评分In the perspective of language, the translated version manages to balance between the fluent flow of the passage and remaining expressive Chinese metaphors. The depiction of the story is quite impressive, presenting a struggling and melancholy female opera artist. But there still appears incoherence in the plot arrangement that makes me confused.
