After learning that the singing section belongs to traditional Chinese Peking Opera, some foreigners even began to become fascinated by Peking Opera.
"Honestly, when I first heard Yun Yan singing a play a few days ago, I was surprised.

Overseas players praised the Peking Opera singing segment.
Another foreign netizen wrote, "Although I am not a Chinese, I do not find this singing strange at all, because each country has its own traditions and culture." I think this singing style is very unique and the performers are amazing. ”

"The reverence and development of Chinese opera culture has always been our starting point, based on opera elements, understanding and absorbing new cultural elements, interpreting traditional content in an innovative form, and arousing the audience's enthusiasm for traditional culture." The production team of "Original God" said.
