The Legend of the White Snake is a beautiful and moving folktale. It tells how the fairy maiden Bai Shuzhen struggles against the cruel monk Fa Hai in her pursuit of freedom and happiness.

The legend originally goes back to the Song dynasty (960-1279) but since then the story underwent a series of transformations. The current version is retold by Zhao Qingge in a form of a novel.
