A group of 21 students from Chongqing University recently performed on campus in the Peony Garden to promote traditional arts among young people.

The show combined Sichuan Opera with classic dance. Sichuan Opera originated in Southwest China's Sichuan province in about 1700. It's also performed in neighboring Chongqing, and in Southwest China's Guizhou and Yunnan provinces.
