Love in Long-life Hall (English-Chinese Edition): A Classic Chinese Opera of Tang Emperor & Lady Yang

Love in Long-life Hall (English-Chinese Edition): A Classic Chinese Opera of Tang Emperor & Lady Yang

The Complete 50-Scene Play in English Rhyme by Xu Yuanchong — A Love Story of Pledge, Rebellion, Loss and Reunion, with the Chinese Text Included
This is a complete English translation of a famous Chinese opera about Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and his beloved Lady Yang. The story begins with their vow in the Long-life Hall, then follows the rebellion that tears them apart, Lady Yang’s death on the road, and the emperor’s search for her spirit—until the two are finally reunited in the moon palace. Xu Yuanchong, one of China’s most celebrated literary translators, renders the whole play into English rhyme, and the Chinese text is included as well. If you want to read a classic Chinese love story in English verse, with the original Chinese alongside it—rather than a prose retelling or an academic study of the play—this is it.
