| Set in a historically authentic Ming Dynasty, this Cinderella fable is based on a Chinese folk tale that includes elements of the Brothers Grimm story. Called Lazy One by her merciless Stepmother, Xing Xing has been reduced to servant status after the death of her father. She must tend to the needs of her stepsister, Wei Ping, whose freshly bound feet have rendered her incapable of walking. While fetching water, one of her many thankless chores, Xing Xing is able to find solace in a radiant white carp that she believes to be the spirit of her own mother. Stepmother seizes on the yearly village gala as an opportunity to find a suitable spouse for Wei Ping, Xing Xing's own path dramatically changes. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
