From local roots to global resonance: The living soul of Huangmei Opera

In the 1980s, when televisions were still rare in China, entire neighborhoods would gather around a single 14-inch screen in a public square just to watch Huangmei Opera series. In this episode, Huangmei Opera artist Han Zaifen reflects on how the genre has evolved across different media eras – from classic cinema and early television broadcasts to today's smartphone-driven landscape. Han notes that Huangmei Opera retains a relatable, down-to-earth quality: "It doesn't stand on a high pedestal; it feels like a close friend having a heart-to-heart talk with you." For her, whether performing at home or abroad, true artistic appeal ultimately rests on a simple principle: Culture must connect genuinely with human nature. #HuangmeiOpera #ChineseCulture 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
