There was a legend in ancient times that a young man accidentally got a human heart, and after washing it in water, it turned into a beautiful girl, and the two got married.

But his vicious sister-in-law thought the girl was a monster, so she smashed the bowl containing the heart. Not feeling satisfied, she chopped the heart into pieces and buried them on the well platform behind the house.

The girl told the young man in a dream that she had turned into a ginger plant and would meet him on the well platform every year when the yellow flowers bloomed. Liu Ming saw densely packed ginger plants on the well platform, so he went to the well platform every year to meet his wife, crying bitterly. Moreover, when harvesting the ginger plants every year, he would not dig them up completely, letting them take root and sprout, hoping to meet his wife again.
