Their triumphs and trials reflect the profound changes China has experienced over the past decades. In this episode, we spotlight Tan Xiaozeng, the sixth-generation descendant of a renowned Peking Opera family. Tan Xiaozeng continues the legacy of the Tan School, founded by his great-great-grandfather, Tan Xinpei. Known for its gentle vocal techniques, the Tan School is one of the earliest Peking Opera styles, widely considered a model for laosheng, or senior male roles. Its techniques have also influenced iconic female role traditions, such as the Mei Lanfang School and Cheng Yanqiu School.
