A shy Chinese maiden and a
hero-warrior danced ritualistic steps
Wednesday afternoon in the South Crib
of the Nebraska Union.
Lan-fen Chao, 24, the maiden, and her
companion Kuang-chi Tu, 23, are two
members of the Nationalist Chinese
Opera Theater troupe that is currently
touring the United States. Their
80-member group will perform in Omaha
Oct. 12.
Both are graduates of Chinese opera
schools in Taiwan which begin to train
students at eight years of age, according
to the director, Edward CM. Yang.
Yang is a professor of Linguistics at
Soochow University in Taipei, Taiwan.
He was asked to direct the troupe because
of his language ability, he said.
Silk, embroidery and golden thread
are the primary materials for the dancers'
costumes, Yang explained. The dancers'

traditional character. Miss Chao, attired
in red silken pants, was dressed for the
role of a maiden-warrior in the ribbon
dance in "Heavenly Angels Scattering
Flowers."
Tu and Chao have been acting in
Taiwan theater since their graduation five
years ago.
The green suit with yellow flowers
worn by Tu was the costume of the
hero-warrior in the story of the
"Cowherd and the Village Girl," Yang
said.
The red streak on the forehead of the
male dancer is the symbol for his great
heroic status, he said.
The dancers in the troupe will be in
the United States for three months.
Although American food is strange to
those who have never visited the United
States, Yang said, they like it much better
than the "pseudo-Chinese food they find
in all the American Chinese towns."
