People tell him, "Forget her."

But Ma Lu reply, "To forget is only a matter general people can make, but I have decided not to forget her."

This is classic dialogue from Rhinoceros in Love, which has caused a sensation throughout China since debuting in 1999.

Rhinoceros in Love, also directed by Meng Jinghui, is about the broken dreams of Ma Lu, whose ambition to become an airline captain is shattered by poor eyesight. Instead he works at a zoo tending a rhino and falls hopelessly in love with Mingming, a girl whose heart belongs to another.

The story of Ma Lu and Mingming in this play lets the people in this society that no longer believes in love experience a crazy and inexplicable emotional ride.
