戏曲少女王语萱以清音雅韵，为诸君开启戏曲之门。初以《牡丹亭》"姹紫嫣红"示文辞之隽永，继以《锁麟囊》道尽人世沧桑；更携《穆桂英挂帅》展金戈铁马之概。其间邀众同习云手兰花，体味"不到园林，怎知春色如许"之妙境。 Alisa Wang, a grade 10 student at Hiba Academy Shanghai, is a core member of the Hiba Mountaineers' Heritage Space and Chinese Opera Troupe. She has studied piano, erhu, and tea art from a young age. In 2022, she reached the national finals and won third prize for erhu at the Shanghai International Music Festival. In 2023, she performed ‘The Thirteen Grand Masters of Peking Opera’ at the China Shanghai International Arts Festival.Alisa’s journey into traditional culture, especially Peking Opera and crosstalk, has given her a deep respect for the dedication behind these arts and a sense of responsibility to preserve them. Exploring the balance between tradition and modernity, she asks: "Must tradition and modernity be at odds?" and "What’s it like to stand at the intersection of heritage and innovation?" After her talk, you may want to give these ancient art forms a chance. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
