An exhibition commemorating the 120th anniversary of the birth of Peking opera master Ma Lianliang opened on Dec. 22 at the Capital Museum of China in Beijing. Born in 1901, Ma was active from the 1920s to '60s, becoming one of the most famous masters of Peking opera. Best known for playing "laosheng," or dignified older-male roles, he led a life every bit as legendary as the figures he portrayed on stage. His classic plays, along with the innovations he brought to the art form, are widely considered to be precious contributions to Chinese cultural heritage. The exhibition will run until May 23, 2021.
