Plot Summary

The biographical film of the Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang, but many of its descriptions do not match historical facts. Uncle, who had been singing opera for most of his life, was given a paper shackle during the funeral of the Western Empress Dowager due to not wearing red clothes. The young Mei Lanfang carried a letter he left behind from his death with him and began to learn opera and conduct himself under the famous Peking Opera veteran Thirteen Yan (Wang Xueqi), who had a close relationship with the Mei family. Ten years later, Mei Lanfang (Yu Shaoqun) rose to fame in the pear orchard, hoping to sing opera and be a good person for the rest of her life. Qiu Rubai (Sun Honglei), the director of the overseas judicial bureau who has a deep understanding of theatrical art, is full of complaints about traditional Peking Opera. However, after watching Mei Lanfang's performance, he couldn't help but feel excited and wrote him letters of encouragement and advice. Mei Lanfang also wants to innovate her performance and is very grateful to Qiu Rubai. Through the exchange of letters and face-to-face conversations between the two, Mei Lanfang's understanding of Peking Opera gradually deepened and renovated, and she gained the pure friendship that "Third Brother" Qiu Rubai had maintained for a lifetime. But Mei Lanfang also had a disagreement with the Thirteen Swallows as a result. Encouraged by kind-hearted individuals, the two decided to fight on the arena, and Mei Lanfang achieved a great victory, ushering in her own era. Mei Lanfang's success was not only due to his extraordinary intelligence and Qiu Rubai's constant encouragement of him in art, but also to the generous financial assistance of the great banker "Sixth Master" Feng Ziguang (Yingda). Afterwards, Mei Lanfang (Dawn) married Fu Zhifang (Chen Hong) and began to try to live the life of a seductive woman on stage and an ordinary man off stage, but it was destined to be as difficult as wearing a "paper shackle": after meeting the popular student Meng Xiaodong (Zhang Ziyi), he formed a spiritual couple with her, but regretted and brushed off her; During the Anti Japanese War, in order to show his integrity, he grew a beard and endured the pain of parting from his beloved stage. During this period, helping him shine on the international stage by performing in the United States was also a good thing that took many hardships.
