The Western Chamber printed by Liu Yingxi is the only existing copy in the world,which is now stored in the East Asia Library of the University of California,Berkeley,USA.Liu's version is a reworking of Chen Meigong.Lius'text and comments are based on the Chen Meigong's version,and made a proofreading note with reference to the version of YongYutang.Therefore,it can be inferred that Liu's version was published later than Chen Meigong's version,that is,after Wanli 46(AD 1618).The relationship of origin of Sun Yuefeng's version is the same as Liu's.They are in brotherly relationship,but the two are not directly related.
