This past Saturday, Pingtan "Gao Bowen's Story of Flowers", which became popular again due to the hit TV series "Flowers", allowed the public audience to recall the Shanghai-style Pingtan's fashion sense of following the trend and its unique sense of relaxation amidst laughter.

My daughter and son-in-law drove the car, and they also brought their grandchildren. It was considered a weekend trip in Xianxian." Tour. They also have programs for young people. They go to the park and drink coffee, and I come to listen to Pingtan. After that, I borrowed a hotel to stay for one night, and went back to have a farmhouse tomorrow." Mr. Zhou, who lives in Pujiang Town He also said: "In the minds of the older generation, Fengxian belongs to the outer suburbs of Shanghai, but with the increasingly developed transportation, it is now not as far from the city center as imagined. Especially when I live in Pujiang Town, it is very convenient to drive there. .”

What was also popular before the performance was Sun Xuchun’s 50 Years of Performing Arts Shanghai Opera Concert. Shanghai Opera already has a broad mass base in Fengxian, not to mention Sun Xuchun, the earliest top-notch person in the Shanghai Opera circle.

Fans who failed to get their long-cherished wish turned their attention to this "encore" performance of "Nine Trees". They thought they would miss out, but unexpectedly it was still very difficult. It is reported that the concert was sold out within a week of its release, and people continued to call before the performance to inquire whether there would be an additional performance. At the

performance, the young people were "surprised" by the enthusiasm of their aunts and mothers. Chen Xin, who listened to Shanghai Opera for the first time in "Flowers", said frankly: "Every generation has its idols. I didn't expect that the aunties would chase the stars as much as we do now."

Targeting middle-aged and elderly Shanghai Opera lovers, the company launches 24 public welfare training activities of the Shanghai Opera Evergreen Class each year, and provides regular free business guidance to existing local private Shanghai Opera troupes and Shanghai Opera enthusiast salons. Chen Xijia said: "Shanghai Opera is the most beautiful voice in Shanghai. We hope that more young people and new Shanghainese can hear and feel this beauty."
