Wrongly condemned to death, the courtesan Su San, known as Yu Tang Chun, waits for justice until her former love Wang Jinlong takes up her case, in the China National Peking Opera Company’s 2027 New Year series.
The performance is in Chinese.
In the Ming dynasty the celebrated courtesan Su San, known as Yu Tang Chun, meets Wang Jinlong, and the two vow to grow old together. When his money runs out, the madam throws him out of the house. Su San refuses to receive any other guest, so the madam tricks her into being sold as a concubine to Shen Yanlin, a merchant from Shanxi.
Shen’s jealous wife plots to kill her, but it is Shen Yanlin who mistakenly eats the poisoned noodles and dies. Falsely accused, Su San is sentenced to death. On the road under escort, the guard Chong Gongdao takes pity on her and adopts her as his goddaughter. Wang Jinlong, now an official and inspecting Shanxi, reviews the case and learns that the condemned woman is Su San. With the help of the provincial treasurer Pan Bizheng and the provincial judge Liu Bingyi, the lovers are reunited.
