This is a real event that took place in Macao in 1849 (the 29th year of Qing dynasty Emperor Daoguang’s reign):
A plotted land expropriation
An earth-shattering story
A group of affectionate Macao people
A painting scroll of southern China full of historical vicissitudes
Cantonese opera The Soul of Macao is adapted by national first class playwright Li Xinhua from a namesake Beijing Opera work written by a Macao writer, and presented by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region Government and produced by the Foshan Cantonese Opera Troupe.
