Stark Young watched Mei Lanfang's performance in New York.
Mei Shaowu : Stark Young was so impressed by Mei Lanfang's acting that he called on Mei in person in New York and told him that in seeing the performance style of Chinese opera, it 'suddenly dawned on him that he had found the key to the solution of some problems in his theatrical studies'. (Mei, Shaowu. Mei Lanfang as seen by his foreign audiences and critics. In : Peking opera and Mei Lanfang. Wu Zuguang, Huang Zuolin, and Mei Shaowu. (Beijing : New World Press, 1981).
Chen Xiaomei : Young's view of the Beijing opera provides a striking example. Young suggested, that Mei Lanfang's art is essentially realist. He was astonished at "the precision of ist realistic notations and renderings". I twas for him a kind of ralism that amounts to "an essential quality in some emotion, the presentation of that truth which confirms and enlarges our sense of reality".
