Tong Zhiling's "Suolin Capsule"

Immediately after asking for the script yu Yu, Yu Fang was busy performing the new drama of the YingGuang Society, recalling that he had written "Crystal Curtain" for Yan Yueqiu (Green Dyeing Xiang) three years ago, but for some reason he did not perform it, and told him to save the script with Mr. Wang Yaoqing. Prevaricating, did not mind. Who knows that a few months later, in the opera advertisement of the Tianjin newspaper, it was actually published that "Tong Zhiling staged "Crystal Curtain" at the Beiyang Theater", but it was not seen in Tianjin. But Zhiling's intelligence is outstanding, and her hard-working and studious character has deeply imprinted my heart.
