Former village secretary is one of many to perform and enjoy nighty shows

Harvested black glutinous rice fields, neat asphalt roads, and lively puppet show training bases demonstrate how with the guidance of culture, rural revitalization in Heinitang has been comprehensively promoted.

"In the past, no one wanted to come to Heinitang, because the roads were inconvenient and there were no entertainment facilities. Since the establishment of the training base, many young people from neighboring villages have come here with their parents to watch the puppet show, and the village has become very lively." Zhao Ruxiang, a former secretary of Heinitang Village. A member of the single-person puppet show training base for intangible cultural heritage, Zhao now teaches puppet shows at the base during the day and performs for the masses with other artists at night.

The single-person puppet show in Heinitang Village has a history of nearly 200 years and is a local intangible cultural heritage. In the past two years, while promoting the improvement of the living environment, Heinitang Village has activated its unique traditional culture and built a single-person puppet show training base, which has not only enriched the spiritual lives of villagers, but also injected cultural momentum into the rural vitalization.
