Yeshe Samdrup drinks tea in Doilungdeqen District in Lhasa, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, March 13, 2024. Yeshe Samdrup was born in 1936. When he recalls his childhood memories, he remembers the experience as he collected the dry dung fuel for the serf owner and got only a little bit of food as payment.(Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)

It was almost impossible to have meat as food at that time. "As the serf owner throw some bones, we have to fight with dogs for the marrow inside the bones," according to Yeshe, "we work as men at daytime and guard the house as dogs at nighttime."

In March 1959, people in Xizang launched the democratic reform that ended the region's feudal serfdom. This changed Yeshe's life from living like a "talking animal" to being a real human.

Thanks to the democratic reform, a total of two hectares of land, together with the house, cattle and sheep, were assigned to Yeshe's family. Today, there are 30 members of four generations in Yeshe's family. Yeshe has so many grandchildren that he could hardly recognize them all. Yeshe no longer worries about food and clothing, as his life condition has never been better.

"People in the village say that our hometown would be built as great as the city of Lhasa." Yeshe is very optimistic about the future. (Photos by Xinhua/Jigme Dorje)

Wu Lingyun (L) interacts with the audience during a performance in Yingze District of Taiyuan, north China's Shanxi Province, Feb. 2, 2024. Jin Opera, originated in the central area of Shanxi Province, is a representative genre of opera in Shanxi. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

Wu Lingyun, a representative inheritor of Jin Opera, was born in a family of Jin Opera actors and entered the opera troupe at the age of 12. In 1985, when he was 21, Wu started to play the role of Guan Yu, an ancient general known for his loyalty and bravery in battles and widely revered by the Chinese. In order to play the role well, Wu went through books on the history of Three Kingdoms period (220-280 A.D.) of China, learned from experienced actors and other genres of Chinese operas, and drew inspirations from sculpture, painting, shadow play and other art forms. After years of accumulation, the role of Guan Yu has become Wu Lingyun's representative performance.

Decades of stage career have left unique marks on Wu's face. Wrinkles extend to his forehead and sideburns for he wears the head ornaments for a long time which pulls his facial skin.

At the age of retirement, he still feels the heavy responsibility of inheriting and promoting this excellent traditional culture. "I would love to keep on performing as long as the audience applaud," Wu said. (All photos by Xinhua/Yang Chenguang)
