Appreciation of 1950-60s Cantonese Opera Excerpt:Jumping into the River from The Moon Pavilion

The Minister Wong Chun believes that marriages should be established between families of equal social status and wealth. However, his daughter Wong Shui-lan secretly pledges her life to a poor scholar, Chiang Sai-lung, defying her father's expectations. Initially, it seemed that the chaos of war would tear their family apart, and Shui-lan would have no choice but to accept her fate. But amidst the turmoil, Wong Chun reunites with Shui-lan and, upon learning of her relationship with the poor scholar, he becomes furious and forces her to divorce Sai-lung. Sai-lung heartbroken, ultimately drowns himself in the river, weighed down with a stone.
