安国夫人

Madam Liang Hongyu

The Peking Opera film tells the story of the period after the “Jingkang Incident”, when Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty was extremely cautious and sought peace through concessions, leading to large areas of land being occupied by the Jin troops. In the third year of the Jianyan period (1129 AD), in Lin’an City, rebels forced Emperor Gaozong to abdicate. In this moment of crisis, Madam Liang Hongyu courageously left her infant son and traveled hundreds of miles overnight to Xiu State. There, she and her husband Han Shizhong devised a plan to stabilize the situation, protect the inner court, and quell the rebellion through a series of coordinated actions.
