Zhi Yin (1981)

During the Xinhai period, Japan forced Yuan Shi Kai to sign the treasonous “Twenty-One Demands.” Ignoring public opposition, Yuan Shi Kai yielded and signed the agreement, triggering a nationwide wave of anti-Japanese resistance, which he then brutally suppressed with military force. Witnessing Yuan Shi Kai’s tyranny, the Yunnan uprising general Cai E prepares to launch a campaign against him. The famed courtesan Xiao Feng Xian admires Cai E’s reputation but is never able to truly enter his heart. Through the melody of “High Mountains and Flowing Water,” she reveals her tragic past and her wish to eliminate the traitor, and the two come to recognize each other as kindred spirits. On the eve of the uprising, Xiao Feng Xian is imprisoned while trying to cover for Cai E. Cai E fires the first shot of the anti-Yuan campaign in Yunnan, and provinces across the country rise in response. (Source: Chinese = Douban || Translation = kisskh) Edit Translation
