Reader comments
This book reminds me of the time when I was a child and listened to Peking Opera with my grandfather. The four famous dancers described in the book are really amazing, and their grace on the stage must be very charming. I particularly like the introduction to their artistic styles, each one has its own uniqueness. This book not only made me understand the history of Peking Opera, but also made me full of respect for the efforts and dedication of those artists. I think this is a good book worth reading and recommend it to you!
