Mei Lanfang: Great Artist, Cultural Ambassador
Mei Lanfang is still known today as one of the masters of Beijing Opera. He played a key role in bringing Beijing Opera to the world, leading to the international status and recognition that it has today. Mei Lanfang is still widely remembered for his skill, his kindness, and his deep love for his country.
Mei Lanfang was one of the most prominent Beijing Opera artists in the international world. He studied opera when he was eight, and began to perform on the stage when he was eleven. In his more than 50 years of performing, Mei created and developed many acting phases, such as singing, reading, dancing, music, costumes, and make-up, all of which helped him form his own style. In 1919, Mei led the opera troupe to Japan, which was the first time that China introduced the art of Beijing opera overseas. In 1930, Mei Lanfang led a troupe to the United States and gained great success and significant recognition. In 1934, he was invited to visit Europe, and was given much attention by the European opera world. Later, other places in the world considered Beijing Opera as the performing school of China.
