Storyline

This film focuses on the artistic life and family legacy of Peking opera male-dan performer Shen Fuchong, tracing his journey from opera troupe apprentice to the professional stage, where he blended the techniques of the Mei and Zhang schools to forge his own style of great dan. For decades he led by example and passed on his craft through personal instruction, ensuring the spirit of opera continued across generations. With the camera as its pen and the era as its paper, the film shows how artists reveal character in the ordinary and embody spirit in their craft, leaving an extraordinary portrait for Chinese opera.
