Du Siniang met the affectionate Li Jia, sadly and angrily sank the treasure chest, and repaid his benefactor Liu Yuchun
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, in the willow lane of the flower street in the south of Beijing, there was a famous prostitute Du Shi Niang. She is naturally beautiful, can sing and dance, although she is in the wind and dust, her heart is higher than the sky. Every day, he wears red makeup and welcomes guests from all over the world with a smile, but it is difficult to hide the faint sadness in his heart. Du Siniang knows that youth is fleeting, and always hopes to find a lover who treats her sincerely, so that she can get rid of the sea of suffering and live a plain and happy life.
In this prosperous place, there is a son named Li Jia, who has a solid family and a dignified appearance. When he first met Du Shi Niang, he was attracted by her beauty and talent, and the two soon fell in love. Li Jia and Du Shi Niang spent the moon every day, swore an alliance, promised to redeem her and take her back to her hometown to get married.
Du Shi Niang listened to Li Jia's oath, and her heart was overjoyed, she hid the gold, silver and jewelry she had accumulated over the years in an exquisite treasure chest, ready to spend the rest of her life with Li Jia in the future. However, she doesn't know that people's hearts are fickle, and she doesn't know the dangers hidden behind this prosperity.
One day, Li Jia's father was furious when he learned that his son was entangled with a prostitute. He sent a letter and ordered Li Jia to return home immediately and cut off contact with Du Shi Niang. After Li Jia received the letter, he was terrified, he was afraid of his father's punishment, and he was reluctant to Du Shi Niang. When he was in a dilemma, he actually had the idea of abandoning Du Shiniang and going home alone.
Du Siniang noticed the change in Li Jia, and although she had doubts in her heart, she still had a glimmer of hope. She thought that maybe Li Jia was just temporarily confused and would eventually return to her side. However, what she was waiting for was Li Jia's decision - he wanted to go home, and he couldn't take her away.
Du Siniang was struck by lightning, she couldn't believe her ears. She asked Li Jia why he was so unkind. Li Jia was hesitant, only saying that his father's order was difficult to disobey. Du Shi Niang's heart was like a knife, she looked at the man in front of her, her eyes were full of disappointment and anger.
At this moment, a businessman named Liu Yuchun walked into Du Shi Niang's boudoir. Liu Yuchun has always had a friendship with Du Shi Niang, and after he learned of Li Jia's decision, he was very unhappy. He persuaded Li Jia, hoping that he would change his mind, but Li Jia had already made up his mind not to look back.
Liu Yuchun looked at Du Shi Niang's teary-eyed appearance, and felt very unbearable. He took out his silver taels and wanted to help Du Siniang redeem himself, but Du Siniang shook his head. She picked up the key to the treasure chest, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
She walked to the window, opened it, and shouted at the bustling street outside: "Li Jia, Li Jia, you are ruthless, why should I be interested! The jewels in this treasure chest are all my savings over the years." Now, I will sink them into this mighty river, and let them disappear with my infatuation!"
After speaking, Du Shi Niang threw the key out of the window, then turned around and returned to the house, took out the jewels in the treasure chest, and threw them out of the window one by one. Those dazzling jewels glittered in the sun, but in an instant they sank to the bottom of the river and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Li Jia was shocked. He wanted to stop Du Shi Niang, but it was too late. He looked at the jewels that had sunk to the bottom of the river, and an indescribable sense of remorse and regret welled up in his heart.
After Du Siniang threw away the jewelry, she glanced at Li Jia coldly, turned to Liu Yuchun and said, "Brother Liu, thank you for your care over the years. Now I have no worries, and I just want to never set foot in this dusty land again in the next life. ”
With that, she turned around and walked out of the room and disappeared into the vast sea of people. Li Jia stood in place in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew he had lost a woman he loved and jewels that would have given him a better life.
And Liu Yuchun looked at the back of Du Shi Niang's departure, and was full of emotion in his heart. He knew that Du Siniang was a loving and righteous woman, but it was a pity that fate made her meet a thin lover like Li Jia. He silently walked out of the room, secretly deciding in his heart that he would do more good deeds in the future to make up for all the injustices in this world.
Since then, the story of Du Shi Niang has become a good story in the willow lane of Flower Street. People say that she is an infatuated woman, but it's a pity that she is not ladylike. And the jewels in the treasure chest have also become a legend in people's mouths, whenever the river is at high tide, it seems that you can still see the bright light flickering in the water.
And Li Jia was spurned by the world because of his injustice. After he returned home, although he lived a rich life, he was always unable to let go of the emotional entanglement with Du Shi Niang in his heart. Whenever in the dead of night, he would always think of Du Siniang's resolute eyes and the jewels that sank to the bottom of the river, and an indescribable pain surged in his heart.
As for Liu Yuchun, he has a deeper understanding of life because of Du Shi Niang's matter. He understood that money and material things are important, but human hearts and emotions are even more priceless. Since then, he has cherished his friends and relatives even more, and always reminded himself not to become a heartless person like Li Jia.
As the years go by, the flowers bloom and fall. The story of Du Shi Niang has been circulated among the people for a long time and has become a legend in the hearts of generations after generations. And Du Siniang herself, after leaving Li Jia, went incognito and lived a plain and quiet life. She used her own hands to work hard to support herself, no longer sending people under the fence, and no longer being looked down upon.
In a cottage in the countryside, she grows flowers and grass, weaves cloth and sews clothes. She often stands in front of the window, looking into the distance, there is no resentment and unwillingness in her heart, only a quiet and indifferent. She knows that everything in the past has gone with the wind, and now she just needs to cherish the time in front of her and live each day well.
And Liu Yuchun went to visit several times after learning about Du Siniang's whereabouts. He was very relieved to see that Du Siniang was living a peaceful life. They often sit together, drink tea and talk about it, and reminisce about the past. Du Siniang is full of gratitude to Liu Yuchun, she knows that if it were not for Liu Yuchun's help and enlightenment, she might still be immersed in the pain of the past and unable to extricate herself.
Liu Yuchun often encouraged Du Siniang, telling her that although life is full of ups and downs and setbacks, as long as there is light in her heart, she can illuminate the way forward. He also often brought some help and care to Du Siniang in life, making her feel the warmth and true feelings of the world.

She told Liu Yuchun that she had let go of her past grievances and hatreds, and she only cherished and thanked her current life in her heart. Liu Yuchun deeply admired Du Siniang's wisdom in life, and he often asked Du Siniang for the truth of life, hoping to learn more from her.
In the end, Du Shi Niang passed away peacefully on a quiet night. Her death did not cause much turmoil, because her life has been wonderful and legendary enough. And Liu Yuchun sent her on the last journey, and he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Du Siniang could live a happier and more fulfilling life in the next life.

He knows that although Du Siniang has let go of her past grievances, there is always a softness in her heart, which is the desire for true love and happiness. He often stood alone in front of the hut where Du Siniang once lived, recalling the bits and pieces of the two getting along, and an endless sadness surged in his heart.
Time passed, and Liu Yuchun also entered the twilight years. Although his life is still rich, his heart always feels empty. He often thought of Du Siniang's bright eyes and determined gaze, and those memories became the most precious treasure in his later life.
At the last moment of Liu Yuchun's life, he lay on the sickbed, looking at the sky outside the window, and his heart was full of emotion. He recalled his life, there were gains and losses, joys and sorrows. And what makes him feel most gratified is that he once met a confidant like Du Shi Niang.

Before his death, Liu Yuchun left a suicide note. He wrote in his suicide note: "I have read countless people in my life, but Du Shi Niang is the most unforgettable. Although she is in the dust, her heart is higher than the sky, and although she encounters little affection, she still sticks to her true feelings. She used her own experience to tell us that although life is short, true love is eternal. I hope that future generations of people can be like Du Shi Niang, cherish the truth and stick to their hearts. ”
