眼看他高樓起

I have seen him climbing to the parlor,

眼看他宴賓客

I have seen him hosting guests,

眼看他樓塌了

I have seen him crumbling with the parlor.

桃花扇(tao hua shan; a peach flower fan) is a play, or an opera from 明朝(ming dynasty) by 孔尙任(kong shang ren). Its a love story of an young scholar, 侯方域 (Hou fangyu) and a courtesan 李香君(li xiang jun).

The story is about 侯方域 trying to help 李香君. Hou gave a fan to Li as a token, with a poem on the fan. But Hou was dragged to political distraction, they parted. There was a liese who wanted to have Li as his concubine. Li tried to save her love for Hou. She struggled and resisted, then she got hurt. Her blood scattered on the fan. Later, the leise picked the fan and made the blood stains to peach flowers.

Fortunately, Li succeed to flee to a mountain then she became a Taorist. Finally, Hou and Li met in that mountain, and that time Li still had the fan. They felt they were falling in love to each other again. But her mentor found out, the mentor tore the fan, Scolding their stupidity. Because that time, the entire country was suffering ruination. So they both became taorists. I know what a rubbish ending. I usually blame those to 孔子.

The hero and the heroine are based on real persons, also the description of ming dynasty era shows historical values. It's been dramatised with many different format; films, tvseries..etc.

This story is very similar to Liu qianqiu situation. She was promised to be saved by Yu qifeng. The difference is that Yu qifeng betrayed Liu qianqiu, where 侯方域 had not.

I'm not so sure exactly who is saying the phrase in what circumstances.. but the title 桃花扇 generally means chastity and unbreakable love. Wen kexing was saying that while watching Gao chong and others had fought.

So I'm guessing, It must be 李香君 that she was lamenting about her life saying she had seen many people who would have done anything for her but they had just disappeared. She would keep selling her laugh and singing until she got old and lost.

Therefore, Wen kexing is wishing them collapse? Whatever they're saying doesn't really matter that because what they are doing doesn't mean anything to him but his plan??
