I was anxious, sitting outside an operating theatre, worried about the fate of my son who had had a very serious accident. We lived in the remote area, and there was only small hospital nearby. My son was lying unconscious inside and waiting for the only surgeon in the hospital to treat him. For me, every moment seemed longer than a year. Suddenly, a doctor rushed towards the operation room while his assistant handed him a white apron (白大褂). I just could not control my anger, starting shouting at the doctor. “I am shocked to see how casual you can be! My son is lying in the operating theatre for so long and you can only manage to come and see him now?” The doctor stared at me, and, holding his shoulder gently, said, “This is the earliest I could get here. I was not in the hospital. Now, please let me do my work and you take a seat there.”
I became more furious. Although the doctor went inside the theatre, I continued expressing my dissatisfaction. An hour passed. Still the red light outside the operating theatre was on. Three more hours went by; I then began to think of all the frightening things that I might have to hear once the doctor gave him the conclusion.
I looked up and suddenly realized that the light had gone off. The doctor came out of the room, rushing as he handed over his apron to the nurse. Before I could ask him anything, the doctor said, “Your son is safe now. Please talk to the nurse if you need to know anything more. Excuse me.” Before I could ask him anything more, the doctor rushed away.

Students control shadow puppets(皮影木偶) as the singing voice of 71-year-old Liu Aibang echoes(回荡) across the classroom. They use thin straight pieces of wood to make shadow puppets step onto the “stage”—a cloth screen. Those sitting in front of the stage play music on drums, suona horns and other instruments.
This is a Daoqing shadow puppetry class at Longdong University. Except Liu,the other performers of the show are all college students.
Starting in the Han Dynasty, Daoqing shadow puppetry has been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list(国家非物质文化遗产名录) since 2006. For years, shadow plays were welcomed by people of all ages. and were often performed during the festivals. However, with films and TV series becoming popular in the late1980s,many performers moved on to other jobs. Faced with the choice between protecting this art and making a good living, Liu chose to stay on.
One day in 2020, Liu received a phone call from Zhao Zhixue, head of the music school at Longdong University. Zhao told him that the school planned to introduce Daoqing shadow puppetry into college classrooms and develop young students’ long-term interest in intangible cultural heritage. Excited by the news. Liu dropped his farmwork and became a part-time teacher at the college.
