Features: This book was first published in 1934 and sparked a strong Chinese influence on the theater stages of Britain and the United States. From late 1934 to 1937, it was performed for nine hundred consecutive times in the UK. The play is adapted from the traditional Chinese popular opera The Red Horse and the Fierce Horse, but in terms of the narrative technique and storyline, it represents a significant breakthrough in telling the story of Wang Baochuan. This is the first time the script of this play (later included in British textbooks) was published in China.
