[Introduction to the Story]
The play is based on the classic novel Love in a Fallen City written by China legendary woman writer Zhang Ailing.
The 1930s. Shanghai. The Hanlin White House in the former Qing Dynasty, whose ancestors once flourished, declined year after year and lived in an empty land, so that even daily life was stretched. Bai Liusu, a six-year-old girl from the White House, got married, and Mrs White raised money from every room to prepare a decent wedding. The third white and the fourth white shirk each other, and the sister-in-law haggles over small accounts. At the beginning of Bai Liusu, the world was moved by it.
Bai Liusu married Tang Yiyuan, the master of the Tang family, who was one of the best upstarts in Shanghai at that time. The marriage caused a sensation. The wily master Tang arranged this feudal marriage for his son in order to add another "expensive" to the "rich". Bai Liusu wants to escape from this dilapidated white mansion, not just jump from cage to cage. Master Tang looked down on the White House's conformity in his bones. Tang Yiyuan is still idle and philandering after marriage, and Bai Liusu has to deal with her husband's affairs, so she is on the run.
Tang Yiyuan smoked opium with his little aunt, and was discovered by Master Tang, who drove her out of the house. Tang Yiyuan went further, even during Bai Liusu's pregnancy, she turned Hu Yunna, a pingtan singer, into a concubine. Bai Liusu was so desperate that the baby in his belly had an unexpected miscarriage. Master Tang, who lost his grandson, acquiesced in his son's behavior. Bai Liusu was left out in the Tang family, and he was even put a gun to his head by Tang Yiyuan. Bai Liusu decided to divorce, but neither the poor White House nor the proud Tang family agreed to divorce. Bai Liusu had nowhere to fight. She hanged herself in despair. Fortunately, her sister Paul saved her, and Paul was the only one who understood her pain. Helpless, I had to follow Tang's surname and go back to my family. Tang gave Bai Liusu a sum of living expenses, enough for him to spend the rest of his life with plenty of food and clothing. The condition is that as long as Tang Yiyuan is alive, Bai Liusu can't get married.
Bai Liusu had a hard time in the White House. The snobbish sister-in-law forced her to pay for the meal, and her brother tried to calculate her money. Seeing that Bai Liusu had no money, he gave her a cold look. Bai Liusu's worries can only be told to her sister Paul, and their feelings have deepened. Bai Liusu sold his jewelry and filed a lawsuit, eventually divorcing Tang Yiyuan. Tang Yiyuan soon got tired of Hu Yun and married Liang again. When Tang Yiyuan was kidnapped, Bai Liusu let bygones be bygones, deeply understood the important principle, and redeemed him. Master Tang regretted missing such a good wife. Both Tang Yiyuan and Liang died of opium overdose. Master Tang offered a high price, hoping that Bai Liusu would return to the Tang family and adopt a nephew to pass on the incense. The White House tried to bring Bai Liusu back to the Tang family to ease his plight, while Paul advised his sister not to be widowed all her life.
Hong kong. Fan Liu was originally the illegitimate child of Indonesian businessman Fan Tianhe. Fan's family deprived him of his inheritance because of his father's sudden death. Fan Liuyuan, who lost financial support, became penniless, living on the streets, selling coolies, being bullied and mistakenly entering gangs. In a kidnapping case, Fan Liuyuan helped Shanghai businessman Mr. Xu escape smoothly, and Mr. Xu's wife, Mrs. Xu, was the matchmaker.
At the time of falling into the trough of life, Fan Liuyuan met a gentle and kind-hearted red-violet, who deeply loved each other but was opposed by her brother red-violet. At the same time, Fan Liuyuan met Qiu, a talented but poor lawyer. With the help of lawyer Qiu, Fan Liuyuan went to England, went through hardships to get a birth certificate, won the inheritance lawsuit, inherited tens of millions of property, and became rich overnight. But when Fan Liuyuan returned to Hong Kong, Red-violet had been forced by her brother to marry someone else, and Fan Liuyuan was heartbroken. Red-violet was unhappy after marriage and soon fell ill and died. Red-violet's death became an eternal pain in Fan Liuyuan's heart. From then on, Fan Liuyuan became cynical and playful.
Mr. Xu, who once saved Fan Liuyuan's life, wanted to help Fan Liuyuan untie her heart, invited Fan Liuyuan to play in Shanghai, and asked Mrs. Xu to introduce her girlfriend to Fan Liuyuan. Under the warm arrangement of Mrs. Xu, Fan Liuyuan and Miss Xu had a blind date, but she was deeply impressed by the accompanying. Bai Liusu accidentally stole Paul's thunder while dancing, and was given the cold shoulder by his family. The misunderstanding of Paul also made Bai Liusu sad. Tassel's situation in the White House is getting more and more difficult.
After returning to Hong Kong, Fan Liuyuan fell in love and entrusted Mrs. Xu to invite her to Hong Kong. The White House hopes to return to the Tang family, but is faced with a choice: either return to the Tang family as a widow or go to Hong Kong where the future is uncertain. Bai Liusu, determined to control his own destiny, went to Hongkong.
However, in the communication with Fan Liuyuan, Bai Liusu found that Fan Liuyuan was infatuated with her, only took her as a lover, did not want to marry her, and did not give her any promise. From lawyer Qiu's mouth, I learned about Fan Liuyuan's past and her dead red-violet. She was deeply moved by Fan Liuyuan's infatuation, but she insisted on her own principles and resolutely refused to be a lover. Fan Liuyuan's insistence on Bai Liusu is a love-hate relationship, and she is deliberately hot and cold to please the Indian princess in front of Bai Liusu.
At this time, the war between Shanghai and Shanghai spread, and Paul was wronged by his elder sister-in-law in the White House, and almost died to show his innocence. She went alone to send her mother's ashes back to her hometown and lost contact with her family. Bai Liusu is worried about the news and wants to go back to Shanghai.
The night before Bai Liusu returned to Shanghai, her and Fan Liuyuan's mood was extremely complicated. Fan Liuyuan called Bai Liusu, but stubbornly refused to speak. Bai Liusu once wanted to surrender, but her dignity finally overcame her impulse.
Bai Liusu and Paul returned to China at the same time. Tassel found that Paul quickly grew into a thoughtful and brave girl after this adventure, and bravely fell in love with the rescuer Zhao Qiusheng, an anti-Japanese officer. Paul resolutely followed Zhao Qiusheng to the anti-Japanese rear hospital. For the sake of love and the ideal of saving the country, Paul seems to have been reborn, full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
Bai Liusu's departure made Fan Liuyuan even more depressed. At this time, the descendants of Fan's family took out the so-called new evidence to recapture Fan Liuyuan's property. Fan Liuyuan almost gave up, and Qiu angrily denounced his cowardly behavior. Fan Liuyuan, who is tired of coping, misses Bai Liusu more and more.
The White House is getting worse. In order to make a living, Mrs. Bai rented out some houses in Bai Mansion. Bai Liusu was forced to share a room with the servants. Mr. Wu, the tenant, appreciated the talent and proposed to her. At the same time, Bai Liusu received a phone call from Fan Liuyuan and asked her to go to Hong Kong again. Bai Liusu went to Hongkong again.
As soon as they met at the Hong Kong airport, Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan felt as passionate as a volcano. What Bai Liusu wants is a Fan Liuyuan who really loves herself, not because red-violet loves herself. Even if Fan Liuyuan still didn't give her any promises, Bai Liusu didn't care. She admits that she has fallen in love with Fan Liuyuan deeply and is determined to put aside everything and be a lover. Two people fell in love like this.
When the Pacific War broke out, Shanghai was attacked by Japanese invaders, and Bai and Bai fled, but finally returned to the White House. Paul and Zhao Qiusheng held a battlefield wedding.
Hong Kong fell and the whole city was bombed. Fan Liuyuan was eager to go back to London to handle affairs and had to be separated from Bai Liusu, but he couldn't make it because of the war. Bai Liusu braved the bullets to find Fan Liuyuan. Facing the edge of life and death, all worldly shackles have faded. Fan Liuyuan finally opened her heart and proposed to Bai Liusu loudly in the fire!
The war destroyed a city and made an unforgettable love.
This is for the love of the whole city.
Urban love story episode 1
The thirties. Shanghai. Late autumn.
Baizhengting. Mrs White was sitting alone in the plush chair when Bai An, the servant, hurried to report. She invited every room twice, but she didn't move, so Mrs. White had to invite it herself. Bai Liang, the third son, quarreled loudly in the room. The fourth son's bright swimming pool is filled with the cry of the fourth wife. Aunt Cui, the mother of my aunt, heard chanting in her room. After Mrs. Bai's voice on crutches was repeated, the Bai family in the main hall finally got together. Mrs. Bai said that tassel was going to get married and asked each room to pay, but each room refused to pay. There was a quarrel and Mrs. Bai was very angry.
Bai Liusu, the sixth Miss of the White House, took a wedding photo with Tang Yiyuan, who had only met twice, under the help of Mrs. Xu. Both of them happened to wear exquisite clothes, and they had another tacit understanding with each other. After taking the wedding photos, Tang Yiyuan invited him to dinner, but Bai Liusu said he was tired and wanted to go home.
When Bai Liusu returned home, he found the atmosphere in the hall very dignified. He learned the story in Paul and quietly went to the stairs to listen. Bai quarreled with his fourth wife because of the public account. Mrs. Bai angrily smashed the teacup and everyone killed her. Bai Liusu came downstairs and said in front of Mrs. Bai and all her brothers and sisters-in-law, "Now that my family is in decline, there is no need for such ostentation and extravagance, and I don't want to marry him at all.". They all breathed a sigh of relief, but the old lady Bai resolutely disagreed, demanding that every family go out of 200 yuan, and the dowry will not be reduced, and it will end in discord.
Tang Yiyuan rushed home, and his little aunt saw that he was all smiles and asked him to see Master Tang. Master Tang warned Tang Yiyuan that he was going to marry a daughter-in-law, so stay at home and stop fooling around. Tang Yiyuan obviously agreed and went out for a stroll that night.
In Hongkong, Fan Liu was beaten by the landlord because she couldn't pay the rent. Fortunately, the proprietress was reasonable and helped him escape. Fan Liuyuan came to the post office and asked the post office staff if the remittance from Honglian had arrived. Red-violet told him that he hadn't arrived yet, and Fan Liuyuan was disappointed. Fan Liuyuan was desperate, pawned her watch and settled the rent. Fan Liuyuan is wearing a suit and carrying a bag at the dock. It happened that the Indian princess quarreled with the foreman because of the freight. Fan Liuyuan knew English to help out, but she offended the foreman.
Late at night, Paul came to Bai Liusu's house. The two sisters spoke their minds. Paul was jealous of tassel's marriage, so she had to give her most precious jewelry to tassel.
At Bai Liusu's wedding, Chia Tang was wearing a suit, while Bai Jiaze was well dressed. The scene is lively.
At the wedding, the merchant's family competed with the old people. Cui Furen looked at Tang's wealth to find an object.
Urban love episode 2
At the wedding, there were more and more disputes between Tang Yiyuan and Bai Liang, and the embarrassing Bai Liusu generously solved the problem, which made Tang admire.
On the wedding night, Tang Yiyuan fell asleep. In the strangeness and panic, Bai Liusu shed tears for no reason, and her days in the Tang family began. At the beginning of their marriage, Tang Yiyuan and Bai Liusu were immersed in a strange love. Bai Liusu's modesty and virtue give Tang Yiyuan a sense of freshness. Tang mistakenly thought that the bride had won Tang Yiyuan's heart, and she was very kind to top and bottom.
On the dock, Fan Liu was very dissatisfied because he offended the foreman and was deducted from his salary innocently, so there was a conflict and he was beaten up by everyone. When Fan Liuyuan was on the street, he was taken in by a man named Liu Ge. Liu Ge knew that he could speak English and wanted to help Fan Liuyuan do business as a foreigner. Fan Liuyuan had to agree. Red-violet saw Fan Liuyuan in the street and wanted to go forward. Fan Liu was ashamed to face her and disappeared.
Brother Liu took friends from the street, asked Fan Liuyuan to pretend to be a postman, called foreigners' doors in English, and then rushed in to rob foreigners' houses. On the way back, Fan Liuyuan saved him desperately when Liu Ge was besieged by the police.
On the day of his visit, Don gave a present to everyone in the White House. Bai Liusu specially chose a radio for Paul. Paul accepted the gift and said that she could not leave the family or get married for the time being, but she could listen to the radio to relieve boredom.
Tang Yiyuan accompanied tassel back to the door, but he was polite first. But at the dinner table, he still showed contempt for the declining White House from his bones and was outspoken. He said something that hurt the White House and was laughed at by the Tang family. Bai pretended to look on because of his generous gift.
Tang Yiyuan taught Paul to tune the radio, which made Paul very excited. The White House downstairs is even more dissatisfied when it hears music playing upstairs. Tassel went upstairs and told Tang Yiyuan to go downstairs. Who knows, Tang Yiyuan's rudeness made Mrs. Bai very unhappy. She pretended not to feel well and left, and everyone left at once, leaving only Tang Yiyuan in the lobby.
Urban love episode 3
When tassel and Paul were talking about themselves upstairs, Tang Yiyuan offended the White House at the dinner table. When Tang Yiyuan and Bai Liusu left, no one at home came to see me off. Tang Yiyuan complained, but the old lady Bai secretly said that she would show her new son-in-law's face. Paul tried to send tassels, but Aunt Cui stopped him. Tang Yiyuan found that the White House had returned all the gifts he had brought to the door. He was so angry that he dropped the returned phonograph on the spot. Tassel failed to go home this time, and Tang Yiyuan went out to have a good time that night. People in the White House also quarreled with each other about this round trip.
A few days after Bai Liusu got married, it was like falling into an ice kiln. He was stumped by Master Tang and his little aunt, and happened to be seen by Mrs. Xu, who gave tassel a sigh of relief, but he shed tears first. It turns out that Mr. Xu has been in Hong Kong for more than a month and has not even heard from him. In turn, it encouraged Mrs. Xu.
Fan Liuyuan found Mr. Xu in the underground kiln in the mountain village. It turned out that he was arrested by Liu Ge as a ticket. Mr. Xu is a comprador of foreigners, and no one in Hong Kong is willing to pay a ransom to save him. Fan Liu wanted to save Mr. Xu, volunteered to kill the ticket, released Mr. Xu, and ran back after being injured.
Bai Liusu saw the gossip of Tang Yiyuan in the newspaper and was very angry. Little aunt provoked in front of Master Tang and blamed tassel. When Tang Yiyuan came back, he threw up in a big mess and fell into tassel's arms, saying that the photo was framed and blackmailed by others. Tassel relented for a moment and forgave him.
I don't want to be with Tang Yiyuan for two days, and then I have a relapse and don't come back every night.
From then on, whenever Tang Yiyuan went out to play, Tang would give Bai Liusu a look, saying that marrying a daughter-in-law was to make Tang Yiyuan accept her heart. If tassel doesn't have this ability, don't blame Tang family for being impolite.
Urban love episode 4
Tassel was very wronged and complained to Mrs. Xu that she would go home for a few days. First, Tang just regarded her as the handcuffs that bound the prodigal son. First, she wants to give Tang a little color to see, and second, she wants to get some ideas from her own home when she goes home. I didn't want Mrs. Xu to hear from her husband and was in a hurry to go to Hong Kong, so I encouraged tassel to go home. Tassel had no choice but to go back to her family.
When tassel came home, she didn't expect the house to be in chaos. In order to study drama, Liang Yong sold a large piece of land with ancestral graves in the countryside behind his family's back. Mrs. Bai was furious and fell ill at once. Liang Yue and his third wife took the opportunity to make a scene and regained the power of the former fourth wife as housekeeper.
They only care about the power struggle, but no one cares why Bai Liusu went back to her family, and tassel was more wronged. Only Paul is glad to see her back. Bai Liusu told Paul that love and life are two different things. No matter how bitter it is, there is no place to complain, so you can only swallow it yourself.
In an action, Fan Liuyuan heard the conversation between the foreman and Liu Ge on the dock, and found that he was cornered and taken in by Liu Ge. In fact, it was designed and resentful.
When Fan Liuyuan went to India to rob the princess's house, she informed others in English that someone was going to rob it and called the police at once. Brother Liu doesn't know English, so he is going to rush in with a knife and a gun in the rain. What followed was a police siege, but he escaped.
Liu Ge suspected Fan Liuyuan and found that he often went to the post office to find Red-violet, thinking that they were lovers. In order to make Fan Liuyuan work hard for himself, he kidnapped Honglian. In order to save Honglian, Fan Liuyuan promised to rob the Indian princess who came back at night.
Tassel only stayed for two days, and the third wife who just came to power came to collect her meal. Tassel cried to Mrs. Bai, but was told by Mrs. Bai that she could not wronged herself and had no way to be a wife. Yingzi was in a dilemma, and there was nothing she could do when she returned to her husband's house, so she had to complain to Paul.
In order to save red-violet, Fan Liuyuan had no choice but to prepare a box at the door of the hotel. When it was about to be implemented, I happened to meet Mr. Xu who was released by him and Mrs. Xu who came from Shanghai. Fan Liuyuan saw the Indian princess get on the bus and leave. In desperation, she had to rob Mr Xu and Mrs Xu. Mr. Xu happily met the rescuer, but was surprised to find that he had been robbed.
In the middle of the night, Liu Ge, who was drunk after celebrating the celebration, was held hostage by Fan Liuyuan at gunpoint, asking him to release Honglian, so Fan Liuyuan ran away with Honglian.
Urban love episode 5
Fan Liuyuan sent Honglian home and went back to find Mr. Xu, trying to explain the reason. As soon as she got to the door, Mrs. Xu called the police, and Fan Liuyuan was immediately arrested. Red-violet came out to testify that Fan Liuyuan was really forced to save herself and was willing to sell the house to compensate Mrs. Xu and save Fan Liuyuan. Mr. Xu dropped the lawsuit after knowing what happened, and became good friends with Fan Liuyuan.
At this point, Bai Liusu called Hong Kong from Shanghai to find Mrs. Xu, saying that she would wait for Mrs. Xu to come over, and it was urgent. At the dinner table, Mrs. Xu told Fan Liuyuan and Honglian about the White House and Tang Jiahe. Fan Liuyuan misunderstood the tassel and begged Mrs. Xu not to rush back. Such a woman might as well let her suffer. Mrs. Xu said it was even fatal.
Since the White House and the three parties came to power, they have been digging every house. Even Cui Furen's incense money was severely deducted, and tassels were unfair. They used to speak for Cui Furen, but they were always furious and returned to Tang in anger. After struggling for a long time at Tangjiamen, I still couldn't let go of my self-esteem and decided not to go back. Bai Liusu went to the concession to learn ballroom dancing.
Fan Liuyuan went to see Red-violet. Red-violet's brother opposed their contact and forbade Fan Liuyuan to come to Red-violet again. Fan Liuyuan found Mr. Xu and asked him to help find a lawyer. He briefly talked about his inheritance dispute, but Mr. Xu refused Fan Liuyuan's request.
Bai Liusu has changed a lot since he learned to dance, and Paul envies him. Tassels leave early and return late for several days. When she came back, she said that her feet hurt and her family didn't know what she was going to do.
Mrs. Bai called all the rooms, and as usual, she posted a message asking Tang Yiyuan to take tassels home. I didn't want to send the mail for three days, but don didn't call me.
