Actress He Nina rehearses in Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, April 25, 2019. Born in a family dedicated to Qinqiang opera, a folk Chinese opera in northwest China, 33-year-old actress He Nina played the role of a young woman in the opera at a Qinqiang opera troupe in Urumqi since 2005. Beyond theaters, He Nina and her colleagues performed the opera in communities and schools to promote traditional Chinese opera culture. Performing classic works of Qinqiang opera should be tailored to modern times as a way to gain popularity in the market, said He. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu)
