It is said that “Wiling Grave”, the story about “five
sons cried at a grave ”in Chinese, is an opera in the
earliest Taiwan.
The ancient story is about a rich man, who had five
sons, decided to remarry and expected to take good care
of his five sons after his wife died.
The fact is against his will. The step mother didn’t
treat his sons well. She abused the five kids. The
five children often went to weep at their mother’s grave after their father passed away.
When they grew up, one by one, the five children won
their champion after their hard study.
When coming home gloriously, they did not take a revenge
on their step mother. They treated her will just like
their own birth mother. The step mother felt so shame about what she had done before, and be a
loving mother from then on.
