  1. Butterfly Love Acknowledgment to Central Motion Picture for Their Generosity. All copy right reserved!

  2. A 16-year-old girl, Zhu Yingtai, convinced her parents to send her to a school.

  3. In ancient China, girls were not allowed to get education. So Zhu had to dress herself like a boy.

  4. On her way to school, she met a 17-year-old boy, Liang Shanbo, who was also attending the same school.

  5. They went to the school together.

  6. Finally, they arrived at their school.

  7. The two of them had a lot in common so they became good friends when studying in the school.

  8. They studied there for 3 years. During this period of time, they developed a strong friendship between them.

  9. They hang out together all the time.

  10. Yingtai gradually fell in love with Shanbo, who was a bookworm. Little was he aware that she was actually a female despite all the signs.

  11. The sense of attachment grew bit by bit.

  12. When she was summoned home by her father, Yingtai revealed the truth to her headmaster's wife.

  13. Yingtai requested that she be the matchmaker for her and Shanbo and gave her a jade pendent as a token of love to be handed to Shanbo.

  14. Shanbo walked with Yingtai for 18 miles to see his sworn brother off.

  15. She tried several times to give him some hint about her true identity during the journey but to no avail despite her insulting him twice in her exasperation with his dumbness.

  16. Yingtai finally arrived at her home.

  17. The reason why Yingtai came back is that her father wants her to marry the son of the governer of the county.

  18. After hearing the horrible message from Yingtai, Shanbo was extremely frustrated. He couldn’t do anything but think of Yingtai.

  19. He returned home and his health steadily deteriorated until he became seriously ill. Several days before her wedding day, he asked to see her again.

  20. He sent his servant to Yingtai with a last gift and died.

  21. Yingtai was stricken with sorrow and forced her father to come to a compromise : Allow her to visit Shanbo's tomb on the way to her betrothed's home or she would not marry him.

  22. It is the tomb of Liang Shanbo.

  23. At the tomb, she swore her unbending love for Shanbo and that if they could not be together in life, she would rather be with him in death.

  24. Suddenly, Liang Shanbo appears in front of her.

  25. A tornado sprang up and an earthquake split the tomb in two whereupon Yingtai threw herself into it.

  26. The whipping winds covered the tomb with sand.

  27. When the winds died down, two butterflies were seen soon after, flitting away to the heavens.
