Remake of opera The White Haired Girl to hit cinemas

The Chinese have been familiar with the lyrics of the revolutionary opera, The White Haired Girl, for the past seven decades or so.

Now, the tale of the miseries of farmers in the late 1940s is a new cinematic remake and, more impressively, it comes in 3-D.

The film The White Haired Girl will be released in major mainland cities early this year and will later be screened in rural areas, according to its producers. A debut date has yet to be announced.
