VIII. Eliminate the clutters
As one of Peking Opera’s most famous leading actors of
female roles, Mei Lanfang spent his stage life portraying
elegant ladies and lively girls in over one hundred fifty
plays. Mei was born in Beijing in the year 1894 and started
the first part of his acting career at the age of seven years
old. Performing in his own original and innovative style of
singing, dancing, and costume, he succeeded in developing
the “Mei School” of Peking Opera. He made tours around
the world with his troupe and was the very first artist to
introduce Peking Opera to an overseas audience. A tireless
performer, he appeared in a new play as a brave and
courageous female warrior a short period of time before
his death in 1961. Today the “Mei School” of art is still in
existence and continues to enrich the cultural life of Peking
Opera fans around the globe.
