After today's performance, I can't help but feel the emptiness in my heart and the desire to meet friends. If you are free, let's meet later at Chihu Rock. I'll show you around the night bazaar and we can try some midnight snacks. How does that sound? When it comes to midnight snacks, the barbecue and drinks combo will be absolutely satisfying. They're not the healthiest things to eat, but since it's my birthday, the elders in the troupe will cut me some slack tonight. Indulging like this once a year makes me happy. This time, I would also like to invite you to try a local delicacy of Liyue: Pop's Tea! You don't have to down it in one gulp if you find it too strong and bitter. Just think of it as a new experience. See you then. | |

For my birthday this year, our long-time fans booked a ship for the entire Yun-Han Opera Troupe on which to admire the full moon. As this was the request of our adoring supporters, we of course decided to go. I discussed matters with everyone and, seeing how devoted our fans are, we agreed that it was best to repay them in at least some small part with a performance. Upon the sea and beneath the moon, accompanied by the sound of the waves... I think this song is best suited to the scene: "The frosty disk of the full moon rises upon a lonely island, life fleeting as a pleasant dream, let me raise my cup with open heart and drink to my soul's satisfaction." To spend my birthday creating beautiful memories with friends and those who love and appreciate opera fills me with joy. I hope that you might be a part of those memories, but as I am unsure if you have a free moment, I am writing you this letter of invitation. Should you wish to join me in scene and song beneath the moon, then do come along! | |

| Thoughts on a New Play... | |

Recently, two musicians in our opera troupe retired and returned to their hometowns. Before they left, they introduced several other adept musicians to us. These musicians are indeed talented. Despite the little time we've had to practice and rehearse, their playing is already in perfect harmony with my singing. As I listened to those melodies, so familiar yet fresh, I could sometimes see the smiling faces of the two old musicians accompanying me with their performances during my childhood days of learning opera. Partings and encounters are a running theme throughout life, being staged again and again, bringing us sorrows and surprises, and these are but a few of the manifold flavors of life. In this new year of my life, I wish to spend more time with my dear friends and continue to progress in my singing and acting skills. In fact, I've been feeling inspired lately and am planning to stage a new play. As it coincides with my birthday celebration, I'd really like to hear your insights on it. Please do come. | |

Dear friend, have you heard? Xinyan is now holding concerts in Fontaine! Truly, a praiseworthy milestone... I have been loath to miss even one of her performances, so I've entrusted the stage to Yunning. In the meantime, I spent the past few days in Fontaine — a restful and inspiring time in equal measure. This birthday celebration in a foreign land will surely be filled with new experiences, not to mention a chance to spend time with old friends — both Xinyan and you, of course. Shall I host us for the day? We can gather at Hotel Debord. I've heard delightful accounts of a local beverage called "Fonta," and can imagine no finer setting or company — in which to enjoy it. | |

| Thank you for your support. How was the song? I'd love to hear what you think about it. It is thanks to everyone's love and support that my opera skills has continued to improve. As it is my birthday, the audience have come especially to wish me well. I shall respond in kind by putting on the best show I can. | |
| "I guess the elders of the troupe won't blame me for indulging myself at the night markets just one evening each year, right?" | |
| Today's rehearsal concluded early, so I finally got a moment to savor the refreshments prepared by the teahouse. Although, as the director of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe, I will still need to head to Heyu Tea House this afternoon to discuss future collaborations with them. Alas, leisure time is always too fleeting... Speaking of which, as someone who's traveled far and wide, you've seen performances staged in different places. Perhaps you could come up with some brilliant ideas. Why not come with me and share your insights? You know everyone at the teahouse as well, so there's no need to stand on formalities. | |
| You crafted this silk floral hairpiece yourself? Can I take a look? Such meticulous stitching, a harmony of hues, and ingenious design... I can see the devotion woven into every petal. Thank you for your gift, I'll take good care of it. When I take the stage in a fitting role, this shall adorn my performance. Sometimes wearing a different costume can add a new touch to the play, don't you think so? |

| "How gently do the clouds and flowers sway, as dancing winds meander through the vales." | |
| "I guess the elders of the troupe won't blame me for indulging myself at the night markets just one evening each year, right?" | |
| "Your performance today was wonderful, Ms. Yun!" "All thanks to everyone's encouragement! Oh, and incidentally, Er'ye, I was just about to go looking for your young lady 'Xingyan.'" | |
| "Today, Mr. Liu Su is telling the story of the 'Ring of Raining Blades.' Although everyone's familiar with it by now, each retelling still makes my chest tighten in anticipation. Upon closer appreciation, Mr. Liu Su's performance is exquisitely calibrated — every rise and fall, every tension and release, strikes with impeccable timing. Much like Liyue's classic operas, though the plot is known to all, they withstand the test of countless viewings, each revisit revealing new layers of nuance and artistry." |
