[quote=CHYNAGYRL,36801]Gurty, the plot of the film is not so realistic. Part of the reason is that the story is from a PLAY written in the early 1900's set in Shanghai, I think (Lei Yu). Regarding your comment about women being moral and faithful in that time -- that is not completely true either. During the Tang Dynasty, women had more freedom perhaps than in the following times in China. They wore low-cut dresses, went horse-back riding, hunting, and could travel without be escorted. The First Empress (who declared herself the Emperor) of China -- the ONLY Chinese woman who ever declared herself Emperor, ruled during the Tang Dynasty. If you know her story, she murdered several of her own children and plotted against other concubines to gain the highest position in the kingdom. She conceived her first child in a temple! (how moral is that) [/quote]
