Are you familiar with the Traditional Chinese Culture ? What do you think ? Chinese opera "沈園題壁兩斷腸", it is about the Chinese Culture: A man and a woman were cousins who grew up together. They eventually fell in love. They wanted to get married but as tradition, needed to verify their love compatibility with the Chinese zodiac; the Chinese zodiac indicated misfortunes would stem from their marriage. The young couple disregarded this and decided to get married anyway. For three years, they wanted to have children but had no luck. In the Chinese culture, not being able to have children was indeed a big misfortune. The mother-in-law blamed the woman for bringing misfortune to her son and family. The mother-in-law forced the woman to divorce him and to stay at the nun’s temple. The woman was so devastated and attempted suicide, but was saved by another man and ended up marrying him in later days. The scene is about the woman reminiscing with her previous lover where they grew up together; they talk about how much they miss each other.

I know this story, it was about a famous poet and his cousin in song dynasty. In ancient times, it is very important for a wife to have a child (especially a boy) for a family, if not, most of the people in that family will blame the woman.Because people think very highly of a family's blood(well, I don't know how to express, hope you can understand). Obviously, it is so unfair for women. Women have very low position in ancient times. As I see it, it's lucky to live in the present age.

蝶恋花中尤其喜爱唐婉所对,绝唱总是让人心痛不已。唐婉如此,李煜如此。

这是个很现实的故事,表堂是不能结婚的,近亲结婚下一代有隐性疾病的机率会提高。爱情会因为现实而分开,很少有海枯死烂的那种,不过曾经深爱过就可以了
