Who can introduce the plot of Leslie Cheung's Farewell My Concubine?

The film revolves around the joys and sorrows of two Peking Opera actors for half a century, showing the thinking and understanding of traditional culture, human living conditions and human nature.

Duan Xiaolou (ZhangFeng yi) and Cheng Dieyi (Leslie Cheung) are a pair of other disciples who grew up together. They are a man and a woman, and they have been working together seamlessly, especially Farewell My Concubine, which is famous all over Beijing. Therefore, they agreed to co-star Farewell My Concubine for life. However, their understanding of the relationship between drama and life is fundamentally different. Duan Xiaolou knew that drama was not life, while Cheng Dieyi did not distinguish between people and drama.

Duan Xiaolou married a famous prostitute Juxian (Gong Li) when he thought it was time to get married, which led Cheng Dieyi to think Juxian was a shameful third party and made Duan Xiaolou a traitor. Since then, the love and hate of the three people around Farewell My Concubine have escalated with the changes of the times, which eventually led to tragedy.
