A Leopard Leaps Onto the Stage/戏台上蹿出金钱豹 [Chinese]

By 周锐

Renowned children's literature author Zhou Rui both writes and illustrates this work, using his signature humor to convey the essence of Peking Opera culture. 儿童文学名家周锐自写自画，以幽默笔触传递京剧文化精髓。 Can you believe a leopard can leap onto a Peking Opera stage? Man Shaofeng is known as the "consummate master of the painted-face roles" (jing). In Peking Opera, some jing actors excel only in singing, some only in acting, some only in acrobatics-but Man Shaofeng masters all. Invited to perform at the premier theater in Hong Kong, he spots a young leopard cub about to be taken away by the police. Man Shaofeng desperately wants to rescue it, but the law prohibits trading animals. After much effort, he finally saves the cub and names it "Daodao" (Stripe). In later performances, Daodao becomes a star in the Peking Opera play The Leopard, winning thunderous applause the moment he steps on stage. 你相信京剧舞台上能蹿出金钱豹吗？ 满少峰被称为"十全大净"。"净"就是花脸，有的花脸只会唱，有的花脸只会做，有的花脸只会打，而满少峰是全能的。他被香港优选的戏院请去，首演前，满少峰在路边看到了要被警察带走的一只金钱豹幼崽。满少峰非常想将它救下，奈何法律不允许买卖动物。几经辗转，满少峰终于救下小豹，并取名"道道"。在后来的演出中，道道成了京剧《金钱豹》中的"名角"，一上台就能赢得满堂彩。
