Moon Lee’s “Terracotta Warriors” tragedy
My
production company and I have just launched a world-shattering new 3D
production of Terracotta Warriors and
have just completed the first American four weeks’ tour in Denver,
Colorado. Although this history-making
theatrical event marks a personal milestone for me, in a peculiar way it also
reminds me of another monumental event of my personal life: it was during the
2004 rehearsals of the world-premiering Terracotta
Warriors that trapped by then celebrity wife, Moon Lee, into a
life-changing affair with a teenage dancer employed by my performance troupe. And it was my liberation from that unenviable
marriage that freed and motivated me to create the new unprecedented theatrical
phenomenon that is Terracotta Warriors 3D. Interested parties should check out

As
director and producer, I was gratified by Denver’s overwhelmingly favorable
reaction to this production. Having been
tested and improved in nearly a hundred performances in Beijing and Hong Kong,
the show Terracotta Warriors 3D that
played thirty-two performances in Denver was truly triumphant. This international exposure has already set
us up to use this new 3D theatrical art direction to help advance the cause of
Chinese performing arts both in China and internationally in the future.
From
my perspective, poor Moon Lee and her pitiful antics that dragged me into an
unavoidable “mud fight” are now distant memories only worthy of comic
relief. Strangely enough, some members
of our audience still purchased my book, Two
Faces of the Moon. When I married
Moon Lee, she was an endearing and respectable retired Hong Kong action actress
and a good mother that was enthusiastic about Chinese dance. Now, the world will always remember Moon for her
indecency. She has no one to blame but
herself. Yet, her loss has clearly
become my gain. My wife and daughter and
I are thrilled with our daily lives.
The
memorable success of the new Terracotta
Warriors closes a loop in my personal life.
