Reaching the 90th anniversary since its formation, Ming Hwa Yuan has transformed from “the ditch of career choice” to choice artistic career that transcend generations. In recent years, the group focuses on preserving their legacy with efforts like creating series of youth oriented productions by Playwright/director CHEN Sheng-Guo. These productions serve as a platform for new talents to shine, with the hope of injecting new breeze of life into Taiwanese traditional performing arts.
\n\n\n\n
The Battle of Dragon City marks the 90th anniversary memorial production of Ming Hwa Yuan, forming the narrative from a common war cry of bandits “fellas, let's rob!“, to depict a world through the lens of commoners.
\n\n\n\n
The Bandits portrays the rise of common bandits, their journey from zeroes to heroes. This proves that even commoners can achieve greatness in this chaotic world. In the sequel production, The Battle of Dragon City, what seems like a conflict between common folks and the authority lies the suspenseful reveal of the rightful Lord of Dragon City.
\n\n\n\n
The Bandits of the Tiger Ridge encounter the soldiers of the Dragon City; the force of Tiger-Pond Fort was vanquished, yet the beautiful bandit leader Lu Ling-Xi was pardoned by the victor. What fate awaits the defeated bandits?
\n\n\n\n
The ill stricken Lu Ling-Xi betrays her paternal family and her fiancé, the existing Lord of Dragon City, to join Tiger-Pond Fort. How will the love conflict formed by these individuals play out and resolve?
\n\n\n\n
What is the secret bond between Dragon City and Tiger-Pond Fort? A hidden pass will be uncovered with the fall of the Fort. Who is the rightful Lord of Dragon City? The existing scheming lord? The brave common bandit? Or someone else?

Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group
\n\nEstablished in 1929, Ming Hwa Yuan went through thick and thin of GeZaiXi over the years, elevating the art form through the ages into a lively, colorfully imaginative, contemporary stage performance. With engaging stories that tackle modern issues, Ming Hwa Yuan was able to elevate GeZaiXi, Taiwanese Opera, a folk art performed on outdoor stage into the pantheon of national theatre, transforming a waning traditional art form to a shining beacon of Taiwan's cultural industry.
\n
The group continues to develop GeZaiXi as a medium to catapult Taiwan's unique culture to the global theatre scene, touring various continents and presenting the “Musical of the Orient” to more audiences around the world.
