Whenever people pass by this scene they are touched and have tears in their eyes. In traditional society where marriage was arranged by a matchmaker with the backing of one's parents, lovers were often torn between filial obedience and loyalty to each other. In many cases the only way for a couple to avoid breaching one of these affections was to end their lives.
