Guo Jiafu applies makeup before a performance in Taiyuan, capital of North China's Shanxi province, on May 7. The 29-year-old man earned fame as a popular Peking opera singer dressing and singing as a woman, or a "nan dan", meaning man who plays a female role. 1.8 meters tall, the sturdy man has been playing "nan dan" for 16 years, a practice established at a time when women were forbidden to take the stage.
