A scene from the Huangmei Opera Tianxianpei at the Gengsu Theater in Nantong on April 13. It tells the story of the youngest daughter -- the ravishingly beautiful Seventh Fairy Maiden -- of the Jade Emperor of Heaven. The fairy daringly escapes to the world of humans, in search of a love. She meets and marries Dong Yong, a kind-hearted serf, in defiance of her father. She makes the cruel landlord shorten Dong Yong's three years' indenture to 100 days, but just as they are leaving to set up home, the Jade Emperor has her snatched back to heaven, breaking up the happy couple.
