A comedy sketch called We are on the Journey, scripted by writers at the Cultural Center of Zhangjiagang, the port city in eastern Jiangsu province, made its debut at a national performance festival held in Lanzhou, Gansu province, on Aug 2.

A total of 31 performances were shortlisted for the festival, including dramas, children's play, song-and-dance duets and Hanchu opera.

Zhangjiagang itself is set to host three performance festivals in September and November.
