西厢记故事（英文版）

This beautiful love story took place in the Temple of Universal Salvation in Yongji of Shanxi Province. The drama followed a Chinese pattern of a secret meeting of a gifted scholar with a beauty in a back garden, plus trials and tribulations, and finally a happy union. Scholar Zhang and Cui Yingying, the Prime Minister's daughter, fell in love with each other when they met and exchanged verses in a garden. When Cui's family ran into trouble, Zhang bravely came to the rescue. But later Cui's mother broke her promise to give her daughter to Zhang in marriage. The warm－hearted maidservant Hong Niang or Red Girl with her ingenious plans eventually brought the couple together. The sentimental scholar Zhang with sense of justice is an archetype of the talented scholar in ancient Chinese literature.
