Liu Xiaoqing visits Houston
Renowned Chinese actress Liu Xiaoqing and Tianjin People's Arts Theater brought the play
A Legend: Sai Jin Hua to Houston last Saturday at the Hobby Center. The much anticipated stage play attracted a full house. As the play unfolded on stage, the character of the heroine Sai Jin Hua felt more like that of the actress Liu herself than the historical figure, making this play uniquely tailored to Liu alone. Various local community organizations hosted Liu and the theater group during their stay.
