Still in love with Peking Opera

Seeing more youngsters watch Peking Opera in recent years has made everything that she did for the art and the industry's development worthwhile, said Wang Rongrong, a deputy to the National People's Congress.

Wang, a popular Peking Opera artist, has worked for the quintessence of Chinese culture for about 30 years, "and I am still in love with it," said the 54-year-old.

She applauded the country's efforts to promote the opera, but this year during the NPC session she suggested optimizing funding "to use the money where it is most needed," she said.
