The ancient music of the Hani people faces decline, Chen Nan reports in Yuanyang county, Yunnan province.
He sits alone on a bench in the sun, surrounded by people, most of whom are tourists.
As the show starts, he watches dancers and singers enacting scenes that show them planting seeds, farming fields and harvesting. He murmurs a song and nods his head.
