Of her many trips across the Taiwan Strait, Vivien Ku remembers most vividly her visit to the Chinese mainland in the early 1990s.
She was then a member of the Taipei-based Koo Foundation's team for the promotion of Peking Opera. She recalls arriving in Shanghai after several air and rail transfers, to borrow the Fifteen Strings of Copper Coins (Shiwu Guan) from the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe.
