One of the musical stories I have heard is Liangzhu. It is about a love story. In old China, every three years a lot of teenagers went to the capital of China, Jing City (which is called Beijing now), to take an examination and if they passed, they could work in the government. The top three would be honored to talk about the economy, the military and the future of the nation with the emperor. One of the teenagers was named Shanbo who was not very smart and not rich but hard-working. Another is Yingtai who was a girl, but in old China the girl was not allowed to enter the classroom or even the examination room. One day Yingtai was reciting poetry, which make Shaobo hear and admire. From that day they lived together and studied together, but Shaobo did not know Yingtai was a girl and regarded her as a brother. Fire cannot be folded in a paper box. Shanbo found out Yingtai was a girl at first he hated her because she lied to him, but later they fell in love. When Yingtai`s father knew this, he opposed the match of his daughter and Shanbo because Shaobo was not from a rich or famous family. Then he forced her to get married with a rich man`s son who was stupid. After Shanbo heard the news, Shanbo died of extremely grieved. When Yingtai received the death of Shaobo, she despaired and wanted to see his tomb. As she was crying in front of gravestone, a light suddenly came out of the grave and Yingtai jumped into it without any thinking. Later, there was a couple of butterflies that came out. They were playing and having fun. They are free now, and nobody would bother them or separate them. This story describes a moving but sorrowful love story. So many lovers want to be the same as them to love each other.
