In the performing arts, the China National Beijing Opera Company shelled out RMB400,000 to buy the copyright for Kingdom of Desire, a famous stage play created by Taiwan's Contemporary Legend Theater. Director Wu Hsing-kuo then spent two months in Beijing working on the play with mainland Chinese actors.
表演藝術方面，去年春天，中國京劇院以四十萬人民幣代價，買下「當代傳奇」經典名劇《慾望城國》版權，導演吳興國為此在北京待了兩個月，指導大陸演員排戲。
