Storytellers and their Stories Nobody's growing up is without stories, especially for the generations of Chinese who grew up with the company of radios. Classic Chinese storytelling pieces are the most popular radio programs, like The Romance of the Three Kingdoms performed by Yuan Kuocheng, Heroes Biography of Yue Fei by Liu Lanfang in Sui and Tang Dynasties by Shan Tianfang, and Outlaws of the Marsh by Tian Lianyuan. Their influence goes beyond that of ordinary novels. Their four storytelling artists are household names now, dubbed as the Top Four Storytellers in China. This issue of Biographical Literature focuses on the four artists, telling the stories of these storytellers.
