Transcription: "Mao pin" written on rendering paper. "This should be a very fine wool or silk blend suit, beautifully tailored in European style (like Zhou Enlai's). Pockets are practical. Trousers have side closing and creases but no pockets. Off-white traditional silk blouse with long sleeves and cuffs. It has off-white embroidery and pearl buttons. Embroidery should show on collar. Glasses must be as in research. Same is true of the hairstyle. Shoes are black and should be a refined version of Chinese slippers but in leather. Socks are flesh colored.", "PRINCIPLE MADAME MAO", "ACT 2/2" written on mounting paper.
