Let us start with the play called Change the face. The actor here can change his face ten or more times in front of the audiences. It is one of the traditional Chinese drama called Chuang Ju which originally from Sichun.
This tree is called the first wife tree. It was planed by the famous business man Chenfang who was a millionaire in Hawaii originally from Zhuhai to the memory of his first wife. It is said that his first wife married him at 16 years old and gave birth to three children for him and then after he moved to Hawaii, he left her behind. When he came back to China becoming a local officer, his first wife already died so he planed the tree for remembering her.
This is called the second wife tree. After Chenfang went to Hawaii, he became a successful business man and married to a princess Julia. Julia gave birth to 16 children and when Chenfang decided to go back to China, she refused to go with him, Chenfang planed this tree to remembering her at the same time. Every year, this tree is luxuriant and rich of fruits, it is said because Julia had so many children.
