③ It has hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, paid more attention to the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand.
The art director(导演) Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes and stage decorations. ④ He compared (将……比作) Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage.
