Lion dance roars with shared values

KUALA LUMPUR — The powerful people-to-people bonds between China and Malaysia take many expressions considering the range of shared cultural and traditional values between the two nations.

The Malay people have taken great interest in the lion dance, a tradition that emerged over a thousand years ago in China and has many admirers in modern Malaysia.

Among them is Adzwin Puteri Faizal, a petite young woman from Rawang in Selangor state, who is part of a troupe under the locally renowned Yong Jun Lion Dance Association.
