2023 Traditional Music, Singing & Dancing Show, Chinese Floralia at Filoli Garden

Broken Vows is a popular Chinese song in recent years. It incorporates Beijing opera and tells a heartbreaking story. The story is about a man who left his childhood sweetheart for the capital city to take the imperial exam and pursue his dreams. However, after he became a high-status official, he married a wealthy girl. At his wedding, he didn't recognize that the actress on stage was the girl that he made promises to. Pan Yu'er, our dancer today, is a professional Cantonese opera artist who started performing at the age of four. Yan Jieyu, our singer, is the co-founder of the Northern California Huntsman Association and a journalist at the CINOVISION.net. Let's give them a round of applause. In my childhood, I didn't know what happiness and sadness were. I met a beautiful woman, and I would like to say goodbye to her. I don't know what happiness is, but I'm willing to give my heart to her. She will make my dreams come true. She is like a piece of paper, a piece of cloth, and a piece of stone. The word happiness is only worth a thousand words. I have no idea what happiness is. She sings and dances, and we meet out of nowhere. Thank you again to Jieyu in the U.S. In the U.S., the best-known Chinese dance is probably the Dragon or the Lion Dance, but there is another type called Folk Dance. Folk Dance has a very long history and was recorded as early as the Zhou Dynasty. Next, please enjoy the dance Flowing Light. In February, the flower is African Blossom. And Yang Yihuan, one of the legendary four beauties of ancient China, is usually recognized as the goddess of the African Blossom. Sorry guys, one second. Alright, with the next dance, we'll follow the journey of the secret love affair of a young couple. First of all, the fluid fan movement will paint the picture of the gentle warming for each other, like waves caressing the soft sands of on a spring day. Please enjoy. The secret love affair of a young couple Thank you all again today for coming here and joining us to celebrate the Spring Flower Festival.
