The tide of time is irresistible, and even the great artists cannot avoid it. Mr. Mei Lanfang in the photo, although he has entered his old age, his enthusiasm for art is still the same. He wore a gorgeous costume, and his gestures showed his respect for the stage career. However, the wrinkles and loose muscles left by the years on his face silently tell of his persistent pursuit and selfless dedication to art.

In those days, artists lived a difficult life, and the shortage of materials seriously affected their lives.
