"These fifty or so performances, not including creation and rehearsal, even if each performance is 20 performances, it is a thousand." So many performances, each of which is a combination of creative and repetitive labor, is the result of mental and physical labor. On the land of the motherland, almost everywhere you can hear the cross-talk of Ma Ji Zhao Yanhe, and everywhere there is the joy they sow. A lifetime of hard work deserves our respect with applause.
