The man who journeyed to the heart of Peking Opera

"When the audiences reacted warmly to Peking Opera, I was impressed. I felt then that I should not give up the art form," recalls Liu, who moved to Beijing and joined in the China National Peking Opera Company in 2008.

Yi Ling from the China National Peking Opera Company's foreign affairs office says that the company has been launching online programs to expand fan base not only in China but also abroad.

"We are glad to see a revival of Peking Opera during the past few years, especially the young people who come to see our shows both in theaters and online," says Yi.
