8. Female Generals of the Yang Family

Female Generals of the Yang Family is a historical saga based on a military family from the early Song Dynasty (960–1279). Written by composer Du Mingxin, the stories recount the unflinching loyalty and the remarkable bravery of these female generals as they come to the battlefield and protect their homeland.

The opera is set during the war between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Western Xia, after the death of the Song general, Yang Zongbao. Yang Zongbao's 100-year-old grandmother, She Saihua, along with Mu Guiying and other widows of the Yang family, lead the Song army to resist the invaders.
