Little Bean was dressed up as a girl when she was young, which wasn't a very important part of the movie. In the movie Farewell My Concubine, the character Little Bean was created by Chen Kaige, who was based on Cheng Dieyi. In the movie, Chen Kaige portrayed Little Bean as a female character to express the inner contradictions and emotional conflicts of the character. At the same time, he also expressed the differences and contradictions between men and women in traditional Chinese culture. Although this plot was not very important in the movie, it was a very important part to understand the background and storyline of the movie.
