Mei Lanfang's American journeyreimagining transpacific cultural exchanges /[electronic resource] :by Zhaohui Hong, Cunfa Dong. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2025. - xix, 327 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm. - East Asian popular culture,2634-5943. - East Asian popular culture..

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Part 1: Clarifying and Verifying the Facts -- Chapter 2: Daily Chronicle about Mei Lanfang Visit -- Chapter 3: Verification of Performance Sessions -- Chapter 4: Analysis of Performance Repertoires -- Chapter 5: Decoding Box Office Revenue -- Part 2: Exploring New Dimensions of Success -- Chapter 6: People-to-People Peking Opera Diplomacy -- Chapter 7: Gateway to US-China Inculturation -- Chapter 8: The Marginalized Figures and Events.

This groundbreaking study examines Peking Opera legend Mei Lanfang's 1930 U.S. visit through extensive primary sources and a cross-cultural lens. It meticulously chronicles his 76 performances over 182 days, reconstructing his daily itinerary, highlighting key events, and estimating box office revenues. Drawing on over 1,000 local newspaper reports from 34 states and territories, as well as diaries, memoirs, archival records, and advertisements, this book offers fresh insights into U.S.-China cultural exchange nearly a century ago-a topic with enduring contemporary relevance. Employing a mixed-methods approach, it integrates grounded theory, abductive reasoning, and the theory of para-text to deliver a rigorous and innovative analysis. As both a theoretical contribution and an analytical framework, the book reimagines transpacific cultural exchange, systematically exploring Peking Opera diplomacy, which involves non-governmental individuals and collectives engaged in cultural, artistic, commercial, and educational interactions. Furthermore, it delves into inculturation, examining how Mei Lanfang's visit contributed to the localization of Chinese culture in America, fostering cultural accommodation, adaptation, and integration. Finally, it introduces the theory of marginalization studies, shedding light on the peripheral figures and events that played a crucial role in Mei's visit. By combining rigorous analysis with innovative theoretical perspectives, this book reinterprets and reimages the significance of Mei Lanfang's visit, offering an essential resource for scholars and anyone interested in modern Chinese history, transpacific studies, cultural diplomacy, and U.S.-China relations. Zhaohui Hong is a professor at the Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education at Fordham University, USA. A scholar with numerous books and research articles to his name, Dr. Hong specializes in modern China, U.S.-China relations, and economic history. Cunfa Dong is a research fellow at Fudan University, Shanghai, China. He has published extensively on modern China and the history of the Republic of China. Together, they have co-authored several research articles on Mei Lanfang and Peking Opera in Chinese.
