Based on an short story (thought to be autobiographical) written by Yuan Cheng, a poet of the eighth century. It tells of Ts'ui Ying-Ying, a young woman of extraordinary beauty with whom Mr Chang becomes infatuated after he rescues her and her mother from bandits.There are four parts, each with four so-called acts, and a "Continuation" (also four acts) which provides a happy ending and is believed to have been added at a later date. There is apparently a shorter version available, which would last about two and a quarter hours in performance.

The Columbia History of Chinese Literature is a comprehensive yet portable guide to China's vast literary traditions. Stretching from earliest times to the present, the text features original contributions by leading specialists working in all genres and periods. Chapters cover poetry, prose, fiction, and drama, and consider such contextual subjects as popular culture, the impact of religion, the role of women, and China's relationship with non-Sinitic languages and peoples. Opening with a major section on the linguistic and intellectual foundations of Chinese literature, the anthology traces the development of forms and movements over time, along with critical trends, and pays particular attention to the premodern canon.
