Revenge and remember
South Song dynasty of China was at the verge of collapse, however, prime minister and his wife were not doing their job properly but taking advantage of the situation while dynasty was about to fail.
In the end, those grassroots that lost the country wanted to deep fry these ugly husband and wife , such that they shaped flour like a stick and fried.... even today they continue frying these couple, so they revenge the couple and remember the history.
