Song Yan, from Beijing, head of Beijing Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe, has been performing Peking Opera for 44 years. During the Spring Festival, he and the troupe actively rehearse new plays while performing small-scale shows. In Song's memory, watching Peking Opera has always been a popular Spring Festival activity to Beijing residents, especially to local Beijingers. As a traditional art, Peking Opera embodies rich elements of Chinese culture, and is a good way to send Spring Festival greetings. "After the pandemic, we will again perform classic plays to the audience," said Song.
