Abstract
[First paragraph]
As Helen Hok-Sze Leung points out in her introduction to this slim volume, over the two decades since the release of Chen Kaige's 1993 Farewell My Concubine (霸王别姬 Ba wang bie ji), scholarship on it has "run the gamut." Nonetheless, while much has been said about nearly every aspect of the film, its treatment of "(trans)gender and (homo)sexuality" has remained a vexed question. This, along with the passage of time, affords Leung an opportunity to revisit this now classic film.
