This legendary Chinese opera master has become internationally recogmized, partly due to the fact that he was raised by Bertolt Brecht, a highly influential German dramatist, as a model of the allenation acting' style which Brecht theorized and preferred.  This interpretaion of Brecth toward Landfang's acting style, of which he sawonly once, brought about controversies, especially on whether Brecht correctly comprehend the essence of Chinese acting.  This issue also exists in other facets of Brecht's theories and practives.
