王安祈、蔡欣欣、紀蔚然、卓明、萬芳、鴻鴻等名家讚賞推薦
聯合報評選2009年十大「錯過可惜」表演節目

　　兩代之間五款深情，大膽前衛卻又通俗動人；

　　顛鸞倒鳳、笑淚交織，無論你愛的是什麼性別，都要為之揪心動容！

　　語不驚人死不休的明末清初前衛怪才李漁，三百五十年前寫了部奇觀著作；

　　編導周慧玲巧編妙排，顛鸞倒鳳性別反串，延伸演繹這一段奇情真愛的十七世紀同志之戀。看似秀才追名士，也像才子戀佳人，母子是父子，姊弟偽夫妻。劇中人雖僅歷二十餘載歲月，周慧玲卻將時代場景跳格於民國元年「南風」盛行的閩中，及保守壓抑的五O年代台灣；在跨時代、跨地域的特殊氛圍中，陳述這跨越性別的戀人之愛、超越血緣的天倫之情。

劇情簡介

1912（民國元年）至1915，南風盛行的閩中

　　「南風」（男風）盛行的閩中地區，秀才名士許季芳育有一子，妻則因產澇亡故。季芳後與美少男尤瑞郎相戀，尤父要求重金下聘，以解家困。季芳於是變賣家產，聘娶瑞郎回家，並共盡孝道，奉養尤父終老。瑞郎感念季芳情義，自宮以表堅貞，兩人誓守終生。好景不常，正當許尤沈浸在愛情之際，季芳舊愛--同時也曾追求瑞郎的南風者陳大龍，因妒構陷季芳「私養閹童、擅立內監，圖謀不軌」。季芳被拘捕至法庭公審，法官忌南風，反欲酷刑罰瑞郎，眾南風者圍觀，爭睹瑞郎美色。季芳勇救瑞郎，卻經不起棒刑而死，臨終向瑞郎託孤，並囑遷走他鄉，遠離南風者。

1959至1964，保守壓抑的台灣

　　改名瑞娘的瑞郎，與喜著男裝的表姊肖江，如父如母合力撫養季芳遺孤承先長大成人。瑞娘為避免悲劇重演，極力防止承先與男性友人交往，甚至效法孟母三遷。但承先終究愛上昔日仇人陳大龍的侄子，幾番轉折，瑞娘終於接受這個事實，認可了這第二代的戀情，而承先也終於清楚了母親隱藏多年的身世。瑞娘亦母亦父，獨立扶養承先為人中龍鳳，經校長薦舉，瑞娘獲頒模範母親。

　　The story begins with the romance between Xu Jifang and You Ruilang in middle Fujian where Nanfeng fashion (homosexual love affair) is commonly practiced; time: 1912, the first year of the Chinese Republic.  Jifang, the last selected xiucai from Qing Dynasty has a son and wife, who died from birth giving.  Jifang falls in love with the beautiful youth, Ruilang, and puts himself in poverty for the betrothal gifts demanded by Ruilang’s poor and needy father.  Jifang also serves Ruilang’s father and mourns his death due to his deep affection for Ruilang.  Determined to remain true and loyal to Jifang, Ruilang castrates himself in order to repay Jifang’s passion and favor.

　　Jifang and Ruilang’s sweet love is deprived at the height of their passion.  Due to his jealousy, Chen Dalong, Jifang’s previous partner plots against him and has him arrested for interrogation.  Dalong accuses Jifang of “performing castration in his own household, having eunuch serve him, and intending to plot revolt against the nation.”  The judge punishes Ruilang instead due to his contempt against Nanfeng.  As Ruilang undergoes the punishment of caning, people who are into the fashion surround him in order to examine his dainty flesh.  In order to protect Ruilang, Jifang dies from the punishment.  He leaves Ruilang with his dying words, urging Ruilang to take care of his only son, leave their hometown and stay away from Nanfeng.

　　The tension engendered by generation gap and personal/family history outlines the second part of the story.  Situated in Taiwan from 1959 to 1964, Part Two is unfolded with Ruilang and Xiaojiang’s (Ruilang’s cousin who is always in men’s wear) unconventional relationship and their unconditional devotion to each other.  Ruilang, who changes his name to Ruiniang raises Chengxian (Jifang’s only son) with Xiaojiang.  In order to protect Chengxian from the disaster caused by Nanfeng, Ruiniang even follows the model of Mencius’s mother of house-moving , endeavoring to forbid Chengxian becoming intimate with male friends.  Despite Ruiniang’s efforts, Chengxian still falls in love with Chen Dalong’s nephew, Chen Nianzu.  Ruiniang finally accepts their relationship in the course of time.  Ruiniang plays the roles of both father and mother; such virtue is further confirmed by Chengxian’s graduating at the top of his class.  Ruiniang receives the Model Mother Award because of Principal Zheng’s (Zheng One) recommendation.
