Night Run

The novel "Night Run" is an epic of contemporary Chinese Peking Opera art. It is the spiritual history and life book of four generations of female Peking Opera artists in the tide of the times. It is also the indomitable spiritual inheritance of the traditional Chinese cultural bones in 80 years of generational changes.
The novel takes "Lin Chong's Night Escape", a very difficult one-man show in the martial arts repertoire, as its title. The story revolves around the existence of female martial artists, a little-known existence on the opera stage. It is set against the backdrop of the great historical and cultural changes from China to the world from the 1940s to the present. Through the different pursuits of artistic realms and life paths by four generations of female artists, the novel integrates individual destiny, family and national history, and the exploration of the pinnacle of art.
"Night Run," a 750,000-word epic, recounts the beauty and hardships of opera, both on and off stage, from a female perspective. With a powerful pen, imbued with the beauty of traditional Chinese language, Su Sheng depicts the self-awakening and diverse life choices of generations of women in the tide of the times. Behind this stage, which both empowered and marked their pain, flows the ever-changing river of time, and stands the enduring legacy of Chinese aesthetics and spirit.
The story of Jiang Fengyi and Jiang Chuyi, mother and daughter, is not just about art and history, but also about the plight and challenges faced by contemporary women. Just as heroes on stage never give up, every woman on the grand stage of society may never escape hardship, but she never ceases to challenge.
