Growth is achieved by respect to tradition: Children take a break as they learn Di Opera, a form of folk opera in Anshun, southwest China’s Guizhou province, Aug. 22, 2012. Like the fate of many folk arts in today’s China, 600-year-old Di Opera faces life-or-death challenge because of young people’s declining interest. Fortunately, a village in Anshun launched a project five years ago to train young inheritors of Di Opera during the summer vocation. (Xinhua/Ou Dongqu)
