LOVE IN A CABIN

From the clothes and style of this Alan Tang romance I believe that it was made in the mid-1970s. The story was written by Hsuan Hsiao Fu who is the author of many Chinese romance novels. This movie came without subtitles so I wish to thank Alan Tang fan Irene for supplying the story and cast details.

The Story

Love in a Cabin is a romantic tragedy featuring a love triangle. Alan Tang accidentally meets a beautiful girl played by Chen Chen in a record store and then gives her a ride home on his motorcycle. Her home is a cabin in the woods. He comes in, they listen to music and enjoy each other's company. The relationship progresses over time, they do a mock wedding/committment ceremony and become lovers. There are many romantic/fun scenes involving the lovers including their painting the cabin and each other.

Chen Chen's current, older boyfriend played by Chiang Ming arrives on the scene and creates trouble. Among other things he goes to Tang's father and tells him about their affair. Tang's father asks Chen Chen to leave Tang and says that Tang will be sent abroad to study.

Later when Tang goes to Chen Chen and proposes, she tells him that they are not compatible in terms of age and that she needs a more financially secure man to support her. This makes Tang mad and he vows to win the karate championship to win her back. He loses and ends up in the hospital where a further misunderstanding occurs. When Chen Chen goes to visit Tang, she is told by a lady that she is Tang's childhood love and that they are going abroad to study together. Tang is unaware of this as the lady has been secretly put up to this by Chaing Ming.

Chen Chen agrees to marry Chaing Ming, does so and then finds out the truth by accident from the lady at the wedding celebration. Chen Chen refuses to consumate her marriage with Chaing Ming and then learns she is pregnant with Tang's child.

WARNING CONCLUSION: Chaing Ming is furious and slaps Chen Chen around after learning she is pregnant. He ties her up and invites Tang to his house. He tells Tang that she is pregnant and that he will raise Tang's child. He also tells Tang that Chen Chen no longer loves him (Tang). Before he leaves, Tang asks Chaing Ming to tell Chen Chen that he has painted the cabin white and that he will be staying there. Chen Chen gets free and goes to the cabin after Tang. She is horrified to find that he has had a motorcycle accident and crashed into the cabin. As Tang is dying, she tells him she loves him and will bring up their child by herself.

The older boyfriend scowls unhappily at the pair and plans his course of action to force them apart.

They smile, they look, they kiss and they are happy lovers.They dance, they go to the ocean, they hike up a mountain and they have a mock wedding.
