Mei Lanfang was born in Beijing in 1894, though his ancestral home was Taizhou. Born into a family of famous actors, he learned from his family members and also from many teachers and went on to become a pioneer of the newly emerging dan (a female role) actor genre in the early 20th century. His performance style was rigorous and refined yet elegant and beautiful, appearing reserved but actually full of complexity: his singing was exquisite, pure and full; his spoken lines were delivered in a sweet but rich voice, strong but not rough. The Mei Lanfang art school he founded subverted the previous Peking Opera style of having the laosheng (an aged male role) as the main focus and created a new era by dividing the main focus equally between the laosheng role and the dan role, which was imitated by others in the opera world.
