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. The opera, now deemed a traditional heritage, had once lost its attraction to most youngsters due to the impacts of pop culture until recent years when the Dingan County Qiong Opera Troupe managed to reinvent it by drawing inspiration from other schools of traditional opera as well as folklore stories. Fresh bloods including Chen Kehan and Lin Fang are also being injected into the Troupe as Qiong Opera regains its popularity in the county.
