Hey there! Have you ever heard of the Legend of the White Snake? 🐍 It’s one of the most famous and magical stories from China! Let’s dive into this enchanting tale set at the beautiful West Lake. 🌊
Once upon a time, there was a kind-hearted young man named Xu Xian. One day, while he was on a boat at West Lake, the sky suddenly turned grey, and it began to rain. ☔️
At the same time, two sisters, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, were strolling by the lake. But here’s a secret: Bai Suzhen was actually a white snake spirit who took the form of a lovely woman, and Xiaoqing was a green snake spirit! 🐍🐍
As the rain poured down, the sisters needed shelter. They asked the boatman to stop, and hopped onto the boat with Xu Xian. Being the gentleman he was, Xu Xian offered his umbrella to the sisters. ❤️
This kind gesture marked the beginning of a wonderful and magical friendship, and eventually, a deep love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen. Their story is full of adventure, romance, and a bit of magic! ✨
Recently, actors from the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre performed this special scene where Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen first meet. They brought the characters to life with beautiful costumes and amazing acting! 🎭
Isn’t it fascinating how stories can transport us to different times and places? Maybe one day, you’ll get to visit West Lake and imagine the magic yourself! 🌟
