“Prologue, the desert soul”: in 138BC, Zhang Qian “hollowed out” the west region and opened the Silk Road. With stars in the sky over the Gobi, sand covering the beings, wind blowing in the desert, the Princess had to face her fate to a peace-making marriage even though she had pledged to marry the painter Mo Ding without parental permission.

Scene One ”The Singing Dunes”: rumble echoes, Singing Dunes calling souls, distant camel bell, peaceful drumming, the painter Mo Ding experienced hardships and dangers to the west and finally arrived at the hub of the Silk Road- Dunhuang, only to keep his promise of love.

Scene Two “Dunhang Town”: Triumph horn, opening the Silk Road, lights patrolling the town, the hustle and bustle of the tavern, soft warmth, passing the love between lives, the Princess swapped clothes with her maid and escaped from Hushou’s wedding ceremony to wander around with Mo Ding in Dunhuang.

Scene Three ”Mogao Caves ”: boundless desert along the Silk Road, loneliness and fear were eating them up. Lives were whispering to the steep cliff their colorful dreams. Hushou found their hiding place. The Prince was brought back to the palace. Since then she was never happy again till she died of depression. The painter Mo Ding put his love to the Princess all into his mural paintings and sculptures of Buddha and left the most impressive imprint of the Silk Road.

Scene Four ”Crescent Spring”: looking at the Tanabata night sky, MoDinh was dreaming his dreams. Crescent moon rising out of the blue spring, Mo Ding was holding the princess and dancing in the moon palace. Night without dreams, dreams of the stars, is always the pursuit of life.
