Two Stage Sisters

In 1935 a runaway ''tongyangxi'', Zhu Chunhua, takes refuge at an itinerant Yue Opera troupe performing at a Shaoxing County village. The head of the troupe, A’Xin, intends to send the girl away, but Yue Opera teacher Xing, seeing her potential, takes Chunhua in as a disciple and trains her. Chunhua signs a deal with the troupe and becomes the performing partner (in a Dan (Chinese opera) role) to the teacher’s daughter Yuehong, the latter performing as a Sheng (Chinese opera).
