The movie tells a love story that takes place in China.
The two men who fall in love are a young French diplomat and a Chinese Peking opera singer.
The young French diplomat, who lives in a foreign country, goes to the Opera House to watch "Madame Butterfly" and falls in love with the Chinese Peking Opera actress performing on stage.
Shortly thereafter, the two fall in love, fall in love and live together.
However, during a review 20 years later, a medical examination of the Peking Opera performer by French police revealed that
the diplomat's wife was actually a proper man!
The diplomat, who has reached middle age, feels so humiliated when he learns of this result that his whole being falls into despair and finally commits suicide.
The story told by the movie has a real-life counterpart in reality. The two sweetly entered into married life and **** raised a son together.
It wasn't until 18 years later that the French diplomat realized: the other man was actually a man!
The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are confused; the two rabbits walk alongside each other on the ground, so I can't tell if I'm male or female.
So how did they first fall in love? And how did the foreign diplomat's "wife" manage to get away with it?
Love at first sight, the beginning of a bad relationship
French President Charles de Gaulle announced the resumption of diplomatic relations with China in 1964.
Then France became the first country to open an embassy in China.
It was also in that year that, to show the friendly relations between China and France, the French side organized a party at the embassy on Christmas Eve and invited Shi Pei Pu, a famous young Chinese Peking opera singer at that time.
Shi Peipu was born into an intellectual family.
His father was a university professor, his mother a teacher, and his uncle worked for the Ministry of Culture.
The actor's father was a university professor and his mother was a people's teacher.
