From May 1 to May 5, the exhibition performance "The Dreams of Lady Xin Zhui" will be held at the Hunan Museum. Based on artifacts unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tombs in Changsha, this performance combines the restoration and display of historical relics with traditional Chinese Peking opera, telling the story of Lady Xin Zhui, the wife of the chancellor of the Changsha Kingdom during the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-25 AD), who carried on her husband's will, and educated her son to protect the family and serve the country.
