MovieHistory
The story of Farewell to My Concubine is itself very dramatic. Lillian Lee is rumoured to have written the original screenplay in the late 1970s, which was made into a two-part television series on RTHK by Alex Law under the name King Chau and Lady Yu. Lee then adapted the story into a novel in 1985, which later inspired a feature film, scripted again by Lee and directed by Fifth Generation mainstay Chen Kaige, going on to become an international sensation that won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globe Awards among other accolades. What's more, the Peking opera of the same title featured prominently in the novel, the TV programme and the film was itself adapted from a Kun opera, which was in turn based on the historical chronicle Basic Annals of Xiang Yu, from Records of the Grand Historian.

Four college students came to Lantau to climb. They stayed in a temple in the mountains at night. Under the hospitality of a little monk (Zhang Guorong), the students chatted with the master of the temple all night and found that the life of the monks was very different from that of the world. The four people who come here only want to climb the mountain, while the family pursues the peak of Buddhism; the family wants to see through the world, while the college students only want to see the red sun; when the men and women have a picnic on the beach, the host is talking about Zen, which is a very clear contrast between the family and the world. The next morning, the students left the temple to continue their journey. The little monk who was cleaning in front of the door just smiled and saw him off. His heart seemed to be full of understanding
