Liang Huimin, Director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government, delivered a speech stating that culture is a bridge of the soul, and drama, with its unique charm, moves people's hearts and promotes understanding. We hope to deepen cultural exchanges between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau through this event, promote the prosperity of theatrical arts, and at the same time, use this opportunity to attract more high-quality cultural exchange projects to settle in Macau, allowing excellent traditional Chinese culture to flourish through Macau. As the main venue, Macau presented the Sino French co created stage play "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", play "Bass Cello", musical play "Cat God in the Forbidden City", and Macau play "Bridge Principle" with the theme of "Cultural Translation". It is reported that this year's Drama Culture Festival has introduced multiple excellent plays from Hong Kong and Macau for the first time.
