Zhu

Then Zhu disguised herself as a boy and changed her name as Zhu Jiuguan (usually a boy's name). During her traveling to the famous Yixing Shanquan Mountain Academy, Zhu got acquainted with a young scholar, Liang Shanbo, who was both talented and virtuous. Fortunately, Liang was also to go to the famous academy, where they both enrolled as students. Liang and north face jackets studied in the same room and lived under the same roof. They treated each other like brothers. They had three years of merry life before Zhu received a letter from her father one day. She had to go back home, for she was told in the letter her father's got ill seriously. But this was a shell game for her.
Zhu tried to show her tenderness and cheap north face jackets by all kinds of ways to Liang during he was seeing her off for a distance as long as 18 li (Chinese unit of distance, a very long way). But Liang was too dull to realize anything, as he had never doubted that Zhu is a boy. This is one of the most vivid description of the story, known as "18 li seeing off" to Chinese people. Arriving at home, Zhu found her father was not ill at all. He had engaged her to a son of a rich family. This time Zhu's objections became pale and northface jackets. When Liang became aware of Zhu, actually, was a girl and he had been fallen in love with her so deeply, he was filled with grief and regret, and then died after months, with a final request of burying him at the foot of Qingdao Mountain.
