Twenty-Four Chapters on Mei Lanfang is the result of author Xu Chengbei's fifteen years of accumulated personal reflections on Mei Lanfang. The book selects fragments from Mei's life - such as his visit to the United States in the 1930s, where his performances captivated countless Hollywood actors and exerted a positive influence on the development of American film art; and his visit to the former Soviet Union, which directly contributed to the formation of Bertolt Brecht's system of performance theory. The subtleties of the Mei School lie in two qualities: conveying nobility whether in wealth or in poverty, and embodying stillness within movement - not only in vocal style but also in physical presentation. Particularly in aspects such as enunciation, facial expression and bearing, and finger techniques, the style may appear easy to learn yet difficult to capture in its true essence, requiring both the radiance of spring sunshine and a heart as calm as still water. Twenty-Four Chapters on Mei Lanfang also enables readers to feel, through many small details and everyday matters, Mei Lanfang's virtues of modesty, magnanimity, joy in helping others, and understanding and tolerance - while the national integrity he demonstrated by growing a beard and refusing to perform during the Japanese occupation is the most admirable of all. 《梅兰芳二十四章》是作者徐城北15年来积累的对梅兰芳的亲身感悟而写成,撷取梅先生生活的片段,诸如上世纪三十年代访美,他的表演折服了无数好莱坞的演员,并对美国电影艺术的发展产生积影响;访问前苏联,直接促进了布莱希特表演体系的形成。梅派的妙处:一个是贫富皆贵,一个是动中含静,不只是唱腔,造型上亦是如此,尤其是在吐字发音、动作神情、指法运用等方面,看似好学却难得神韵,既要春光明媚,又要心如止水。《梅兰芳二十四章》还从许多细小的事物中,使读者很平实地感觉到梅先生谦逊大度、助人为乐、体谅宽容等种种美德,而蓄须明志的民族气节最是令人钦佩。
