Overview
As a child, Mei Lanfang counted copper coins while learning to sing, practiced his gaze by following pigeons, and trained rigorously in Peking Opera under his master. After achieving fame, he staged numerous new productions, making traditional Peking Opera more spectacular and captivating, and winning over more audiences. He also toured the United States with performances of The Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers and Farewell My Concubine, showcasing the beauty of Chinese Peking Opera to the world. During the War of Resistance, Mei Lanfang steadfastly upheld artistic integrity and national righteousness. Japanese officers repeatedly coerced him to perform for their troops, but he grew a beard and resolutely refused to entertain the invaders! This book vividly portrays Mei Lanfang's legendary artistic journey from boy to Peking Opera master through a meticulously realistic artistic style.
