The exceptional doctor named Piei Chueh living in the Spring and Autumn Period is the first legendary doctor with an official biography in Chinese history. According to a record in the book “Lieh Tzu”, Piei Chueh performed thoracotomies and heart transplants on patients, which magically led to a series of bizarre changes in those patients’ lives as the transplanted hearts had memories. Adapted from the story of Piei Chueh’s heart transplant procedures, this show addresses the interplay of sense in one’s mind and sensibility in one’s heart and its impact on patients who receive body organ transplants against the backdrop of ongoing disputes between two clinics in a small town in an unserious, joking, and hilarious mood. The screenwriter, Yang Hsing-chih, said that although the side effects of a heart transplant were possibly exaggerated for theatrical effects, doing so was inevitable in order to probe into the psychological aspect of medical practices.

With the collaboration of head director, Fu Yu-hui, and director, Tseng Hsien-shou, who was professionally-trained in Beijing Opera performances, a seamless fusion of modern theatre techniques and traditional performing techniques—“singing, dialogue, acting, and acrobatics”--was born. The leading performer, Kuo Chun-mei, is famed for her versatility. The” heart” of her role in the show, she is in love with her bro yet her “memory” is in love with a very good female friend. In her male-female dual persona and a female spirit inside a male corporal form, she is complex, capricious, self-conflicting, and stuck in a dilemma. However, she still gives off her personal one-of-a-kind charisma on the stage. Fans are all intoxicated by her dexterous singing, which effortlessly shifts between her original voice and falsetto voice.
