Interesting life, on good sources, foreign and offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio ovious. I like ALT2 bes, thinking that the others may a bit too cryptic, - funny, that swordsman, but more so after you know that it was his chosen art name. I wonder if the word "revolution" from the source would make a hook more interesting. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that could work. ALT2a: ... that He Jianshi used the Chinese opera to advance a revolution against the Qing dynasty? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes, I like that even better. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
