Song Danping was the most pioneering opera singer in modern China. Though he knew he captivated the hearts of many girls, he loved the pure and lovely Du Yunyan. The young couple was deeply in love with each other. They spent most of their time together boating and going to places. However, Yunyuan's father believed that Danping was insincere and did not approve of him. He even forced Yunyan to marry a rich and powerful man. And in order to make Yunyan give up, the rich man jailed Danping, tortured him, then set fire on the theatre to burn him to death. Yet, never was there anything greater than love. When you hold true the belief that your loved one was still alive, you would give all you have unconditionally and wait forever.
