html On August 16, "A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by Hu Mei was released, once again arousing people's interest in "A Dream of Red Mansions" of attention. As the pinnacle of Chinese classical literature and an immortal work, it is naturally a very popular topic in the film and television circles. Taking stock of the film and television dramas adapted from Dream of Red Mansions over the past 100 years, there is no doubt that the 1987 CCTV version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" is an insurmountable ceiling.(1) The film and television work adapted from Cao Xueqin's "A Dream of Red Mansions" was the earliest Peking Opera short film "The Burial of the Flower" starring the famous Peking opera artist Mei Lanfang in 1924.

This short film is a silent film, that is, a silent film without sound, so you can't hear Mei Lanfang's singing at all, you can only see his appearance and figure.
