十年过去了。小豆子和小石头长大成人，艺名分别叫程蝶衣和段小楼。两人合作演出《霸王别姬》，在北平城声名鹊起。程蝶衣扮演虞姬，段小楼扮演霸王，他们的表演被称为一绝。

Ten years have passed. Little Douzi and Little Shitou have grown into adulthood, adopting the stage names Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou. The two collaborate to perform "Farewell My Concubine," rising to fame in the city of Beiping. Cheng Dieyi plays the role of Yu Ji, while Duan Xiaolou takes on the role of the King; their performances are hailed as extraordinary.

程蝶衣对京剧艺术有着近乎痴狂的追求。他完全沉浸在角色中，无法分清戏里戏外。在他心中，自己就是虞姬，段小楼就是霸王。这种情感超越了兄弟之情，变成了一种复杂的依恋。

Cheng Dieyi possesses an almost obsessive pursuit of the art of Peking opera. He immerses himself completely in his character, unable to distinguish between the stage and reality. In his heart, he is Yu Ji, and Duan Xiaolou is the King. This feeling transcends brotherhood, evolving into a complex attachment.

一位有权有势的太监张公公非常欣赏程蝶衣的演出。他送给程蝶衣一把珍贵的宝剑，这是一把真正的古董，据说是当年虞姬用过的那把剑。程蝶衣视若珍宝，认为这把剑代表了虞姬对霸王的忠贞。

A powerful and influential eunuch, Master Zhang, greatly admires Cheng Dieyi's performances. He gifts Cheng Dieyi a precious sword, a genuine antique said to be the very sword used by Yu Ji herself. Cheng Dieyi treasures it, believing that the sword symbolizes Yu Ji's loyalty to the King.

段小楼的性格与程蝶衣截然不同。他为人豪爽，喜欢喝酒，并不像程蝶衣那样把戏当作生命。有一天，他在妓院遇到了一个叫菊仙的妓女。菊仙美丽泼辣，为了赎身不惜与老鸨对抗。

Duan Xiaolou's personality is entirely different from Cheng Dieyi's. He is open-hearted and enjoys drinking, unlike Cheng Dieyi, who treats the art as his very life. One day, he encounters a courtesan named Juxian in a brothel. Juxian is beautiful and spirited, willing to confront the madam to redeem herself.

段小楼被菊仙的刚烈性格所吸引，决定帮她赎身并娶她为妻。这个消息让程蝶衣心如刀绞。在他看来，段小楼背叛了他们之间的誓言——"说好了一辈子，少一年，一个月，一天，一个时辰，都不算一辈子。"

Duan Xiaolou is captivated by Juxian's fierce character and decides to help her buy her freedom and marry her. This news pierces Cheng Dieyi's heart like a knife. To him, it feels as though Duan Xiaolou has betrayed their vow—"We promised a lifetime together; even a year, a month, a day, or an hour apart does not count as a lifetime."

日本人占领北平后，邀请两人为日本军官演出。段小楼拒绝了，还打伤了日本兵。他被日本人抓走，面临着生命危险。为了救段小楼，程蝶衣不得不为日本人唱了一出戏。

After the Japanese occupy Beiping, they invite the two to perform for Japanese officers. Duan Xiaolou refuses and even injures a Japanese soldier. He is captured by the Japanese and faces life-threatening danger. To save Duan Xiaolou, Cheng Dieyi is compelled to perform for the Japanese.

段小楼被释放后，对程蝶衣为日本人演出的行为十分不满。但程蝶衣认为，艺术不分国界，他唱的是中国戏，给谁唱都是一样的。这次事件在两人之间埋下了裂痕。

Upon his release, Duan Xiaolou is deeply dissatisfied with Cheng Dieyi's actions of performing for the Japanese. However, Cheng Dieyi believes that art knows no borders; he sings Chinese opera, and it is the same regardless of the audience. This incident sows the seeds of discord between them.

During the war, a theater enthusiast named Master Yuan enters Cheng Dieyi's life. Master Yuan is a wealthy merchant and a true connoisseur of the art.
