Sichuan opera is a great cultural heritage of Sichuan area, Chengdu in particular, which was acclaimed “the finest opera under heaven” as early as Tang Dynasty over a thousand years ago, and was listed in the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritages. As a recruiter of opera performers, I have been witnessing the decline of Sichuan opera. In the hope of helping revitalizing this cultural heritage, I photographed some of my colleagues performing Sichuan opera in full costume for the last time.
