Raise the Red Lantern

Synopsis by Zhang Yimou

Prologue
1920s, China. In a quiet courtyard a young girl is forced into a bridal palanquin. She is going to be the
second concubine of the Master of the house. Before getting into the palanquin, she remembers her
childhood lover a young actor from a Peking Opera group (Xi Ban).
Act I
In the happy and joyful atmosphere of the wedding, the wife and the first concubine welcome the
second concubine of the master of the house into the family with complex emotional undertones. The
wedding night, despite her desperate resistance, the bride is finally overcome by her tragic destiny.

Act II
The master passes time with his wives by watching Peking Operas and playing mah-jong. The second
concubine sneaks out for a while to meet her former lover. But their secret is discovered by the first
concubine who has ulterior motives.

Act III
The two lovers continue their love affair in secret. The first concubine tells the master about their affair.
The master catches the two lovers who bravely confess without hesitation. The first concubine tries to
use this occasion to renew her favor of the master. However, instead of that she receives a heavy slap
on the face from the master who is beyond himself. Driven by depression, she grabs the lighting stick,
which symbolized the masters power over his household and lights all the red lanterns hanging in her
yard. In great fury, the master orders his minions to execute the first concubine who dares to break his
house law.

Epilogue
The two lovers and the first concubine are taken to the execution ground. Facing death, they forget
their hostilities, and reconcile with each other. In tolerance and affection, they embrace together.
Feudalism strangles their young lives and beautiful love.
