On the 19th, Li Shujian told reporters that the opera program only lasted ten minutes, and there were more than 140 actors participating in the performance, most of whom were choruses, and the Yu opera "Dadeng Temple" was his personal solo. To carry forward the yellow river culture, Yu opera should be a pioneer. He is well aware of the importance of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage for publicizing Yu opera and showing the image of Henan's culturally strong province, even if it is a "veteran out of the horse", it is also a force in his heart. "I think it is a very proud thing to be able to use the spring festival gala stage of the Year of the Ox to convey the voice of Yu opera to audiences across the country and even the world, to the development, inheritance and popularization of Yu opera, and to make the due contributions of Yu opera people to Henan."

【Performing duties】Collect suggestions from netizens before going to Beijing, and put them on the top!

"The inheritance and protection of traditional opera culture is not something that one person or a group can do well, it requires the joint efforts of the whole society, and local governments will play an important role in it." Li Shujian said: To this end, during the two sessions of the National People's Congress in recent years, the focus of his attention has been to carry forward traditional culture. Among them, he focused on how traditional opera can increase its dissemination with the help of Internet platforms last year. "I have acted for 46 years, more than 100 plays a year, each with 2,000 viewers, 46 years is more than 10 million viewers, but in the first 2 months of live broadcasting, there were more than 200 million people watching, and I played a few lifetimes of plays, which I did not expect before."

Open the video number built by Li Shujian on one of the Internet platforms, and the top one is to solicit suggestions from everyone to use the Internet to spread traditional opera culture. At present, the number of messages has reached 17,000.

During the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, what suggestions will Li Shujian bring to Beijing? What is the current state of readiness?

Li Shujian said that as a deputy to the National People's Congress, he is well aware of the heavy responsibility.
