Zhu Nu has lost count of the number of times she has played in the Yueju (Cantonese opera) tragedy Bamboo Love (Cuizhu Qing). But she still can't hold back her tears in the final scene.
There is both pain and happiness in those tears, says Zhu. Pain over the character's sufferings and happiness over being able to share this with her audience, she elaborates.
