HTTV 2020. A press conference was held at HTTV Chinese Television in Irwindale, California to announce an upcoming cultural event to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. The famous China national drama masters will bring a wonderful Yue Opera costume drama Da Jin Zhi on Saturday, January 11th at the Bonita Center for Arts, 822 W Covina Blvd. Dimas, CA.
Xiaoxing Yang, or “Helena” a famous Yue opera master in Zhoushan, is a disciple of Lu,Yueying, a Chinese Yue opera performing artist, who has shaped different roles in her 30-year artistic career. After coming to the United States, she did not forget to promote the Yue opera culture overseas. She set up US China Yue Opera and Theater organization in 2015 to promote Chinese Yue Opera to the United States as a way to promote Sino-US artistic exchanges and enhance overseas peoples understanding and cooperation of Yue opera and Chinese Culture, Yang Xiaoxing organized a series of charity performances for Yue opera for Chinese Americans.
After meeting Helena and communicating before and at the press conference we became friends finding we had the same passion for cultural exchange and the arts. People say that if you love culture and you will love Chinese Opera. All opera is storytelling and Dr. Mark loves storytelling. Chinese Opera is very much a deep and rich part of China’s Culture.
Helena said that Yue opera is known as Chinese opera, and carrying forward Yue opera culture in the United States is of great significance and responsibility to her. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, she gathered Chinese and American opera artists to present this costume drama “Da Jin Zhi”, a well-known famous drama to the audience in Southern California.
