Answer
The "Wild Man" is the last remaining Gao opera of the three classics - the other two are "Yellow Millet Dream" and "The Orphan of Zhao" - to be performed publicly in China, due to its politically sensitive content. The performance conveys the conflict between the loyal minister and the tyrant, which led to multiple bans during periods of political sensitivity, the last of which occurred during the Cultural Revolution.
