Mr. Lu just mentioned when introducing the cultural performance that the younger generation of artists will be the main performer. Could you provide more details on this and explain the considerations behind this arrangement? Thank you.

Lu Yingchuan:

Thank you for your interest. For this cultural gala, we have, for the first time, appointed a young artist born in the 1980s as the chief director, and a large number of young choreographers born in the 1990s are also involved in the creation and execution of this arrangement. Although these creators are young, most of them have excellent works in the field of stage art and already deeply appreciated by their respective audiences. During the creation and rehearsal process of the gala, these young artists explored new ideas in deepening artistic forms and integrating artistic forms, making the gala both artistically enjoyable and emotionally impactful.

In terms of performers, this gala mainly features young actors from performing arts troupes and students from art schools. Actors born after 2000 account for more than 50% of the participants. Participating in such a high-level literary and artistic performance is both an opportunity for the younger generation to showcase their talents, but also serve as an important practice. Many participants have commented that through participating in the rehearsals, they not only gained valuable artistic improvement, but also experienced a profound patriotic education.

During the rehearsal process, these young artists used more diverse artistic expressions, more dynamic stage installations, and richer emotional power. They wholeheartedly and purposefully strove for perfection, forging traditional art and modern expression together. I can say that, based on the performance's final presentation, the performance is very much something worth looking forward to. Thank you.
