戏曲里的家国之光

News Summary:
On January 25, the Da Wu Kou district of Shizuishan City, Ningxia, held the second Chinese‑opera exhibition and the 2026 Spring Festival Gala special featuring Peking opera and Henan opera at Wanda Plaza. More than ten classic and newly created pieces from both traditions were performed on the same stage. The vivid characters and melodious singing drew the audience’s attention and showed the emotional power and aesthetic depth of traditional art.

The program included well‑known traditional excerpts such as “Rolling the Mat,” “Farewell My Concubine – Advising the King,” and “Lady Mazu’s Longevity Offering,” as well as works like “Red Lantern,” “Mu Guiying Takes Command,” and “Mulan” that express love for family, country, and the spirit of the times. The organizers said they will continue to put people first, planning more cultural activities for the public so that this treasured art form can both endure and innovate in the new era.

Reflection and Inspiration:
Chinese opera is not a distant museum exhibit; it lives in neighborhoods and holiday celebrations, ready to be sung and enjoyed in everyday life. Passing a play or a melodic phrase to the next generation requires more than a stage—it needs patient community guardianship and daily participation. As the saying goes, doing everything wholeheartedly and doing our best is the foundation for preserving beauty.

A little more watchfulness, mutual help, and diligent work in everyday life—whether you are a teacher passing on vocal techniques or a listener sitting in the audience with an attentive heart—are the forces that keep this tradition alive. May we each do our best in our own roles, allowing culture and good deeds to flow naturally through ordinary days.

Scripture: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for people.” Colossians 3:23
