After twenty years in retirement, Mu Guiying sets aside old grievances and takes command of the army to defend her country, in the China National Peking Opera Company’s 2027 New Year series.
The performance is in Chinese.
In the Northern Song dynasty, the frontier general Yang Jiye and his eight sons win great merit defending the borders and bring stability to the Song court. Mu Guiying, the wife of Yang Jiye’s grandson, has also served the dynasty with distinction, yet slandered by treacherous ministers she leaves court with She Taijun and spends twenty years in retirement.
When a prince of Western Xia suddenly rises in revolt and no one at court can stop him, the Song Emperor wants Mu Guiying to lead the army. Remembering the court’s coldness towards the Yang family and the schemes of the treacherous ministers, she at first refuses. Encouraged by her grandmother She Taijun, she puts personal resentment aside for the peace of the country and, with her husband Yang Zongbao and their son and daughter Yang Wenguang and Yang Jinhua, confidently takes the command platform, names her generals, swears in the troops with strict discipline and rides out to the battlefield.
