Synopsis

This is the crosstalk troupe founded by Qin Boren. It was named Qingyun Society after a line by its patriarch, Dongfang Shuo: “Raise it high above the clouds.” The troupe has eight generations of disciples, known by the phrase “Clouds rise, dragons soar; cranes sing in the deep marsh.”

The first generation is the Yun class, consisting of just eight people. First is Mu Yunsheng, a refined young gentleman whose shattered bones were remade; second is Ding Yunming, who built up his strength over time and achieved success later in life; third is Lu Yun Que, a cherished pearl and a beauty who turns heads on the road; fourth is Fang Yunqi, who studied the art from a young age and spent many years by his master’s side; fifth is Chu Yunshi, loyal and righteous, upright and selfless; sixth is Kong Yunpo, who found fame young and never fought for power or glory; seventh is Liu Yuntian, a man of lofty honor whose good deeds never come easily; and eighth is Bai Yunjing, untouched by worldly dust and always surrounded by distinguished guests.

The wooden clapper strikes. Listen closely, everyone, for the story is about to begin…
