The story of Manzhen and Shijun is truly a tragic one, one that did leave me on the brink of shedding some tears. The insights it gives into the traditional mindsets of their elders and relatives is very eye opening. The story is beautifully written in such a way that it brings out so many emotions and you can almost feel what the characters are feeling. A powerful piece indeed!
