Qiong Opera could be traced back to a century ago in Dingan County in this southern Chinese island, which is referred to as Qiong in abbreviation.

Fresh bloods including Chen Kehan and Lin Fang are also being injected into the Troupe as Qiong Opera regains its popularity in the county. Chen's family has been working for the Troupe for three generations, while Lin started to learn the opera at age of six. Various kinds of activities are also being held at primary and secondary schools i
