An act of reform
The play, Beijing Fayuan Temple, will be staged at the National Center for the Performing Arts with a star-studded cast of actors and actresses, including Xi Meijuan, Zhou Jie and Jia Yiping in the lead roles. Directed by Tian Qinxin, the play is adapted from writer Li Ao's first novel. It tells a story set against the backdrop of the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and centers on reformist scholars, such as Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong, who played a significant role in the Hundred Days' Reform in 1898.
