Express a wonderful life with Yu opera

During his studies at Henan University International Chinese College, Liu Yanjing actively participated in various cultural activities. Once, he and his classmates studied the Henan drama "Mulan" at the Henan Theater in Kaifeng. The exquisite costumes and moving stories in the play deeply moved Liu Yanjing. After the event, he took the initiative to find the teacher of the Henan Theater, hoping to learn Yu opera.

By chance, Liu Yanjing met Liu Zijie, a Chinese guy who had studied Yu Drama for many years. Every week, he took time to learn about Yu Zi at Liu Zijie's house. "Zijie will explain to me the classic selection segments in Yu drama. When encountering some difficult words, he will also explain in combination with historical allusions to help me understand."

Through Liu Zijie's introduction, Liu Yanjing also worshiped his teacher as a teacher.

"Mu Guiying Hanging" and "Da Deng Hall" ... When talking about Yu opera, Liu Yanjing is like a few treasures. He believes that the essence of Yu opera is not only manifested in a trick of performers on the stage, but also in a unique singing. In the process of learning Yu opera, his emotions often follow the story of the story. "The story in the play not only gives me a better understanding of society and human nature, but also allows me to reflect on my behavior in real life."

In the past five years, Liu Yanjing has met many friends because of his studies. Outside the school, he and his teachers and classmates who liked Yu opera participated in the performances everywhere. For him, every moment after the relationship with Yu opera is precious.

Learning Chinese is the foundation

The birth of Yu opera and flourishing in Henan not only carries rich regional culture, but also reflects the profoundness of Chinese culture. Liu Yanjing said that if he wants to learn Henan dramas, he cannot do without Chinese learning.

The Chinese learning method he mostly uses is "listening to textbooks". In order to "keep fresh" for his sense of Chinese, he maintains the habit of listening to the supporting recording of "Development Chinese" published by Beijing Language University Press every day. Essence In Liu Yanjing's view, improving the level of hearing level is essential for language learning. In the process of Chinese learning, listening to it can enrich its own vocabulary, and it can also improve the level of Chinese spoken Chinese by imitating pronunciation.

In addition to his course he took, Liu Yanjing also went to the School of News and Communication to "classes" to learn some Chinese pronunciation skills and reading tricks. With the improvement of the Chinese level, in the performance of Yu opera, he bit his words more and more clearly, and his understanding of the content of the repertoire was more in place.

Summarizing his own Chinese learning experience, Liu Yanjing believes that there are three steps -learning Chinese pinyin, doing more listening exercises, and bravely communicating with Chinese. The most important thing is to do without the practice and consolidation of day and day.

For the future, Liu Yanjing can be sure that he will continue to go on the road to learning Yu opera. "Learning Chinese and Yu Drama, these two things are what I like most at present. Pay hard and sweat for the career I love, and persist in the end, I feel happy and satisfied." Liu Yanjing said. (Source: "People's Daily Overseas Edition")
