An Orerview
This is the beginning of the interview in which Xu narrates the history of Zhangzhou puppets' the related local customs,and their historical role and impact. His narrative originatesfrom his own experience, and is complemented by stories passed down by his forefathers, legends told to him as a child, and other historical sources he has come across.
As an interviewer, I have done my best to remain true and objective. I neither stopped nor corrected him during the interview nor did I insert my personal opinions when reviewing and arranging the material. However, I positioned some notes in places where I believe crucial information appears ambiguous.
For the reader's convenience, I do not refer to my questions during the interview, as the narrator often repeats them in his narration. All pictures are offered by Xu or taken by myself unless otherwise noted. This remains true throughout the book.

According to my knowledge, some of which comes from legend, and may or may not be factually correct, the tradition of puppetry in Zhangzhou is rather long standing.
