The Peach Blossom Fan, an adaptation of one of the most famous plays by Feng Menglong, a well-known Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) writer, was staged by the Jiangsu Performing Arts Group in Beijing on Thursday.



It premiered in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, in October 2023. A contemporary opera production, The Peach Blossom Fan follows the story of the tumultuous love between Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu and features the main theme of "separation, reunion, rise, and fall", blending elements of Kunqu Opera, pingtan, and folk songs.

Ren Wei makes an embroidery work at her studio in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, March 14, 2025.

Han embroidery, a traditional embroidery having a history of over 2,000 years, was listed as one of the national intangible cultural heritages in 2008. Famous for its rough stitching, rich colors and bold patterns, it often outlines the embroidery patterns with gold or silver lines, offering a magnificent visual impact.

Ren Wei, born into a Han embroidery family, is a representative inheritor of the art. Since she was 14 years old, Ren had been working at her father's studio and learnt the skills from him. In order to better pass down the craft, Ren and her father have spent dozens of years collecting and restoring the traditional patterns by visiting numerous archives and folk artists. For her, the art should be integrated with modern life instead of only staying in the museums.

Since 2014, Ren has opened free Han embroidery classes for about one hundred students at a school for deaf-mutes in Wuhan. In 2015, she cooperated with designer Zhao Huizhou to combine Han embroidery with modern fashion designs. Their artworks have been staged at the Milan Fashion Week. With the support of the local government, she has also designed many cultural and creative products, opened campus classes, and built digital exhibition halls.



Nowadays, her daughter has also joined her in the inheritance of the craft. Wang Weijia, daughter of Ren Wei, exchanges with a Han embroidery enthusiast at a park near Ren Wei's studio in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, March 19, 2025.mmm

"Although AI technology and 3D printing techniques have impacted on our handwork industry," said Ren Wei, "they can't express the emotions and spirits of Han Embroidery." She hopes more people can join them to embroider a better future for the art. (Photos by Xinhua/Du Zixuan)

Zhang Wanxin (1st R) instructs children of the Cicida Orchestra during a rehearsal at Xingge Live House in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, March 30, 2025.

The Cicida Orchestra in Chengdu is composed of children with autism and other developmental conditions.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by varying degrees of impairment in communication skills and social interactions. Children with autism are sometimes called "children of the stars" in China as they are often perceived as lonely and can have unconventional emotional reactions, language abilities or social skills.

Guided by Zhang Wanxin, a dedicated "post-95" music mentor, children in the orchestra have learned to play instruments and coordinate with each other in performance through unwavering commitment and persistent efforts. Music helps unlock children's mind and potential, and their cognitive abilities and behaviors have shown improvement with the therapy of music.

For Zhang, every child in the orchestra deserves "highlight moments" in life. Children bask in spotlight and applause when they perform on stage, which is a profound affirmation for both these young performers and their parents. The orchestra now rehearses twice a week at Xingge Live House and performs almost every weekend near Tianfu Square in downtown Chengdu.

In Zhang's mind, the relationship with her students is a bond of mutual growth. While helping children find their light, she also discovered her own value and direction. (Xinhua/Shen Bohan)
