Story:
Long ago, by the Yellow River, there lived a beautiful maiden gathering water plants. Her slender figure was truly captivating.
A young man of similar age noticed her and instantly fell in love, yearning for her even in his dreams.
As their families did not allow interaction, his longing for her grew even stronger.
As the poem goes: 'Eagerly sought, but unobtainable; waking and sleeping, he thought of her. So long, so long, he tossed and turned.'
