FACTS
A Qing Yi actress portrays a lady of good and sympathetic character. Usually of a quiet, gentle disposition and graceful in her movements, she is the Chinese ideal of a beautiful woman. As a wife she is faithful, as a young girl a model of propriety. Her good breeding is shown by the graceful, flowing movements of her 'water sleeves'. The Qing Yi's costume is elegant, simple and of good quality, but not as vivid in color as that of the Hua Dan. Her singing is of a pure, high-pitched quality.

Inner monologue:
How I yearn to be like Cinderella!
Her carefree lifestyle is so much more enjoyable!
She doesn't need to have her feet binded.
Nor does she need to sew till her fingers bleed.
All she does is to sweep and clean,
to cook and make tea for us.
How I wish I can steal her happiness.
Look at the glee in her eyes!
I've never heard her complain.
Her optimism is what I hate the most.
Even with all my nice clothings and accessories,
I still can't get rid of that joy in her!
Why can't I live a simple yet happy life?
I don't need to be rich to be happy.. Right?

Inner objectives:
I want freedom!
I don't want my feet to be binded!
I want to marry a guy I love, not someone who's just rich!
I want to have happiness!!!
