Drama as a tool gives people the opportunity to extract emotions, and the audience enjoys the story from the perspective of others by watching the performance. Immersing yourself in a theatrical production is a very real experience, and modern theater provides such an experience for the audience. Especially during the pandemic, we need the power of drama even more. ”

Xichang is a satellite launch base, and I believe that our theater festival will also launch a very dazzling satellite that will cause a wide impact around the world. Wu Xiaojiang said, "There is a shared relationship between drama and man and nature. Sharing is sharing in space, emotion and life. However, after the epidemic, we must not only maintain our own creative ability, but also fully express our responsibility to society, the living environment and our attitude to life under the epidemic. ”
