As fate has it, he falls in love with the General’s beautiful daughter, Yueya. But the powerful General forbids the relationship. The couple runs away and ends up in a cave, where Yueya’s dancing inspires Mogao to paint. As the events of the drama unfold, the depth of their love is revealed. It is this deep binding sacrificial love that inspires Mogao’s greatest masterpieces.
