Traditional art form gets new lease of life

It's around 8 pm. The streets are quiet. For most of Heze, a city in East China's Shandong province, which has a population of around 8 million and is known as the main center for the cultivation of the national flower peony, it is the end of another day.

But one cultural activity center is filled with energy and excitement.

Inside the old, two-floor venue, a crowd is roaring and whistling.
