Combat, courtship and thefts in three Peking opera tales.
A melon-garden fight leads to Tao Hong welcoming the fighter into his family as a son-in-law. A deliberately dropped jade bracelet becomes a pledge of love, with a matchmaker ready to help. Finally, Yang Xiangwu steals an imperial cup, loses it to another thief and uses a ruse to recover it.
Performed by the Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing as part of the Guocui Jixiang performance series. Announced performers include Bi Jiawang, Wang Hui, Suo Mingfang, Wang Chao. The cast performing on the day takes precedence. Performed in Chinese.
