Willow, The Legend...Once there lived a very wealthy mandarin who
had a beautiful daughter named Hong Shee, who fell in love with her fathers
secretary, a man named Chang. To keep them apart, the father imprisoned
his daughter in the palace. One day she escaped, and the two lovers raced
over the bridge to a waiting boat. They managed to elude the mandarin,
reach the boat, and sail away. A storm developed; the boat foundered; and
the couple were lost at sea. It is said that two love birds appeared immediately
thereafter - the spirits of Hong Shee and Chang, and live on to this day.
