About This Novel

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Bengbeng Opera emerged in the eastern Hebei area. Through the improvement and inheritance of artists, it developed into China's second largest opera type - Ping Opera. The protagonist Yue Mingzhu (Ren Shanfeng) was influenced by his father Ren Lienhui. He was very fond of the art of jumping opera in his childhood, and he also showed his artistic talent in this area. When he was 9 years old, he was praised for his role in the Tangshan Singing Hall. He innovated in the cause of Ping Opera, was artistically exquisite, and made great contributions to the development of Ping Opera. At the beginning of the last century, he was known as the number one male actor in Pingju opera, and his stage name Yue Mingzhu became synonymous with his name in the future. Yue Mingzhu became famous in the three northeastern provinces after leaving the customs. Everyone in Northeastern cities knew about Yue Mingzhu. Many tea gardens were converted into bouncing opera gardens, and Yue Mingzhu was invited to sing operas. Unfortunately, God was jealous of talents. Yue Mingzhu was at the height of his power. On the evening of September 9, 1922, he collapsed on his beloved stage due to overwork. He was 24 years old. Yue Mingzhu has been an artist for 15 years, and it was he who improved the folk art of Bengbeng Opera into a major type of opera that can reach the stage of elegance and is no longer discriminated against - Ping Opera.
