Established in 1988, the Qi Shu Fang Peking Opera Company is a nonprofit, tax-exempt arts organization. The company's mission is to promote Chinese and Chinese-American culture by bringing Peking Opera - one of China's national treasures - to a world audience. Through its performances the company aims to foster a deeper cultural understanding between East and West.

The Qi Shu Fang Peking Opera Company's professionalism and high level of artistic attainment have been met with enthusiasm by audiences throughout the United States and the world, including at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Madison Square Garden in New York City. The company's activities have also been generously supported by New York State Arts Council. Highlights of the company's thirty seven-year history include: performances in 1997 in Connecticut, Texas, and Ohio; a twelve-city tour of Florida in 1999 and performances in Poland in that same year. In 2001 the company organized the first annual Peking Opera Festival, an event that was greeted with approval by both audience members and critics from The New York Times.

In 2002 the company was one of thirty groups invited to Washington, D.C. to take part in the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. During this ten-day event, which reached an audience of over one hundred thousand people, the Qi Shu Fang Peking Opera Company was recognized as the "audience's favorite" performing group. In 2003 the company made history by staging a critically acclaimed complete performance of The Women Generals of the Yang Family at the New Victory Theatre on Broadway.

Finally, in conjunction with the Arts Power Group, the Qi Shu Fang Peking Opera Company performs, lectures, and holds workshops in schools and universities throughout the country.
