Farewell My Concubine

Duan Xiaolou (Zhang Fengyi) and Cheng Dieyi (Leslie Cheung) grew up together as brothers. One acted as a female actor and the other acted as a female actor. They have always worked together flawlessly, especially in "Farewell My Concubine", which became famous in the capital. For this reason, the two agreed to co-star in "Farewell My Concubine" for the rest of their lives. However, the two have fundamentally different understandings of the relationship between drama and life. Duan Xiaolou understands that drama is not life, while Cheng Dieyi is indifferent between drama and drama. Duan Xiaolou married the famous prostitute Juxian (Gong Li) when he thought it was time to start a family and start a business. Cheng Dieyi believed that Juxian was a shameful third party, making Duan Xiaolou a traitor. From then on, the love-hate battle between the three people around a play "Farewell My Concubine" began to escalate with the changes of the times, eventually leading to tragedy.
