On September 8, 1947, the legendary Meng Xiaodong performed "Searching for the Abandoned and Rescuing the Abandoned" at the China Grand Theatre. This was the final performance of the "Winter Emperor," attracting thousands of theatergoers in Shanghai; fans went so far as to pay high prices for plane tickets just to attend the show. Ticket prices soared to ten times their original value, yet securing a ticket remained a challenge. Those who couldn't get tickets rushed to buy radio sets to listen to the live broadcast. Meng Xiaodong's two performances of "Searching for the Abandoned and Rescuing the Abandoned" were hailed as "the final beautiful sound of Guangling," creating a miracle in the history of Chinese Peking Opera and even in Chinese theater history. Seventy-one years later, contemporary Peking Opera master Wang Peiyu, known as the "Little Winter Emperor," performed the same play in the same place, with everything from the performance, singing and recitation, to the band and stage presentation being identical. The audience was thoroughly captivated, making it a dream journey for Yu School fans. The documentary film "Peking Opera 'Searching for the Abandoned and Rescuing the Abandoned'" not only focuses on the inheritance and performance of this classic Peking Opera in the new era but also captures rehearsal and interview scenes featuring contemporary Peking Opera cultural figure Wang Peiyu. It hands the microphone to Peking Opera artists and traditional cultural masters, allowing them to share insights on traditional plays, the culture of Peking Opera, and the artistic attitude of treating performance as a life practice. Through exploration, restoration, inheritance, and innovation of traditional opera, it enables contemporary audiences and future generations to appreciate this rich and diverse art form that transcends time and space.
