Features: This is an autobiography by Zhou Caiqin, the daughter of the renowned Peking Opera master Zhou Xinfang (stage name Lixintong). The book was published in the 1980s under the title "Daughter of Shanghai" in the UK and the US, receiving widespread praise from Western readers. This is the first Chinese Simplified edition published domestically after fifteen years. The author has revised the entire book and added a new chapter. Born on the road during a tour, wandering seemed to be her fate, so she began exploring overseas at the age of seventeen. Her father gave her a dream of theater, her mother instilled in her the will for independence, and she herself carried her natural passion and rebellious personality, drawing vitality from the collision of Eastern and Western cultures, creating a life full of vivid colors. Her story is truly legendary, and what makes it extraordinary is entirely the result of her unique and independent personality.
