In Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP) Haiyue No.1 Residential Community, there is a club "Chunqiu Peking Opera Troupe" which has a history of just over one year. All the members are enthusiastic fans of Peking Opera.

 

Ling Jinhua, the vice director of the 30-member troupe, is one of the first members of the troupe. "We named the troupe 'Chunqiu' because one work of Peking Opera is called Chunqiu Pavilion, and in Chinese, 'Chunqiu' also means beauty in spring and harvest in autumn."

On stage, the amateurs took meticulous care of every sentence uttered and movement acted. Their costumes, stage properties were also well prepared.

   

Since the beginning of this year, with increasing popularity among the residents, a Peking Opera training course has been launched for the elders, attracting more residents to join in.
