HONG LOU MENG: XIANGFUREN FUSHEN HUAN DAOFU {DREAM OF RED MANSIONS: THE FORTUNATE GIVE THANKS} {#98} {PT. 13 OF 36} {MANDARIN CHINESE} (TV)

Summary

The first of two programs on this tape. Part thirteen 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 and Lin Daiyu's courtship continues and begins to provoke reactions. Part thirteen begins with Jia Baoyu running after Lin Daiyu to find out why she's angry with him. Daiyu finally tells him how she was locked out when she came to visit him the previous night. Baoyu swears it was not his idea, and that he will punish the maid who turned her away. Later, Jia Yuanchun sends some gifts, but while Baoyu and Xue Baochai have the same gift, Daiyu has a lesser gift, and this makes Baoyu wonder why some seem to favor the pairing of him with Baochai, rather than with Daiyu. The whole family goes to stay at a Daoist Temple for the next few days. The temple keeper (a wise old Daoist monk) mentions Baoyu's jade pendant and Baochai's gold pendant, also suggesting that Baoyu and Baochai are a pair, increasing Baoyu and Daiyu's nervousness about their future. Daiyu falls ill the next day, and Baoyu goes to visit her, but they end up having a big fight about the jade and gold pendants. By the end Baoyu wants to throw his jade pendant away. This upsets everyone so much that Mother Jia must intervene to settle the fight, and she scolds them for their childish behavior.
