Liu Sanjie
Liu Sanjie (German: Third Sister Liu ; Chinese: 刘三姐; Pinyin : Liú Sānjiě) was a legendary singer of the Chinese Song dynasty .
history
As a simple girl, Liu Sanjie (In the film: 刘 iant; Liu Tiantian) had the reputation of a gifted singer. But over time she began to sing about grievances and thus openly rebelled against the landlord Mo Huairen (老莫; old Mo). This let them take part in a competition against the best singers, which Liu Sanjie won. Then the landowner ordered her to be killed, whereupon she fled with her lover. Wherever they passed, they sang the songs of their homeland and spread them all over the country. In the end, the lovers turned into larches and can stay together forever.
Light show
Liu Sanjie's story was staged in 2004 by director Zhang Yimou with more than 600 participants in the southern Chinese city of Yizhou and is a local tourist attraction. The 10,000 seat natural stage is considered the largest in the world.
In the 70-minute light show on a natural stage on the Li River , the performers wear traditional clothing of the Zhuang , Miao and Yao minorities, which are provided with numerous light-emitting diodes. The impression is enhanced by the fact that twelve surrounding Kegelkarst mountains are illuminated during the show and are reflected in the river.
filming
The 2010 film by the Chinese-born American Zhu Feng (朱 枫) with the English title A Singing Fairy (《寻找 刘三姐》; Pinyin: Xúnzhǎo Liú Sānjiě; literally: In search of Liu Sanjie ) is based on the story of Liu Sanjie. .
