"encore dunhuang" and "encore malacca" directed by director wang chaoge took the stage at the "belt and road" and connected with “national feelings”. director fan yue’s "zhiyin hao" has become a name card for the city of wuhan to express hometown feeling. impression wonders is rooted in the historic culture of china and leaves its audience deeply touched. its annual number of audience members exceeds 5.3 million, and its annual ticket revenue reaches about 1.1 billion yuan. it has become an important medium for "telling chinese stories well, displaying cultural charm, and boosting economic development".
