The Story of the Stone: The Warning Voice | 
This week‘s library haul, plus the changing-face opera doll I did indeed go back to buy on Monday. They‘d already sold one, so I‘m glad I stopped in! The current face is Bao-yu; the others are Dai-yu, Bao-chai, Wang Xi-feng, Shi Xiang-yun, and Grandma Liu (with thanks to my phone‘s built-in translation function, since the box is in Mandarin). I‘m kind of obsessed with it, and I was delighted to learn opera dolls are a whole genre of collectible!
TieDyeDude Fun! Glad you decided to go back 1mo
Ruthiella Whew! 😅 Glad the thrift store wasn‘t sold out! 1mo
willaful I'm going to have to see if I can find that online, I think my mom would enjoy one. She loves odd toys and that's one of her favorite books. 1mo
xicanti @TieDyeDude @Ruthiella it was such a fun find! I‘m tempted to go back and see if they‘ve got any left for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, too, just because those ones were so very cool. 1mo
xicanti @willaful good luck! Amazon had a bunch of opera dolls when I checked on there. I didn‘t spot this one specifically, but I might not‘ve dug deep enough. I‘m sure there are all sorts of sites that specialize in Chinese collectibles, too! 1mo
