Chen Chunyan: 'Liusanjie of New Generation' Sings for New Era
ByXie Lin October 21, 2023
Songs performed by Liusanjie ("Third Sister Liu"), a legendary woman folk singer of the Zhuang ethnic group, have been among the memories of several generations of Chinese.
Chen Chunyan, a national, first-class performer and a delegate to the 13th National Women's Congress of China, and who is from South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, has been dubbed "Liusanjie of the new generation."
Chen began learning to sing when she was 9. She has performed folk songs during the Nanning International Folk Song Arts Festival for several years since 2002. She sang about the beauty of Guangxi in 2010 during the Spring Festival gala on China Central Television. Her performances helped viewers learn about the charms of the rich ethnic cultures in Guangxi.
Chen often draws inspiration from the lives of ordinary people. As head of Nanning (capital of Guangxi) Mass Art Center, she has led a team of volunteers in organizing various cultural activities in rural areas.
Chen feels honored to be elected a delegate to the national women's congress. She says she will use innovative methods to promote traditional ethnic arts. She vows to create more cultural products for women and children.
