As the leader of the Xiaosheng group of the first Young Peking Opera Performers Conference of China Central Radio and Television, Sun Yajun will wear a white robe symbolizing purity and appear on the magnificent CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage of the Year of the Dragon on February 9. The four winners of the Qingjing Club will collectively appear in this opera program. In addition, he will also show the wonderful drama "Eight Hammers" at the CCTV Opera Spring Festival Gala.
Surprisingly, Sun Yajun did not come from a bachelor's class, but enrolled as a transfer student at the Shanghai Opera School, and in the past he was often considered to be slower, a full three years behind his peers. The post-90s Sun Yajun, who has extraordinary comprehension, appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and he said with a smile, "Every time we rehearse, we will handle the whole process of the whole repertoire and change several costumes." ”

For the audience in front of the TV, the Spring Festival Gala must be a visual feast not to be missed. However, there are actually a lot of differences compared to the real scene. Sun Yajun said frankly, "We need to wear heavy boots, stand on a stage up to three meters high, and experience a strong sense of fear in the sky. He expressed his deep gratitude to the Qingjing Association for creating a stage for young artists to show their talents, and sighed: "After years of precipitation, CCTV has finally opened up a new chapter in large-scale Peking Opera activities, allowing us to be honored to appear on this stage that attracts national attention and jointly spread the soul of opera." ”

For the harvest of participating in the Qingjing Conference in the past year, Sun Yajun's first memory is the extremely cold Beijing. "My voice was hoarse from the second round onwards until a full month after the third round. The Qingjing Festival is really different from the actual performance, it is tense and full of competition, and our voices, waist and legs are secretly competing with others, trying not to make any mistakes. ”
Regarding his New Year's outlook, Sun Yajun said frankly: "The stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has paved a new starting point for us, and we will always maintain our original intention, continue to learn and progress." In addition, he revealed that the national tour activities carried out by the Qingjing Club will be launched, and the first stop is scheduled to be screened at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater in Beijing in March.
In addition to the Qingjing Club, Sun Yajun is also the overall champion of the National Youth Opera Challenge (Season 2) of "Opera Wharf", won the Silver Award of the 2nd National Peking Opera Student Television Competition of CCTV for "Pinggui Farewell Kiln" when he was studying at the opera school in 2014 with excerpts from "Pinggui Farewell Kiln", and won the 29th Shanghai Magnolia Drama Performing Arts Award for Newcomer Lead Role in 2019 with "Picking Up Paintings" and "Eight Hammers" respectively. He once played Liu Mengmei, full of elegant temperament, and also played Lu Wenlong, holding two guns and stepping on thick soles, showing solid footwork, leaving a deep impact on the judges and the audience.

It is worth noting that Sun Yajun's road to opera is not a smooth road. When he was 9 years old, his father sent him to leave his hometown of Shandong to study opera in Hebei, hoping that he could show his talent through the opera stage.
