A new Huju Opera production that tells the stories of former Shanghai mayor Chen Yi will premiere at the Shanghai Grand Theater on Aug 24.
Chen (1901-72) was a military leader in the Communist army who led the battle against the Kuomintang regime in Shanghai in 1949. He became the first mayor of the city after it was liberated, and later served as the vice premier of the State Council and the foreign minister of China.
