"I've been doing Xianzi for decades, but this is the first time I've ever danced with so many people," he says.

"Our traditional culture has made a comeback."

Changdren, deputy director of the county's cultural bureau, says Xianzi is the pearl in the resplendent crown of art in Markham.

"There is a folk belief that Xianzi brings happiness that never ends," says Changdren, noting that it can be performed anywhere and the number of dancers does not matter.
