About
Niulang, a humble herding boy, and Zhinü, a celestial weaver girl, defy the boundaries between heaven and earth. Drawn together by fate, their love blossoms but their union angers the gods. As punishment, they are separated by the great sky river, destined to never see each other again. But their devotion moves the heart of the Jade Emperor, who allows them to reunite once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month, when a bridge of magpies brings them together.
