在这部融合了现代与传统的越剧作品中，《姐妹行》以其独特的艺术魅力和深刻的人物塑造，讲述了一段关于 sisters' journey towards self-discovery and growth. The story is set in a modern textile factory, where the protagonist Yang Shuilan, a young woman from a working-class family, becomes increasingly influenced by bourgeois ideas of marriage and social status.

As she becomes more engrossed in these superficial concerns, her performance on the job begins to suffer. Her coworker Chen Yumei notices Yang's declining dedication and decides to take action. Through the Party organization, Chen reaches out to Yang and helps her see the error of her ways.

Under Chen's guidance and with the support of their fellow workers, Yang slowly begins to awaken to her own class consciousness. She comes to realize that true happiness lies not in material possessions or social standing but in contributing meaningfully to society through hard work.

This heartwarming tale of redemption was first performed by the Nanjing City Opera Troupe during the 1950s as part of China's rich cultural heritage.
