Our generation has not yet re-produced the Jiao version (that is, Jiao Juyin's version) of "Teahouse". I have been here before, so this is a conversation that spans 36 years," said Feng Yuanzheng, president of Beijing People's Art Institute.

Young people are most trained during the tour
Starting from "Tea House" and ending with "Under the Red Flag", the repertoire design of the tour is "not a simple reincarnation, but a restart," Feng Yuanzheng explained.

From the front to the backstage, Feng Yuanzheng saw that everyone had changed from a nodding acquaintance who just met each other to a more familiar and tacit understanding. As fellow travelers, "people's hearts are more aligned, which is one of the biggest gains." Taking the stage "away" also honed the professional skills of young people. Taking the stage design team as an example, five major plays were performed in turn. "The time for scene changes and lighting adjustment is very tight. Under this situation, we further require that each scene and The switching between scenes must be controlled within a certain time and the audience cannot be kept waiting.
