With a history of 160 years, Peking Opera is the quintessence of China. It integrates music, literature, history, art and singing.

Ke Huizi graduated from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts. She started practicing opera since she was nine years old and has more than 10 years of experience on stage.

She mainly plays the female character Qingyi, who usually represents strong-minded middle-aged women who behave elegantly.

"A Fairy Maiden Scatters Flowers" is a classic Beijing Opera, featuring a form of dance by the greatest opera master Mei Lanfang. It's appreciated for its gentle but powerful sleeve movements.

There are many kinds of makeup styles in Peking Opera. The style of "ancient headdress" shows elegance and classical beauty. The decorations are all made by professional crafters.

As a young opera performer, Ke is willing to contribute herself to the development and promotion of Peking Opera.
