年轻一代与越剧热潮
年轻一代与越剧热潮


It is 2024 now. 29-year-old Zhang Yang is from Beijing. Whenever there is traditional Chinese opera on TV, she can’t help but stop and watch.

Recently, Zhang especially like Yueju Opera from East China’s Zhejiang province. Last year, performances of New Dragon Gate Inn by young Yueju actors Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao became popular online. A lot of audiences fell in love with Yueju, including Zhang.
Zhang strongly agrees with Chen that Yueju needs both preservation and promotion and that it’s important to “make classics popular”. Zhang thinks it is why Yueju Opera becomes popular among the public, especially among young people. 
Zhang always has Yueju playing on a small speaker, whether she is eating or resting. At home, she sings it all the time. She has joined a free, amateur Yueju Opera club in Beijing. Most members are in their 20s. Many have their own jobs and join the club only for their love for the art. They gather every weekend to practice together. 
Zhang dreams to become a skilled amateur Yueju singer. “If one day I could truly make a name for myself in this field and meet the actors I admire on stage, connecting through our art, that would be my greatest happiness,” she said.
