Tang Zhongji
The original work of "Turandot" originated from a short story called "The Three Mysteries of Turandot" (i. E., "The Story of Calaf and the Chinese Princess") in the collection of Arabic folk tales "One Thousand and One Nights". The opera of the same name composed by the famous Italian composer Giacomo Puccini in 1924 has become the most famous adapted version. Classic songs such as "Nessun Dorma" and "Jasmine" have become popular all over the world. This book is a new interpretation of the opera "Turandot". It is set in the ancient capital of Jiangnan. Princess Turandot orders a man to guess a riddle to recruit a bride. If a man guesses correctly, she will marry him; if he guesses wrong, he will be executed. One after another, the losers are secretly executed, and one "mystery" is connected with another. Is Turandot a domineering, ruthless devil, or a noble, intelligent, beautiful and kind angel?
