Chinese Kunqu Opera: Peony Pavilion-part-21.2

青春版牡丹亭-遇母 Reunion with Mother

Madame Du and Chunxiang arrive in Hangzhou as refugees. As night falls, they knock on the door of a house to ask for shelter. Du Liniang comes to the door. Thinking that they have seen her ghost, they try to appease her with spirit money. However, Madame Du's maternal instinct overcomes her fear and a joyous reunion ensues. Du Liniang tells her mother an expurgated version of past events and proudly displays a document certifying she is officially released from hell.
