The story of Princess Chang Ping (帝女花) is a Chinese legend about a princess and her lover at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It has been made into a Cantonese Opera by Tang Ti-sheng, a very prolific Cantonese opera adaptor of the early to mid-1900s. The premiere was featured in the Lee Theatre on 7 June 1957 and has achieved amazing box office results since then.

The popularity of the show was attributed partly to the fact that it featured eminent Canton pop stars Ren Jian-Hui and Bai Xue-xian of the 1950s.

A film version of the opera was released in 1975, directed by John Woo and starred Long Jin-seng and Mei Xue-si, disciples of Ren Jian-Hui and Bai Xue-xian.
