In the first scene of “The Peony Pavilion,” it is written, “As long as love endures, let no heart be broken; upon the Peony Terrace, three lifetimes of fate shall meet,” referring to the love story of Du Liniang, who dies and is reborn to reunite with Liu Mengmei.

“Three lives” is a Buddhist term, denoting “past life,” “present life,” and “future life.” It has also come to serve as a literary allusion to predestined karmic ties from previous existences.
