"The rise in people's incomes was important. More people now appreciate traditional art forms like the Sichuan Opera," said Wei.
To promote Sichuan Opera, Chen, who is executive vice-president of the theatre, started giving performances in institutions of higher learning in 2004.
Chen and her colleagues performed at Peking University in 2008.
"All the 1,000-plus seats were occupied. After the performance, students avidly discussed the play with the performers," said Sun Puxie, a co-performer.
Chen and her colleagues perform at universities and colleges from March to June each year to make sure younger people have an understanding of the art form.
