On the evening of September 24th, the Tang Xianzu Drama Festival & International Drama Exchange Month saw a grand opening in the city of Fuzhou, Jinagxi province, which was organized by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, China Dramatists Association?and?Jiangxi Provincial People's Government. Wang Zhengwei, vice chairman of the CPPCC, Yao Zengke, deputy secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the CPC, Hu Sishe, vice president of the CPAFFC, Gu Liqun, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Dramatists Association, Xiao Yi, secretary of the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee, Gahru, Minister Counselor of the Spanish Embassy to China?and?Karen Maddocks, British Consul General in Guangzhou attended the opening ceremony. Besides, British ambassador to China Barbara Woodward sent a special video address. Abdullah Miguel, Ambassador of the Republic of Djibouti to China, Consul Generals of Singapore, Thailand?and?Philippines in Xiamen, delegations of foreign sister cities from Shakespeare's hometown of British Stratford District, Cervantes' hometown of Arkara city in Spain?and?Lusaka Province in Zambia as well as Chinese?and?foreign scholars engaged in the study of Tang Xianzu, Shakespeare?and?Cervantes. Representatives of social organizations?and?delegates from all walks of life also attended the opening ceremony. ?Wang Zhengwei, vice chairman of the CPPCC, remarked that Tang Xianzu is a great litterateur, dramatist?and?thinker in the Ming Dynasty, whose representative works are collectively known as the "Four Dreams of Linchuan", including The Peony Pavilion, The Purple Hairpin, Nanke Dream?and?Handan Dream. Particularly, The Peony Pavilion plays an overriding role in the history of Chinese?and?world literature. The “Four Dreams of Linchuan” is the mainstay of its era?and?a milestone with far-reaching implications on the development of the Chinese theatrical art,?and?it is thus hailed as a classic in China's theatrical?and?literary history. Four centuries later today, the artistic charm of Tang Xianzu's plays is still able to transcend time?and?nourish our souls. With the increasingly frequent?and?depended international cultural exchanges, Tang Xianzu's theatrical artistic achievements have evolved into a "common culture", shared by the whole world. The reason why we held such events to celebrate the Tang Xianzu Drama Festival & International Drama Exchange Month in Fuzhou?and?invited Chinese?and?foreign theatrical artists from around the world to convene here is that we not only pay a tribute to the classic theatrical master Tang Xianzu?and?his "Four Dreams of Linchuan", but also built a favorable platform for the exchanges between Chinese?and?foreign theatrical cultures. Hu Sishe, vice president of the CPAFFC, noted in his speech that in 2014, President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the College of Europe?and?proposed to build a bridge of common prosperity among civilizations, in an effort to connect the two great civilizations of China?and?Europe?and?let the flowers of varying human civilizations bloom. On October 21, 2015, President Xi Jinping delivered another speech at the City Hall of London Corporation, saying that Tang Xianzu?and?Shakespeare were contemporaries?and?both died in 1616; next year would mark the 400th anniversary of their deaths, so China?and?Britain could jointly commemorate these two literary giants, in order to promote exchanges between our two peoples?and?deepen mutual understanding. To that end, in April 2016, the CPAFFC?and?the Jiangxi Provincial People's Government successfully held a symposium themed "Jointly Commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the Death of Shakespeare?and?Tang Xianzu" in the UK, bringing these two masters together through "time?and?space". In September of the same year, they also jointly organized such an event "Jointly Commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the Death of Tang Xianzu, Shakespeare?and?Cervantes", which stirred up vehement social repercussions?and?was the first time to commemorate such three world literary masters together. It is of great significance for us today to gather here again in Fuzhou?and?celebrate the Tang Xianzu Drama Festival & International Drama Exchange Month; together we rambled?and?enjoy ourselves in Tang Xianzu's "Four Dreams of Linchuan", sapping the distinctive glamor of Chinese theatrical cultures. Ambassador Barbara Woodward said in her video address that when President Xi Jinping paid a historic visit to the UK in late October 2015, the leaders of the two countries reached a consensus, thus ushering in the golden age for the China-British relations. It was in this visit that President Xi Jinping proposed Britain?and?China jointly commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of Tang Xianzu?and?Shakespeare, two world literary giants. In 2016, our two countries hosted a host of commemorative events in Fuzhou, Shanghai, Stratford?and?among other cities, which further propelled the exchanges between our two peoples?and?deepened our mutual understanding. I wish this year's events themed Chinese?and?foreign theatrical exchanges a complete success! With the conclusion of the opening ceremony, grand theatrical performances?and?interactive parades were held, with tens of thousands of audiences actively participating, which was spectacular. More than 20 state media outlets, over 30 foreign ones?and?20 more provincial ones made their reports. The most mesmerizing?and?phenomenal performances were live broadcast to audiences both at home?and?abroad via ten media such as the People Live, Xinhua News Agency Live Cloud, Phoenix News?and?Today's Headlines?and?other live streaming platforms. ? ? ? The event was hosted by the Fuzhou Municipal People's Government, the Jiangxi Provincial Cultural Department, the Jiangxi Provincial Foreign Affairs?and?Overseas Chinese Affairs Office?and?the Jiangxi Dramatists Association, which would last until the mid-to-end of November. The event mainly included: Tang Xianzu Drama Festival & International Drama Exchange Month?and?Drama Fiesta , The 2nd International Forum on Cultural Heritage?and?Innovation, International Theatrical Exchanges?and?Performances (UK TNT Troupe, the National Theatre of Albania, Japan Shiki Theater Company?and?other nine foreign troupes as well as China National Peking Opera Company, Zhejiang Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe, Jiangxi Gan Opera Theater?and?other ten domestic theaters), serial public cultural activities (Recitation Competition of Tang Xianzu's Poetry, Opera Broadcast Gymnastics Competition, Dramas into Schools, Shows Themed Fuzhou's Intangible Cultural Heritages, Competitions of Classic Arias in Tang Xianzu's Operas?and?Selection the Most Beautiful Du Liniang?and?Liu Mengmei among public cultural events), all of which aimed to bolster cultural exchanges between China?and?foreign countries, make the Chinese story?and?our friendly voices well heard across the world.
