Question

Traditional Chinese opera is finding new life in a different art form. More than 100 primary school teachers came to a training court to pass on the art to school children. After learning Chinese opera-themed(戏剧题材的) cartoons, they are now confident that they can spark(激发) children's interest.

These school teachers were quick learners in Chinese opera. They are practising a classic piece of Yueju Opera, a major branch of the Chinese opera family.

Fang Tingting, the performer of Shanghai Yueju Opera Troupe, said, “I was actually nervous about teaching them, because I thought they may not be interested. But their passion(热情) swept away my worries. I think they will do well in helping Chinese opera.”

Cartoons naturally attract the attention of children. Introducing Chinese opera to them in this way is proved to be great.

Liu Hui, a school teacher, said, “The children are really interested in the cartoons. As teachers, we give them some directions and they start to copy the movies in the opera.”
