Mr. Dong Guo<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, there was a kind-hearted man named Dong Guo. One day on his way home\uff0che met a wounded wolf. The wolf asked him for help by crying pitifully, "Help\uff01Help\uff01Sir! The hunter is going to kill me."<\/p>\n

Mr. Dong Guo felt sorry for the wolf\uff0cso he hid the wolf in his bag. When the hunter came and asked him if he had seen a wolf, he told a lie. The hunter left and the wolf was saved.<\/p>\n

Getting out of the bag, however, the wolf jumped at him with sharp teeth and glaring eyes. Mr. Dong Guo begged to the wolf and suggested that they should ask someone old if he should be ate or not. An old tree and an old cow blamed human being for their selfishness, and encouraged the wolf to eat Mr. Dong Guo. Just at this moment came an old man, he criticized the wolf for his ungratefulness and finally killed the cruel wolf with his hoe.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dong Guo was saved. He was thankful to the farmer. He kept saying, "I was wrong. I mustn’t have shown any mercy on the enemy."<\/p>\n

The Butterfly Lovers<\/span>

The Butterfly Lovers is a Chinese legend of a tragic love story of a pair of lovers, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai , whose names form the title of the story. The title is often abbreviated to Liang Zhu and often regarded as the Chinese equivalent of Romeo and Juliet. <\/span><\/span>

Zhu Yingtai is a beautiful and intelligent young woman, the ninth child and only daughter of the wealthy Zhu family. Although traditions of that era discourage females from going to school, Zhu manages to convince her father to allow her to attend classes in disguise as a young man. During her journey to school, she meets Liang Shanbo, a poor student who is also going to study in the same school. They chat and feel a strong affinity for each other at their first meeting. Hence, they gather some soil as incense and take an oath of fraternity in the pavilion of a thatched bridge.<\/span>

They study together for the next three years in school and Zhu gradually falls in love with Liang. Although Liang equals Zhu in their studies, he is still a bookworm and fails to notice the feminine characteristics exhibited by his classmate.<\/span>

One day, Zhu receives a letter from her father, asking her to return home as soon as possible. Zhu has no choice but to pack her belongings immediately and bid Liang farewell. However, in her heart, she has already confessed her love for Liang and is determined to be with him for all eternity. Before her departure, she reveals her true identity to the headmaster’s wife and requests her to hand over a jade pendant to Liang as a betrothal gift.<\/span>

Months later, when Liang visits Zhu, he discovers that she is actually a woman. They are devoted to and passionate ab0ut each other and they make a vow of "till death do us part". The joy of their reunio is short-lived as Zhu’s parents have already arranged for her to marry a man from a rich family called Ma Wencai. Liang is heartbroken when he hears the news and his health gradually deteriorates until he becomes critically ill. He dies in office later as a county magistrate.<\/span>

On the day of Ma and Zhu’s marriage, mysterious whirlwinds prevent the wedding procession from escorting the bride beyond Liang’s grave, which lies along the journey. Zhu leaves the procession to pay her respects to Liang. She descends in bitter despair and begs for the grave to open up. Suddenly, the grave opens with a clap of thunder. Without further hesitation, Zhu throws herself into the grave to join Liang. Their spirits turn into a pair of beautiful butterflies and emerge from the grave. They fly away together as a pair of butterflies and are never to be separated again.<\/span><\/p>\n
