In a makeshift rehearsal hall in #Yiyang, #Hunan, actors in elaborate costumes of #Huaguxi (flower drum #opera) are producing a #livestream. Since their 1st post on short-vid platform #Douyin in Feb 2022, they've attracted 100,000 followers & 647,000 thumbs-up.

Huaguxi is one of Hunan's #TraditionalArtForms and the troupe have built up an increasing online following with their #classical repertoire, which is based on the #TraditionalTales of filial piety & loyalty.
