The plot and singing of this little drama were very contagious, and it led me to understand the story of Granny Chen, and then I was Chen Po’s kindness has been passed down for thousands of years. I think this is both an excellent traditional Chinese virtue and a carrier of traditional Chinese opera, which is very suitable for ‘going out’.” At the beginning of this year, Liu Liyuan, a teacher at the Foreign Languages School of Zhejiang Wanli University, spent two months on it. This little drama is translated into English. Teacher Liu claims to be a middle-aged fan of traditional Chinese opera culture. In the past few years, she has been committed to the dissemination of opera. She has offered the elective course "Appreciation of Opera" in colleges and universities to bring the beauty of opera to campus. At the same time, international students were brought into the theater to experience opera and so on.
