Chinese Kunqu Opera: Peony Pavilion-part-22.1

青春版牡丹亭-淮泊 Stranded at Huaian

While awaiting examination results, Liu Mengmei risks his life to look for his father-in-law, for his wife's sake. When he reaches Huaian, the city gate is already locked for the night. Having exhausted his money, he seeks shelter at an inn and tells the innkeeper that he is Commissioner. Du's son-in-law. The innkeeper accuses him of being an imposter. Liu Mengmei spends the night at a temple and goes to pay his respects to Du Bao the next morning. He is denied entry to the hall where Du Bao is holding a banquet celebrating his victory. Starving and furious, Liu Mengmei tries to barge his way in, and is promptly arrested.
