According to the rules passed down by the older generation of opera actors, anyone who uses the costumes of a deceased famous actress must offer incense and salute before unpacking the costumes.
On the 14th day of the seventh lunar month, 19-year-old costume designer Xiao Wan brought out an old suitcase from half a century ago - its owner was Ruo Meiying, a famous Beijing opera actor in the 1930s and 1940s who became popular in Beijing and Shanghai, but her whereabouts after liberation were unknown.
After opening the box, Xiaowan was immediately fascinated by the costumes. While looking at them, she unknowingly put on the entire outfit.
Since then, some things have happened that are far beyond Xiaowan's ability to bear...
Reader comments
The story is complete, and the characters are well-drawn and carefully drawn; I was a little scared at one point in the middle, and the ending was a bit unsatisfying~
I just hope that all love and all those who love will be treated with tenderness.
The plot of this book is so fascinating! Xiaowan was fascinated by the costume, and a series of things happened that were beyond her ability, which made me want to know what will happen next. Moreover, the description of wandering singers in the book is very real. Although they live a hard life, they still insist on singing seriously. This kind of love for music is very touching. I also regret not studying hard, but it's not too late to start working hard now. I hope we can all find our own direction and face the challenges in life bravely like Xiaowan.
Abandoning time, yin and yang, the unparalleled elegance on the stage, the pain and frustrations during the Cultural Revolution... Shui Xiaowan and Ruo Meiying have many similarities. But beyond all the misunderstandings, it turns out that everything is hurt because of deep love. This book is really good. Through searching and questioning again and again, the actor's deep feelings are clarified... Thumbs up!
The author has a profound writing skills, and the rhythm is slow but ups and downs, like talking while holding a cup of coffee, which makes people feel that the author is more suitable for writing prose. This novel is very similar to Rouge Button, and there are overlapping images from time to time.
The sleeves rise and fall in the play, the tone of the play is graceful and touching, and the love outside the play is much deeper. Life is in the play, and the play is like life.
Very interesting😊I like this kind of light and strange writing, and the author's writing is very charming
Shui Xiaowan is a staff member in the drama. Her first love was the street singer Atao. Unfortunately, Atao died in a car accident three years ago. Xiaowan thought that he had broken the promise and could not forget him. On the day of the Ghost Festival, Xiaowan accidentally opened the costume box of comedian Ruo Meiying, and she was psychic and could see Meiying's soul. She put on the costume and danced by accident. Zhang Zhi, who was also a reporter, took a beautiful photo. Sparks fly between them. Zhang Zhiye's first love was Wei Weien, a woman who played life. She was inseparable from Zhang Zhiye. When she found out that Zhang Zhiye had Xiaowan, she became jealous and threatened Xiaowan to leave Zhang Zhiye. In the end, it was discovered that Xiaowan had let go, and the one who cared about Zhang Zhiye the most was herself. She had been deceiving herself and others. Meiying has a maid called Qing'er, Xiaowan's grandmother, a junior sister, and a daughter Zhao Zihe, who is a self-combed girl and will never marry. Mei Ying has been refusing to reincarnate because she wanted to find Zhang Chaotian to find an answer. Why didn't she come on July 13? "Why did you let her down?" Zhang Chaotian did not say it until his death. He said that he had forgotten it. In fact, he did not want Mei Ying to lose her wish and lose her soul. In the end, Zhang Laizi, who admired Mei Ying, once defiled Mei Ying and was frightened to death by Mei Ying. After his death, he left a letter, which Shui Xiaowan personally wrote: "I reported on him and he was arrested." Mei Ying took advantage of the weakness of human nature and scared to death the sinner who had defiled her and her daughter. The great revenge was avenged. Nanny Zhao lost her mother Mei Ying, Xiao Wan lost her lover A Tao, Mei Ying lost her lover Chaotian, Zhang Laizi lost his life, and Zhang Zhi also lost his true heart and became a "gentleman". The play begins with sadness and ends with sadness. If you love someone, you shouldn't hate him. Sometimes if he rejects you, his heart will hurt more than yours.
Ask the world, what is love, and teach you the promise of life and death, the endless reluctance brought about by fate and the heart-piercing pain, the parting of love, the inability to let go, the reluctance, the unavailability, the lifelong regret. It is such a sad and poignant love story, which makes people feel sad and unbearable. One word of love makes the world full of crazy men and resentful women, and one obsession turns the souls who have not fulfilled their wishes into lonely ghosts wandering the world. Let it go, let it go, the compassionate Buddha calls out to all living beings who are lost, wandering in the six realms of reincarnation, and struggling. Only by letting go can we be free. Amitabha. Amitabha, Amitabha.
The author's writing is very much like Li Bihua's, with rich pathos and sorrow that cannot be overcome in the past and present life, dense and stirring.
Although I don't know much about dramas and clothes, the article is good-looking and the author still has a good foundation. It is much better than these pale and feeble buzzwords nowadays. It can be seen that the author still understands history very well and respects history. However, the story is too short and not enough to read.
Watched it for the second time and couldn't stop
Mei Ying and Zhang Chaotian separated due to misunderstanding, but they couldn't love each other. The relationship between the heroine and Atao is unresolved, which is heartbreaking. The ghost you are afraid of may be the lover or relative that others miss.
I cried. Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death. The greatest love is letting go rather than possessing, and the most hateful are those evil deeds that hurt others in the name of love.
Except for some incomprehensible content of the opera, the twists and plot are good.
The writing is very good... Excellent... And the characters are good.
On a hot summer day, I get goosebumps from the cold weather. Rouge Button, sort of. Well written.
The plot is bizarre and touching, and I also learned a lot about drama.
It's wonderful, I feel like I still have more to say
How can it be such a good word?
Both real and illusory, like a dream but not a dream
It's gripping, I can't stop watching it
It would be great if it could be made into a movie
Follow the author's train of thought, get stuck in it, and be unable to extricate yourself. It's much better than the brainless articles nowadays.
The first time I read it, I still didn't fall in love. Now I'm a mother of two, and I've recently been reviewing the best of Xiling Snow's books.
I finished reading it. It was very interesting. I wanted to say something, but I felt that it was contradictory no matter what I said. Love in the world is a matter of benevolence and wisdom!
Check in, January 31, 2024.
Although it is a short story, the writing is beautiful, the plot is fascinating, soul-stirring, and easy to empathize with. It is truly a masterpiece!
Because I really like dark dramas in novels, I searched for similar articles and found this one. The writing is also good, sad and touching.
All I can say is, it looks good, it looks good, it looks good
I didn't understand it at first and was about to give up, but it became more and more exciting as I watched it. It's worth watching.
Similar to the plot of Rouge Button, a sad and beautiful love story
