[This book is also called Winter Blind Garden. Dear readers, please add it to your collection.]
In 1934 Beijing, there was a tea theater in the city called Winter Blind Garden. That day, it was performing the new opera Reconciliation of the Generals. The performers sang onstage while the audience sat below, eyes closed, lost in a daze.
That very night after the performance, the owner of a courtyard house met a mysterious death. They say the irises growing in the back garden even included a red variety?
And in the basement, there was a sweeping ink painting of mountains and rivers. What secret did it conceal?
After the courtyard house owner died, the tea theater, which usually staged one opera a day, performed Mu Guiying Takes Command three days in a row.
Before the case could be solved, the theater's clown performer vanished one night for no apparent reason. A whole month of investigation turned up not a single clue. How could that be?
The tea theater abandoned its old style and began performing A Handful of Snow.
What is the truth behind this tea theater?
