It tells of Ts'ui Ying-Ying, a young woman of extraordinary beauty with whom Mr Chang becomes infatuated after he rescues her and her mother from bandits.There are four parts, each with four so-called acts, and a "Continuation" (also four acts) which provides a happy ending and is believed to have been added at a later date. There is apparently a shorter version available, which would last about two and a quarter hours in performance.
