Xi Shi, one of the Four Beauties in ancient China, is known in a legend. Her beauty helps the State of Yue ruin the State of Wu after she's sent there as a tribute during the Spring and Autumn period (770-476 B.C.).

Having winning the Best Actress Award, the Contribution Award and the Heritage Award in the Yunnan Dianju Opera & Huadeng Opera Performance Week, the Dianju opera "The Dream of Xi Shi" challenges the cliche of the beauty as a military spy by highlighting her inherent purity and virtue as a common girl.

The title role is played by Feng Yongmei, dubbed as the No.1 Dianju Opera Diva. Her sweet appearance and euphonious voice brings the ancient beauty to life, and ever won her lots of top honors like Plum Blossom Award of Chinese traditional operas and Shanghai Magnolia Stage Performance Award.
