Kunqu, or Kun Opera, boasting its 600 years of history, recently gave a refreshing appearance in Nanjing's subway.
The campaign, titled "The Grreat Beauty of Kunqu sees its entry and play in the Subway" [Chia-fu signs at the inherent loss of meaning and beauty in translation], is a joint venture by Nanjing metro authority and Kun Opera Theater Performing Arts Group. Its primary purpose, according to the organizer, is among a series effort to revive and promote the ancient form of art among young and old citizens alike.
