Guangzhou
Modern theater guru
It is lucky to love what you do. Jin Shi-jye (pictured right), a pioneer of modern theaters in Taiwan, will share with his fans the joy of being the lucky man at his public lecture in Guangzhou on Sunday. The 62-year-old has been a playwright and theater performer for 35 years, carving classic characters in the audience's minds such as the lovesick Jiang Binliu in The Peach Blossom Land. He was regarded as the best person for that character in stage performances and film adaptations in Taiwan from the play's debut in 1986 until 2006.
