The Media Image of Mei Lanfang and Its Enlightenment on Peking Opera’s Overseas Communication
Yu Jiangang, Hao Shuang
Abstract:When Mei Lanfang was performing in the western countries, the local media, which was then rather developed, made detailed reports on Mei Lanfang’s artistic and social image, and personified MeiLanfang's image deliberately in a three-dimensional and comprehensive way. Although there were many shortcomings in the construction and dissemination of Mei Lanfang's image at that time due to cultural differences and regional distance, it diversified the communication methods in this field and may provide reference for the current overseas communication of Peking Opera.
Key words:Mei Lanfang; Media image; Peking Opera; Overseas communication
