Program Synopsis

The artistic charm of Beijing Opera is fascinating with distinguished performance and acting skills, while the hardship actors have suffered is rarely known to others.

This is a story about three opera warriors with talent and fantastic acting skills in traditional Chinese opera—Beijing Opera, their life and death, their love and hatred, and their struggling and striving for the outstanding beauty on the stage.

The story, happening in the northern part of Republic of China, in the early of the 20th century, is about three young fellow apprentices of the same master, who play martial roles among the operatic players of male characters in a theatrical troupe. After having undergone professional training, they play different martial roles in Beijing Opera in the same theatrical troupe. And then their fate and destiny get to diverge: one getting shot by accident in order to protect his junior fellow, and one suffering disaster from love affair, which leads to the separation of three brothers. The youngest one, after having suffered much hardship and seemingly having come to the dead end, finds the right way out of difficulties and to the success with great determination and persistence.

The story goes to tell that life is just like a drama, full of ups and downs, and the world is so changeable that a loss may turn out to be a gain. With love and friendships, determination and persistence, success is in the near future.
