Definition
戏迷 refers to a devoted fan of Chinese opera (戏曲), especially Peking opera or regional opera forms. The word combines 戏 (opera/drama) and 迷 (fanatic), implying a deep passion and knowledge. It is a common term in Chinese cultural contexts, distinct from a general 'theater fan' in English, which might include plays or musicals.
