{MANDARIN CHINESE} (TV)
Summary
The second of two programs on this tape. Part ten of
thirty-six in this television adaptation of the classic
Chinese novel, "Dream of Red Mansions," written by Cao
Xueqin in the mid-1700s. While this adaptation follows
the love triangle between the main male heir (Jia Baoyu)
and his two female first cousins (Lin Daiyu and Xue
Baochai), it also shows the rise and fall of the four
elite families (Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue) of the novel.
In this installment, Jia Baoyu, his sister, and female
cousins relocate to the "Garden of Grand View"; Jia Lian
has an affair with a female servant; Lin Daiyu gets
upset at Xue Baochai's birthday party; and finally Baoyu
confesses his love to Daiyu as they're reading the
famous romance novel "Western Pavilion." Part ten opens
with Jia Baoyu, his sister, and female cousins happy to
be moving into the "Garden of Grand View." Back in the
main Jia complex, Wang Xifeng's baby daughter has the
measles. Her husband Jia Lian is forced to sleep in
another room, and he takes the opportunity to have an
affair with a servant named Miss Duo. She leaves him a
lock of hair to remember her by which Pinger (Xifeng's
first personal maid) later finds, but Pinger decides not
to report it to Xifeng. More days pass, it's Xue
Baochai's birthday, and everyone is enjoying an opera at
her birthday party. After the performance is over, Wang
Xifeng points to one of the singers and asks everyone
whom she resembles. Shi Xiangyun, another of Baoyu's
female cousins, bursts out that the singer looks like
Lin Daiyu. Daiyu is upset at being compared to a
low-born singer and leaves the party abruptly with
Xiangyun and Baoyu. The two girls quarrel and the
disagreements escalate when Bayou attempts to smooth
things over, but the whole unhappy incident eventually
ends in laughter. After some time, Mingyan, one of
Baoyu's male servants, brings Baoyu a bag of "improper"
romantic books. Daiyu arrives and joins him in reading
the famous love story "Western Pavilion." Baoyu takes
the opportunity to confess his love for Daiyu by
comparing them to the lovers of the story, but before
Daiyu can give him a reply, a servant announces that
Baoyu has been summoned by his father, and he
reluctantly leaves Daiyu.
