The modern Peking Opera "Xu Yunfeng" is a work of the Beijing Peking Opera House that has deeply excavated, sorted out and re-created the classic play "Red Rock" created nearly 40 years ago. The drama is based on the famous novel "Red Rock", which tells the story of Xu Yunfeng, secretary of the Chongqing Underground Party Working Committee, who was betrayed by traitors when he was on the mission of organizing the rescue of the victims of the Geleshan concentration camp, and was arrested and imprisoned in the concentration camp. From July 20 to 21, Xu Yunfeng, a modern Peking opera of the Beijing Opera House, will be performed at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.
