"This exciting new book by Beiyu Zhang offers a vivid and deeply historicized account of Chinese performing arts in Southeast Asia...This is an outstanding study that is well informed by the secondary scholarship in both English and chinese and is strongly grounded in original research using historical newspapers, periodicals and unpublished documentary sources...Beiyu Zhang's book makes an enormous and very welcome contribution to the field of Chinese and Sinophone peformance studies. It is a must-read for all those interested in the Chinese diaspora in Southeast Asia." - Emily Wilcox, Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, William & Mary in SOJOURN the Journal of Social Issues in Southeast Asai Vol 37 No.2 [2022]
