Chapter 6 - chapter 6 - Peking opera theatre

October 10, 1968

Ah Hua took Yan Zu to Beijing by train.

In the train compartment.

"Master, why do you want me to stay in a private room? I can just buy a regular ticket." Yan Zu asked.

"Azu, it takes two days to travel from Foshan to Beijing. You can rest. You can open the window and enjoy the scenery." Ah Hua replied.

"Thank you, Master. Azu has never traveled to such a far distant place." Yanzu said happily.

"Silly boy, here you are. In the future, you will be so famous that you will have to fly to other countries." Ah Hua hugged Yan Zu and replied.

At the Beijing Theater Academy.

28-year-old Lin Yuanhai is coaching students to sing Peking Opera.

He listened attentively and threw the script on the ground in a rage.

-Sing it to me one more time! What kind of Peking Opera are you singing! - Yuan Hai said angrily and loudly.

Yuan Hai went to the toilet, and the monthly pain came again.

In the toilet.

-damn it! Why me! - Yuan Hai said angrily.

At this time, a student knocked on the toilet door...

-teacher! Your friend comes from Foshan to see you! -said one student.

os: Foshan! ? Could it be Taipan Chen?

-good! coming! - Yuan Hai replied loudly.

​In the college-lounge.

"Wow! Master this college is so big!" Yan Zu said loudly.

"Do you like here? I will let you to study Peking Opera here for three years, okay?" Ahua asked.

At this time, Yanzu's temperament changed.

He pushed Ahua away...

"Even...even you want to abandon me! What's wrong with me!? Why don't you all want me!?" Yan Zu asked excitedly.

Yuanhai came over...

-It's been a long time since I saw you, Mr. Chen! How did you...? - Yuan Hai said happily, then turned his eyes to Yan Zu.

Yanzu also looked at the distance.

"Why don't you worry?! Beat your own master up!?" Yuan Hai asked angrily.

Yuanhai saw Yanzu about to rush out and immediately pulled him back. He looked at Yan Zu and felt that he had a shadow of his own childhood.

" I am still here! I am not going to abandon you!?" Ah Hua asked angrily.

Yan Zu fell to the ground.

"Why do you want me to stay in Beijing!? Everyone says I look like a woman and am I not worthy!?" Yan Zu asked crying.

"I really wants you to learn Peking Opera. I has no other intentions." Ah Hua replied.

"Chen Daban, do you think I will accept him if you prepare him to study here? My dear, it is not easy to get into this college. And I am only one of the teachers. This college is not convenient, your uncle brought you here first because he saw your potential." Yuan Hai said.

Yan Zu calmed down.

Yuanhai gave Yanzu a Cantonese opera and a Peking opera script.

"You go backstage to practice these two scripts. In two hours you will perform on the stage. Practice carefully. Many students will watch it later." Yuan Hai said.

Yan Zu walked backstage.

"Master Chen, come into my office and talk." Yuan Hai said.

Yuanhai Office.

"Yuanhai, it's been five years since you left Foshan. I still remember when we both sang the Peking Opera "Farewell My Concubine" together. It is unforgettable in my life." Ahua said.

"Brother, today you not only miss me, but you also have other reasons to find me. It should be about your little nephew." Yuanhai replied.

At this time, Ahua saw Yuanhai touching his chest.

"Is it uncomfortable to tie it up or not?" Ah Hua asked.

"Oh, it's been more than ten years, do you still remember?" Yuan Hai replied with a smile.

"Of course I remember it, but I was the only one who noticed that your costume was a little red. Later I found out that you are an intersex. I really worked hard for you." Ahua took a picture of Yuan Hai and said.

"You want to tell me to tell him about his intersex problems? Does he knows it?" Yuan Hai asked.

"He has no idea. His parents and I both want to protect him." Ah Hua replied.

"What you are doing will only kill him and turn him into another me, neither a man nor a woman." Yuan Hai said.

"But if he knew it too early, he would definitely not be able to take it." Ah Hua replied.

"Can't stand it!? Why can't he stand it when he become like me? Only 5% of people in the world have such a body. I am a very unfortunate person. In terms of medicine, no one can find any cure There is no way to treat this kind of people like me. I have no choice." Yuan Hai asked.

Yuan Hai took a puff of cigarette.
