In 2015, the dance drama "Tsing Yi" broke into her vision and became the seventh work created by "Yabin and Her Friends".
"The dance drama "Tsing Yi" is Xiao Yanqiu's dream, and it is also my dream." Wang Yabin said when talking about the creation of the dance drama, presenting it on the stage is expected to trigger people's thinking about how to view life. Such a proposition is related to Life itself matches the international dance body language.
As a "post-80s" dancer, whether it is the self-pity when looking down at the sleeves, or the infinite sadness in the eyes when the heart is twisting, Wang Yabin's interpretation of Xiao Yanqiu shows a high degree of control. In the dance drama "Tsing Yi", two 3.5-meter-long water sleeves become an extension of the dancer's body, which greatly assists in the catharsis of emotions. The skill behind this can be imagined: a slight deviation when the dancer shakes the sleeves may affect the accuracy of the artistic expression.
In Wang Yabin’s works, the water sleeves are always smart and beautiful. They can express emotions and are endowed with many emotions. "Fan Dance Painting" combines water sleeves, fan dance skills and modern dance performance methods. In the dance drama "Tsing Yi", her sleeve dance almost merged into one. "My favorite and most memorable course is the water sleeves class. The scene of students walking in white water sleeves in the bright rehearsal hall is one of the most beautiful scenes in my memory." Wang Yabin said. Water sleeves are the external expression of Wang Yabin’s understanding of dance.

The choreography of thedance drama "Tsing Yi" brings together well-known stage, costume and lighting designers from the UK, France and other countries.

In the past eight years, "Tsing Yi" has been performed nearly 100 times, has appeared on the stage of the Norwegian National Opera, and was also invited to participate in the Pittsburgh International Arts Festival in the United States.
The dance drama "Journey to the West" is based on Wu Chengen's novel "Journey to the West". It is the fourteenth production of "Yabin and Her Friends". The work uses international and modern dance language and contemporary art techniques to interpret the current understanding of Chinese classics from the perspective of integrating China and the West. "As a young dancer and choreographer, you must have a sense of awe on the way forward, take every work seriously, and devote yourself to it with heart and soul. In the past few years, the works I have participated in choreographing and performing, whether in various parts of the country, Whether it is representing China on the international stage, it has been widely praised. Not only can we present China's excellent traditional culture three-dimensionally on the stage, but we can also allow more audiences to intuitively feel the charm of China's excellent traditional culture."
