Lei Qiang 'Butterfly Lovers'

Lei Qiangs beautiful 'Butterfly Lovers'
The Butterfly Lovers or Liang Zhu is a Chinese legend about the tragic romance between two lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai
A young woman named Zhu Yingtai from Shangyu, Zhejiang, disguised herself as a man travelling to Hangzhou to study. During her journey, she met and joined Liang Shanbo, a companion schoolmate from Kuaiji (會稽, Kuàijī, now known as Shaoxing) in the same province. They studied together for three years, during which their relationship strengthened. When the two parted, Zhu offered to arrange for Liang to marry her 16 year-old fictitious sister. When Liang travelled to Zhu's home, he discovered her true gender. Although they were devoted and passionate about each other at that point, Zhu was already engaged with Ma Wencai (馬文才, Mǎ Wéncái), a man her parents had arranged for her to be married to. Depressed, Liang died in office as a county magistrate. On the day Zhu was to be married to Ma, whirlwinds prevented the wedding procession from escorting Zhu beyond Liang's tomb. Zhu left the procession to pay her respects for Liang. Liang's tomb split apart, and Zhu dived into it to join him. A pair of butterflies emerged from the tomb and flew away.

I like the love ducks but I just hope that this mallard drake was one of those rare ones that actually stay with the hens to look after the ducklings. About 90% of the mallard drakes don't stay after the eggs have been laid due to their lack of paternal instincts.

Not trying to interrupt your guy's whole argue but it doesn't really matter because I am sure the butterfly lovers is just a metaphor of some type. You really shouldn't be arguing on such a small little thing. Just saying hope I didn't offend anyone. Oh yeah and if she wanted to show ducks she can show ducks it's her video. Again NO offense to anybody! I love the peace and plan to keep it that way thanks!! :D

the whole "Butterfly Lovers" thing is the name of the SONG it has NOTHING to do with the video I'm sorry you don't know the background of this song and I suppose it may be confusing but try to understand that other people can tell the difference between ducks and butterflies too and there was a reason this video was titled "BUTTERFLY Lovers"

[MortuusDiabolus]

Yes, it is definitely wonderful!!

[bloodprincess800]
