Butterfly Lovers shown here in Statuary White, Mugwort Blue and Rainbow Glass is inspired by the Chinese legend of a tragic love story of a pair of lovers Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai who are also known as the Chinese Romeo and Juliet.
A white marble statue portraying Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the two lovers who eventually turned into butterflies, was placed in the square in front of the Juliet Museum in central Verona, the literary hometown of Romeo and Juliet during the 2008 Sino-Italian love culture festival.
Butterfly Lovers wish “all shall be well, and Jack shall have Jill”.
