What happens
Princess Chang Ping (Chinese: 帝女花; pinyin: Dì nǚ huā; lit. 'The Flower Princess') is a 1976 Hong Kong Cantonese opera film directed John Woo. It is a remake of director Wong Tin-lam's 1959 film Tragedy of the Emperor's Daughter, itself based on the Cantonese opera Di Nü Hua (The Flower Princess). Tang Disheng, one of the co-writers of the 1959 film, retains a story credit for the 1976 remake. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
