In Yang Yazhou's family, puppet shows have been passed down for seven generations. His grandfather Yang Gaojin was the "Fuchun School" opera champion at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and his father Yang Sheng integrated the Peking Opera body singing voice into the family study, founded the "Beipai Budai Opera", and became a representative figure of the Fujian Beipai Budai Opera art.
"I noticed that the Mascot of the Winter Olympics was very cute, so I used the puppet head carving technique to make an iron-branched puppet 'ice pier' according to the pictures on the Internet." Yang Yazhou made while introducing. Finally, he carefully painted the Winter Olympic LOGO, and the second cute, lively and thick puppet version of "Ice Pier" was freshly baked.

The "ice pier" transforms into an iron-branch puppet, which can flip and fight, and can wave... Yang Yazhou said that his self-made puppet version of "Ice Pier" is copied, but there are also innovations, "'Ice Pier' one hand holds up a peace dove, symbolizing friendship and peace, inspired by the opening ceremony performance of the Winter Olympics." ”
"This bigger 'ice pier' is the sister, and the younger one is the sister, and the sister holds the sister's hand and is no longer separated." Yang Yazhou said that in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, a sister was "lost", and the sister went to find it and brought her sister back, "This touching scene touched me." ”

"Not a single pigeon can be less." Yang Yazhou made the puppet version of "Ice Pier" into a short video to share with friends, which was paid attention to and praised by taiwanese puppet peers.
