"Since I received the invitation of the 2024 CCTV Spring Festival Gala column group in late December last year, I have started to brew, create, and carefully polish according to the requirements of the program, and each rehearsal has been modified, striving to appear in front of the audience in the best state. Jin Buchang said in an interview that he hopes to use the purest way and the most exquisite skills to let everyone feel the charm of Henan Opera culture.
"A Hundred Flowers for Beauty" will create and integrate the classic repertoire of Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Sichuan Opera, Chao Opera, Ping Opera and other dramas.
