Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

There used to be a landlord surnamed Zhu, also known as Zhu Yuanwai. His daughter, Zhu Yingtai, was not only bright and generous, but also very intelligent and diligent in her studies. But because women were not allowed to attend school in ancient times, Zhu Yingtai had to lean against the window sill every day, watching the scholars coming and going on the street with book boxes on their backs, feeling extremely envious! Can women only embroider at home? Why can't I go to school? She suddenly retorted to herself, 'That's right!'! Why can't I go to school?
With this in mind, Zhu Yingtai quickly returned to her room and gathered the courage to ask her parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to study in Hangzhou. I can wear men's clothes and dress up as a man, and I won't let others recognize me. Just promise me!" Zhu Yuanwai and his wife initially didn't approve, but couldn't resist Yingtai's coquettish request and had to agree.
Early the next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Zhu Yingtai and her maid dressed up in men's clothing, bid farewell to their parents, and set off for Hangzhou with a book box in high spirits.
On the first day of school, Zhu Yingtai met a male classmate named Liang Shanbo, who had outstanding knowledge and excellent character. She thought to herself: If such a good person could be on the road every day, they would definitely learn a lot and be very happy. And Liang Shanbo also felt a great connection with her, with a feeling of familiarity at first sight. So, they often sang and talked together in harmony, showing mutual care and concern for each other, standing shoulder to shoulder, and the two of them were innocent. Afterwards, the two became sworn brothers and were inseparable at all times.
Spring has passed and autumn has arrived. Three years have passed in a blink of an eye. At the end of the academic year, it's time to pack up, bid farewell to teachers, and return to our hometown. Having been classmates for three years, Zhu Yingtai has fallen deeply in love with her brother Liang. Although Liang Shanbo doesn't know that Zhu Yingtai is a girl, he still envies her very much. They parted ways reluctantly, and upon returning home, they both missed each other day and night. A few months later, Liang Shanbo visited the Zhu family, which surprised and delighted him. At this moment, the Zhu Yingtai he saw was no longer the handsome young scholar, but a young and beautiful young lady. At the moment of goodbye, they both understood each other's feelings and had already understood each other.
Afterwards, Liang Shanbo invited someone to the Zhu family to seek marriage. But how could Yuan Zhu have any respect for this poor scholar? He had already betrothed his daughter to the wealthy young master Ma Gongzi. Liang Shanbo suddenly felt hopeless and couldn't get up. He died soon after.
Upon hearing the news of Liang Shanbo's death, Zhu Yingtai, who had always been fighting against arranged marriages with her parents, suddenly became unusually calm. She put on a red dress and walked into the wedding sedan chair. The welcoming team beat drums and gongs all the way, it was so lively! When passing by Liang Shanbo's grave, suddenly sand and stones flew by, and the sedan chair had to stop. I saw Zhu Yingtai step out of the sedan chair, take off her red clothes, and walk slowly to the grave in plain clothes. She knelt down and burst into tears. In an instant, the wind and rain shook, thunder roared, and with a loud bang, the grave cracked open. Zhu Yingtai seemed to see her brother Liang's gentle face again. She smiled and jumped out. Then there was another loud bang, and the tomb closed. At this moment, the wind dissipated and the clouds dispersed. After the rain, the sky cleared, and various wildflowers swayed gently in the wind. A pair of bright butterflies flew out of the grave and danced freely in the sunshine.
