After decades of ups and downs, Jin Buhuan, deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, says that Yuju Opera is gaining in vitality and has a big role to play in promoting cultural tourism.
Jin, a Yuju Opera performer himself, and director of a Yuju Opera research institute in Hebi, Henan province, has been involved in the art for more than four decades. Even at 57, he continues to give 300 public performances a year.
As a form of traditional opera popular in Henan, Hebei and Shandong provinces, Yuju Opera is known for its richness, delicacy and a strong rural flavor. Jin knows precisely that the soil in which Yuju Opera grows is in the grassroots.
