The month-long immersive course aimed to introduce local children to the art of Peking Opera, promoting personal growth and a deeper appreciation for traditional culture.

The program emphasized more than just the development of skills; it focused on igniting a passion for Peking Opera and enriching the students' cultural knowledge.
