Taiwan’s Legendary Comedians in a Classic Musical Comedy

Growing up together in the countryside, ZHANG Di and Hui-zu’s romance blossoms quietly amidst old family rivalries. When a failed proposal leaves ZHANG Di penniless, Hui-zu flees in anger, prompting ZHANG Di and his friend Da-cun to embark on a comical journey from rural villages to bustling cities, filled with hilarious misunderstandings—even mistaken insanity. Featuring captivating performances by legendary YANG Li-hua, this groundbreaking fusion of Taiwanese Opera and Taiyupian comedy reflects the shifting rhythms between rural tradition and urban ambition in 1960s Taiwan.
