On the morning of February 10 (local time), audiences watched the 8-minute promotional video of Jinzi on this festival. Art practitioners and performance & film distributors showed great interests in the stage art manifestation patterns of Chinese operas. Coming from around the world, they were also interested in the performance of Shen Tiemei, the player of Jinzi. Its image description is also attractive.
