[Background] After a failed attempt to carve out a career in Taiwan, director Li Hanxiang returned to Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Studio. At that time, the popularity of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was soaring, yet most productions on the market were poorly made. Films such as the unnamed director's "Dream of the Red Chamber," another company's "Awakening of the Red Chamber," and the even cruder "Spring Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Spring in the Red Chamber" were amateurish and crude, insulting Cao Xueqin's masterpiece. Thus, having been influenced by classical Chinese literature, Li Hanxiang decided to create a work of artistic quality that could match it. Boldly casting newcomers Lin Qingxia and Zhang Aijia, who had attended an acting training class in Taiwan, he initially switched their roles during filming, an unintentional act that made him the discoverer of Lin Qingxia's cross-dressing role.
