A land nurtures its people according to its natural environment. In China, every part of the land inspires an operatic tradition, distinctive to its region.
Sichuan Opera, prevailed in its home province for centuries, giving voice to the values and cultural essence of the people.
Shen Tiemei, one of today's most accomplished Sichuan opera performers, sees an inseparable connection between opera, her identity and the identity of the people of Sichuan.
Sichuan Opera artist Shen Tiemei said, "Sichuan Opera links to the entire province of Sichuan. The quality of Sichuan people was most evidently exposed after this year's Wenchuan earthquake. The people showed the world their solidarity, bravery, optimism and humor even though faced with disaster. These qualities are embodied and reflected in the classic works of Sichuan Opera."
