Features: The performance is connected with Lian Liru. Lian Liru was born on March 18, 1942, and is a Manchu from Beijing. She is a storytelling artist with the China Coal Mine Worker's Art Troupe. A renowned storytelling artist, a first-class state artist, vice chairman of the Quyi Association of the China Coal Mine Federation, and enjoys special government subsidies. In 1960, she learned the art of storytelling from her famous father, the master storyteller Lian Keru, and is the sole inheritor of the Lian-style storytelling. Since 1994, she has been invited multiple times to Singapore to record storytelling for "Liyi Huocheng" radio station and the International Broadcasting Radio. In June 1998, she was invited to give storytelling performances of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in five major cities in Malaysia, causing a sensation. Her influential representative works include "Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty," "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "The Great Sui Dynasty," and "Kangxi's Private Visit" and others. One of the four great classical novels of Chinese literature. A story inscribed on a single stone, the destined golden and jade union, the emotional attachment that cannot be twisted in the universe, flows in the timeless classic a tragic and graceful love story. Lian Liru's storytelling version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" uses a brand-new narrative and performance style, with the love and marriage tragedy among Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai as the main thread, and through the decline of a feudal aristocratic family, it reveals the philosophical concept of "when water overflows, the moon is full, climbing high leads to a fall, joy breeds sorrow, and extremes meet." The ups and downs of honor and disgrace have always been cyclical, something that cannot be maintained by human effort. The entire work vividly recreates the life tapestry filled with contradictions in a feudal noble family.
