The art of taking China to the world
CPPCC members discuss better ways of showcasing and introducing Chinese stage performances to foreign audiences, Fang Aiqing reports.
The Chinese performing arts industry is looking forward to bringing more quality work to the world, experts said during the recent two sessions.
"Since reform and opening-up began in 1978, we have exported art forms such as Peking Opera, folk music and dance. Now I believe it's time to let foreigners experience the beauty of the Chinese language — theater, for example — even if it's through subtitles," says Tian Qinxin, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the National Theatre of China.
"Deeply rooted in China's poetry tradition, Chinese theater is known for its romantic structures, blend of multifaceted spaces, and elegant rhetoric. We have great stories to be appreciated by foreigners," Tian says.
