Synopsis
In the Western Jin Dynasty, a young boy Liang Shanbo leaves home for assiduous study outside. In the way, he meets with a girl Zhu Yingtai who is disguised as a man. Both persons hit it off, who are really like-minded. So they become sworn brothers on grass bridge, and then go to Hongluoshan College to study there. Both study together in the college from morning till evening, and cherish profound feelings each other. Three years later, Zhu Yingtai returns home. On the way back, Liang Shanbo escorts her over 18 miles. Both are reluctant for parting. Under others' directions, Liang Shanbo knows that Zhu Yingtai is a girl in fact. So he makes an offer of marriage with Zhu Yingtai, but he is refused by Zhu Family. After going home, he feels grievous and stricken. Then he dies of severe illness. Zhu Yingtai suffers from grief for Liang Shanbo's death. Before long, Ma Family comes to take bride, and Zhu Yingtai is forced to allow marriage. On the wedding day, Zhu Yingtai detours to hold a memorial ceremony before the tomb of Liang Shanbo. Moved by Zhu Yingtai's mourning, rain, storm, thunder and lightning come up so that the tomb of Liang Shanbo is cracked. Zhu Yingtai lightly jumps into the tomb. Subsequently, the tomb is closed again. Finally, rain stops and the sky is clear. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turn into butterflies and happily fly in the secular world.
