01:00So when everyone was interested in the musical,
01:04they found out that it was their first time.

02:16The young people are very curious about this kind of way of expression, which is very surprising.
02:28I think objectively it will encourage young people to understand what Cantonese opera is,
02:32what Cantonese opera has to show, and why Cantonese opera can show such a very new style.
02:38I think the most different thing is that it is a fashion show,
02:42and it uses contemporary Chinese history and contemporary Chinese world history to show,
02:49which is different from traditional stories and so on.
