syncopath says:
last pic is from the biopic, just released, of director Chen Kaige ("Farewell My Concubine").

"Mei Lanfang is well-known for his contribution to Peking Opera," Chen Kaige said, "But I'm more interested in his inner charm, the grit he displayed during wartime and his life-long pursuit of beauty."

Legend has it that Bertolt Brecht's world was turned upside down by a
Chinese opera star. The European playwright, who felt that physicality
had more integrity than speech, met a revelation of the body's true
mutability in the person Mei Lan-Fang. To Brecht's amazement, Mei could
use pure movement to transform himself into a woman -- all while still
in male civilian attire. Standards of realism in theater would be
forever changed.

Lan-Fang's rise to stardom brought with it an increased tolerance
toward actors, previously regarded as the dregs of Confucian society.
Mei also paved the way for actresses, becoming one of the first masters
to accept female pupils. His legacy continues to inform opera both in
his homeland and abroad. </FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left;
