As the powerful singing voice of 73-year-old Liu Aibang rings across the classroom,
students control shadow puppets, making them step onto the “stage”—a cloth screen lit
from behind.
This is a Daoqing shadow puppetry class at Longdong University. Besides Liu, the other 30 performers of the show are all students around the age of 20. Liu has been performing the art for over 60 years. The farmer began learning it when he was 14. Over the past years, he has learned special skills such as folk singing and the ability to play different musical instruments.
First appearing in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing shadow puppetry was welcomed by people of all ages. However, with the appearance of films and TV series, the art was losing its shine and many performers moved on to other jobs. As more young people left the villages, Liu faced the problem of finding people to whom he could pass on the art.
The turnaround came in 2020 when he received a phone call from Longdong University. ▲ Liu became a part-time teacher there.
One of Liu's favourite students is Zhang Liang, who has become the main puppeteer of the show after two years of training. A shadow puppet show named The First Shot in Longyuan, which was performed by Zhang and her classmates, won an art award in 2021.
Liu expects to train more young people in the field. “Just as true love is not a one-man show, carrying forward the traditional art requires the old and young generations to work together,” he says.
()4. What can we know about Daoqing shadow puppetry?
A. It has a long history.
B. It's been well received by people of all ages.
C. It often needs 30 puppeteers to perform together.
D. Every performer must have the ability to play different musical instruments.
()5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The problem Liu faced.
B. The learning experiences of Liu.
C. The history of shadow puppetry.
D. The culture of shadow puppetry.
()6. Which of the following can be put into “▲”?
A. Liu was asked to take part in a national competition.
B. Students in that university didn't know Liu Aibang at first.
C. The school was going to introduce Daoqing shadow puppetry into classrooms.
D. More films and TV series about shadow puppetry were introduced to the market.
()7. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Liu began to learn different musical instruments over 60 years ago.
B. Performers can only get on the stage when Liu begins singing loudly.
C. Liu once gave up being a puppeteer because it was just a one-man show.
D. Liu hopes people can work together to guard and further develop the folk art.
