OPERA troupes of various kinds usually play an important role during traditional Chinese holidays, adding color to the festivities. I am with such a troupe and give performances either in parks or at temple fairs during Spring Festivals and the Double Ninth Festivals, or sometimes, even in the street if there is a celebration. I am a retired worker. I do not give performances for money, but for fun and love—love for Hebei local opera, an art that I started to learn during my early teens.
