Mei Lanfang a great artist in Chinese has made significant contribution to the developing of Chinese Peking Opera. In his life Mr. Mei had entertained over six thousand distinguished foreign guests at his residence in Beijing, such as the Swedish crown prince. At that time "touring Imperial Palace, visiting Mei's Residence and watching Mei's Opera Performance" were the three big events for foreign visitors to Beijing. Mei Lanfang had also been many times to countries like Japan, America, and former Soviet Union to spread the art of Peking Opera and Chinese culture. He had communicated with many world-famous writers and artists, such as Tagore, Gorkey, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Tolstoy, Stanislavski, Bernard Shaw, Brecht, Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks. Therefore Mr. Mei more than deserved the title of China's "Cultural Ambassador".
