Long long ago…---A story about the Great Wall Long long ago, Meng Jiangnü (mnng jyang-nyoo),our heroine, saved a man named Fan Xiliang (fan sshee-lyang). They fell in love with each other and got married. Unfortunately, Fan Xiliang was captured to do hard labor at a Great Wall construction site. Meng Jiangnü waited day and night for her husband. Winter came, but Fan Xiliang failed to return. Meng Jiangnü sewed some warm clothes to take her husband. She arrived at the construction site, but was informed that Fan Xiliang had died and his body was built into the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnü stayed by the wall and wept for days and nights. Deeply moved by the girl's bitter weeping, the Great Wall collapsed and she finally found Fan Xiliang’s body. This story of love and devotion was widely known in China.
