Peach Blossom Fan

The Peach Blossom Fan is a great masterpiece of Kun opera and has been a favorite of Chinese audiences for more than 300 years. It takes the love story between the Revival Society poet Hou Fanyu and the beautiful river courtesan Li Xiangjun as its basis; but as a historical epic, it reflects the brief splendor and fall of the short-lived Southern Ming dynasty. This book, with plain words, intends to help foreign readers understand the story and appreciate classic Chinese opera.
