To celebrate the Lantern Festival, a large gala was held on February 25, 2024. More than 10 different types of traditional Chinese operas were shown at the gala and Wei Chunrong played the role of Du Liniang in The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》), the Kunqu Opera work.
Wei Chunrong is a leading actress of Kunqu Opera, one of the oldest traditional Chinese operas with a history of over 600 years. Born in Kunshan, Suzhou, Kunqu Opera is known for smooth body movements, beautiful singing and amazing costumes.
Wei started to learn the ancient art form when she was young and has worked hard in this field for over forty years. Her talent and hard work finally paid off when Kunqu Opera was listed as one of the intangible cultural heritages.
“When our application proved successful, we were all so happy and proud,” she says. “However, I suddenly realized that the success also meant decline and that Kunqu Opera needed protecting.”
Like many traditional Chinese operas, Kunqu Opera faced challenges from new forms of having fun during the 1990s. Fewer and fewer people watched it. Many Kunqu Opera actors were forced to leave the stage(舞台) and work in other fields, such as acting in movies and TV dramas, singing and even running their own businesses. But Wei’s love for Kunqu Opera has never changed. “
To help young actors in Kunqu Opera, Wei now teaches them as her teachers did for her. Offstage, Wei is their friend; onstage, she hopes to bring out the best in them as actors of the art. She hopes they can carry on this great art form.
