Inheriting Endangered Drama: 51 Post-00s Performed 1000 Free Tickets in 10 Years
2023-07-10
Li Yazhi, a girl born after 00 in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, is an actress of the Han Opera, a rare local drama. Recently, she has become a sensation in the industry due to her dramatic cross dressing videos, which have also made the endangered genre of "Han Opera" more widely seen. It is reported that 51 post-00s, including Li Yazhi, have insisted on setting up their own stage in the local area for 10 years without collecting tickets, and have performed more than 1000 times for the benefit of the people. According to the interview of Ziniu News reporter of Yangtse Evening Post, in order to inherit the Han Opera experience and make more people like this art, this group of young people not only seriously learn from old artists, but also use their expertise to carry out online performances. Li Yazhi said that although the Han Opera has not shed the label of "endangered", after several years of effort, it is clear that there is an increasing number of young audiences. "As long as we succeed in our careers, we don't have to worry about inheritance and development." 23 year old Li Yazhi, who moved local plays into the live broadcast room after the 00s, is busy rehearsing and performing, but every Friday and Saturday evening, she meets with the audience in the live broadcast room. At 8:30 pm on July 7th, Li Yazhi appeared in the live broadcast room on time and asked the audience to order the song. The audience kept pouring in to praise, send gifts and leave messages, and Li Yazhi responded one by one with thanks. Then she began to sing: "The pain in the abdomen is unbearable, and there is no place to cast her eyes everywhere. The heart of the broken bridge is sad, and she helps the young sister to the bridge head". This is an excerpt from Qin Opera's "Broken Bridge". After singing, she also explained why she played faster when singing "unbearable abdominal pain", mainly to exaggerate Bai Suzhen's emotions about to give birth. An audience asked Li Yazhi, "What profession is her main focus?" She replied that Han Opera, like other traditional Chinese operas, is divided into Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Chou. She focuses on Wu Dan. Subsequently, Li Yazhi sang "Madame Cheng Causing Chaos" again. Her colleague Yihan competed with Li Yazhi through a live streaming connection. At the request of the audience, Yi Han also sang a segment of "Madame Cheng Causing Chaos", and the audience gave different evaluations, making the live broadcast room very lively. Li Yazhi said that among their colleagues born in the 2000s, six or seven of them have opened live broadcasts. Although the content and style of the live broadcasts are different, mutual support can bring popularity. It is reported that the Han Opera Troupe was included in the first batch of national Intangible cultural heritage list in 2006. At that time, the only opera troupe was in Nanzheng County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and had recruited a group of actors in 1986. However, due to the lack of local cultural consumption concepts, the actor's income is low, and eventually they are lost. In 2013, the Nanzheng County Party Committee and County Government decided to recruit 60 new students to supplement the cast. After 3 years of training, 60 students were sent to Shaanxi Vocational College of Art, of which more than 50 were ultimately retained, and Li Yazhi was one of them. Zhao Hong, director of the Inheritance and Development Center of Handiao Opera, told Ziniu News that Handiao Opera is a bangzi tune formed by the introduction of Guanzhong Qin Opera Opera into Hanzhong and its combination with local dialects and Folk music. The music, including singing and accompaniment, is one of the traditional Chinese operas. The Han Opera not only retains the characteristics of Qin Opera, but also absorbs the advantages of melodious and euphemistic local music in southern Shaanxi, which has unique artistic charm of Han Opera. After three years of hard training, Li Yazhi took the stage and even the foot wash turned red. Li Yazhi's father was a social worker and her mother was an ordinary company employee. 2013
