Tang Xianzu (1550-1616) is considered China's greatest playwright and is revered in a country of great literary and dramatic traditions. The writer's most famous works, known collectively as the Four Dreams, are still performed throughout China today on the Chinese Kun opera stage. Professor Wang Rongpei (1942-2017) was a prestigious Chinese translator, lexicologist and educator. His effort in translating the five dramas of Tang Xianzu over the past two decades culminated in the publication of his magnum opus The Complete Dramatic Works of Tang Xianzu. Zhang Ling (1975-) is an associate professor of Soochow University. She cooperated with her doctoral tutor Professor Wang Rongpei in the English translation and study of a number of Chinese literary classics, including Gems of Kunqu Opera, Gems of the Wu Ballads and Tang Xianzu's dramas.
