review
Mei Lan Fang was born to a family of Beijing Opera performers in 1894. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the social status of opera performers was equivalent to prostitutes of that time. Although his performance was appreciated by many, his feminine roles received disdain. Due to his outstanding performance, he incurred the wrath of veteran performer Shi Sanyan and a duel is launched between the two. Shi Sanyan was defeated and died, while Mei Lan Fang feared that he would end up the same way.
