These will be curated by Wu Man, the brilliant virtuoso on the pipa, a Chinese lute with an assertive voice (if such a thing can be imagined in a lute).

杰出的琵琶演奏家吴蛮将引领这次演出。琵琶是一种中式的鲁特琴，音色铿锵有力(如果把它当做特鲁琴的话)。

WHEN Wu Man arrived in New Haven, Connecticut, from Beijing in 1990 she spoke no English and gambled on surviving with the help of her pipa, a traditional lute-like Chinese instrument.

1990年，吴曼从北京奔赴康涅狄格州纽黑文市的那会儿，一句英语也不会说，生存的希望完全寄托在她的琵琶（类似鲁特琴的中国传统乐器）上。

The hero who is celebrated varies by region: the romantic poet Qu Yuan is venerated in Hubei and Hunan Provinces, Wu Zixu (an old man said to have died while slaying a dragon in Guizhou Province) in South China, and Yan Hongwo in Yunnan Province among the Dai community.
