Jingju, a revered form of classical Chinese theatre, originated in the late 18th century and eventually gained recognition as the "national opera" in the 20th century. Wei Hai Min, a distinguished recipient of numerous awards, hails from Taiwan and has achieved great prominence in the field of jingju. As an Asian Cultural Council fellow, she will embark on a captivating multi-city tour across North America, showcasing her immense talent and expertise.

During her lecture at UCI, Wei will delve into the intricacies of jingju, shedding light on her journey of navigating traditional training and pushing the boundaries of artistic experimentation. Attendees will have the privilege of witnessing demonstrations of various captivating performances, including excerpts from renowned masterpieces such as The Drunken Concubine, Lady Macbeth from The Kingdom of Desire, and an awe-inspiring aria from Medea.

Wei Hai Min's profound influence on the world of jingju is truly remarkable. Her training under Mei Baojiu, the heir of Mei Lanfang, and her collaborations with esteemed directors such as Richard Schechner and Robert Wilson have solidified her status as one of the most distinguished Mei School actors in the Sinophone world today.

I spent an afternoon here with my sister and our six children picking strawberries and it was really fun. Staff will take you around the farm and introduce you to a variety of foods, such as green beans, carrots, sweet corn and cucumbers, and finally we can bring home the strawberries we picked. Tips: eat as many strawberries as possible! Really fresh and delicious. The children also like the sunflowers and chickens here. They also picked a lot of melons and pumpkins, which was fun. We will come back next time we have a chance.
