Yangtze River Delta literary and art volunteers brought a spectacular performance to Zhenjiang, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Organized by the Propaganda Department of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, the event showcased the talents of artists from Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Anhui.
The performance, part of the “Our Chinese Dream – Bringing Culture to Ten Thousand Families” initiative, featured renowned artists who have received prestigious awards such as the “Plum Blossom Award” and “Peony Award.” From traditional Chinese opera to modern magic tricks, the diverse program captivated the audience and brought a touch of cultural richness to Zhenjiang.
Highlights of the evening included performances by Shanghai “Magnolia Award” winner Guo Ruiyue, who mesmerized the crowd with a Peking Opera piece, and singer Jiang Nan, who delivered a soulful rendition of “There is a Waiting for Going Home.” The event also showcased the talents of young artists like magic performer Dong Liang and Huangmei Opera singer He Yun.
The performance was broadcast live online, attracting over 2.5 million viewers. The series of activities, which will continue in other districts of the Yangtze River Delta, aims to provide cultural enrichment to local communities and promote the integration of traditional arts with modern entertainment.
As the volunteers continue their journey through the region, audiences can expect more delightful performances and a celebration of China’s rich cultural heritage. Through music, dance, and storytelling, these artists are bringing art to the people and spreading the joy of creativity throughout the Yangtze River Delta.
