A people’s poetry is always also an expression of the poetry of its landscape. “Butterfly Lovers”—the moving tale of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai—is not only one of the oldest but also arguably the most famous love story of ancient China.
Completely reimagined, with contemporary references to modern life and the current landscape of eastern China, the story unfolds in delicate, poetic imagery and draws attention to a theme that remains relevant in many parts of the world even today: the role of women in society, their right to participate in culture, education, science, and politics.
