Huangmei Opera is a national-level form of intangible cultural heritage in China. The secret of its development in the new era lies in the combination of tradition and innovative ideas. In recent years, Anhui Huangmei Opera Theatre has produced a number of modern-themed Huangmei Operas inspired by contemporary events, such as the fight against corruption and rural revitalization. Yuan Yuan, a performer of China's traditional Huangmei Opera, was presented with the Plum Performance Award in May. She wishes to continue promoting and publicizing the fine traditional Chinese culture by portraying more characters who are resilient, amiable and of high moral character.
