The Xiang opera Reunion tells the story of a man named Liu Lujing who went to the capital to seek an official position, but did not return home for many years and was rumoured to be dead. After Liu Lujing got the official position, he went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors and found his wife Xiao Suzhen visiting a new tomb, on the gravestone of which his name was engraved. But they didn’t recognise each other until Xiao complained about the mistreatment she had suffered.  When Liu Lujing took out their token of affection, the couple recognised each other and finally got together before they returned home happily.
