Peking Opera, the quintessence of our country, is rarely seen by modern people. But during the Republic of China, some Peking Opera masters were loved by many people. At that time, people had few entertainment projects, and going to the opera was the best choice at that time. When it comes to Peking Opera, people will know four famous artists in China: Mei Lanfang, Cheng, Xun Huisheng and Shang Xiaoyun. They have their own characteristics, and everyone has a deep foundation. From singing to expression, it is unparalleled. Among many Beijing opera masters, only Mei Lanfang represents Beijing opera culture. So, Anita Mui once claimed? Mei Bancheng? What exactly does this title mean?

Mei Lanfang, born in Beijing, began to study drama at the age of eight and began to perform at the age of ten. He went to Shanghai to perform for the first time. At that time, he was only a teenager. Before he went to Shanghai, he appeared in the local newspaper in Shanghai, which attracted many people's attention. His performance was an unprecedented success and became an instant hit. Later, it became popular in Shanghai and the whole country. It is said that his appearance fee at that time was actually ten gold bars, and a suit cost 3.4 million. How much are ten gold bars now? At that time, Lu Xun was a teacher at Peking University, and his salary was only 200 yuan a month. However, Mei Lanfang's performance fee is indeed several times that of him. At that time, ten gold bars could buy a house in Beijing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his monthly salary was 2 100 yuan. Mei Lanfang was the richest man at that time.

Some people wonder, with all his wealth, where did he end up? During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Mei Lanfang spent all her savings and donated a fighter plane to the country. A plane at that time is now worth billions. This shows that he has money and a patriotic heart. So, Anita Mui claims? Mei Bancheng? .

Master Mei Lanfang deserves to be a master of Peking Opera. Today, Mei School art is still a recognized classic. He has superb Beijing opera art, patriotic feelings and personality charm.
