first appeared. First they burst into tears, then they smiled, and finally they left in despair, helplessness and sadness.
Yun Niang came to pray to Xing Yun for a fortune telling, "Where is my husband now?"

But Yun Niang still begged and begged, even kneeling down in front of Xingyun, but she could only get one hexagram.
"Someone from the same hometown may have returned or died in the war, but he has disappeared. It has been fifteen years now, and I still can't find any trace of him. I can't ask about his life or death. I have sewn my clothes and have nowhere to send them. I have written No one can read letters."
What she wanted was just a thought, a hope, but it had been fifteen years, and the truth must be cruel.
Praying to no avail, Yun Niang finally left in despair and helplessness, crying bitterly.

She would rather lose her life to be with her husband Saburo, and she didn't care at all.
But for Sanlang, the final choice is to leave, because he really loves Sanniang.
Yun Niang was naturally reluctant to part with the crying scene here. After all, they had just reunited and were about to separate again. There was no place to express the pain and pain in their hearts, which made the crying scene even more intense at this time.
And at the end, after Sanlang completely disappeared and left, Yun Niang was still crying, but her crying was calmer and relieved.
Because she understood her husband's choice, and her wish was fulfilled and her thoughts were over, she chose to respect her husband and say goodbye to her husband in the past.
