It is 1: 30 pm. Chen Qiaoru is holding her lunch in a bowl in the rehearsal hall of the Sichuan Opera Theatre in Chengdu. Gulping down rice, she keeps a close eye on an 18-year-old actress rehearsing on stage.
"Your movement is too flexible. It has to be stiffer, "Chen demanded, putting aside her bowl and heading to the stage to correct her movement.
It is normal for the 47-year-old to have a working lunch as she is often preoccupied with rehearsals or coaching young performers.
