Sheung despises Hung-luen, but Chuen-hau, out of pity, accommodates her.<\/p>\n
Kwan-hung, being the champion in the imperial examination for military officers, bumps into Hung-luen at Minister Sheung\u2019s mansion. However, he is wrongly regarded as a flirtatious man and expelled by Minister Sheung. One night, Duke Dik, brother of Hung-luen, comes to order Sze-on to translate a letter from Jin. Trying to fudge on it but in vain, Sze-on has Princess Hung-luen disguised as a man and read the letter. Duke Dik is impressed and decides to marry his sister (Sau-tin) to Hung-luen.<\/p>\n
On the wedding night, the two girls each give birth to a baby. Madame Sheung has no choice but to say that she is the mother of the newborns. That night, under the order from Duke Dik, Kwan-hung tries to investigate the strange case, but his true identity is revealed. Facing punishment from Duke Dik, the desperate Kwan-hung sings \u201cThe Barbarian’s Song\u201d which revives Hung-luen’s memory and unexpectedly leads to the reunion of the Ngai\u2019s family. Finally, happiness befalls the two pairs of lovers after so much distress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","location_type":[350136],"event_category":[373392,373316],"area_type":[350138],"event_language":[365762],"series":[388665,387115,387176],"event_category_other":[],"class_list":["post-1324386","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","location_type-indoor-en","event_category-xiqu-cantonese-opera-en","event_category-xiqu-en","area_type-local","event_language-cantonese","series-2020-21-phase-3","series-performance-series","series-cantonese-opera-young-talent-showcase","search-detail"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/1324386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1324386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"location_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location_type?post=1324386"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=1324386"},{"taxonomy":"area_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/area_type?post=1324386"},{"taxonomy":"event_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_language?post=1324386"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=1324386"},{"taxonomy":"event_category_other","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.artseventsdb.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category_other?post=1324386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
