It sounds like a Chinese-style musical, she added. It makes the storyline with its pursuit of love, kindness and beauty even more touching," Jiang, who was exposed to the genre for the first time, told Beijing Review. The music and opera singing are so elegant, quite different from my imagination. "I never thought Cantonese Opera could be so emotive. The adapted love legend is China's first traditional opera movie supported by 4K technology. Originating in Guangdong Province, Yueju Opera combines elements of martial arts, acrobatics, singing and dancing, and was included on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List back in 2009. Aside from the multiple scenes starring traditional Chinese ink painting and stunning special effects, what stood out the most to this mega fan was the incorporation of Yueju Opera, more commonly known as Cantonese Opera, a popular local opera in south China with a history of about 500 years. This time around, the all too familiar legend came to her from a new and fresh perspective. Recently, Jiang watched a movie based on the very same storyline called White Snake, released on May 20. Raised by her grandmother, a fan of the drama, in Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, this 29-year-old accountant, has watched the series so many times that she can recall almost every single detail of every single episode. Nevertheless, demons and humans are not supposed to develop such relationships, so their connection from the start faces many a challenge. The traditional tale tells the story of a female white snake spirit who dreams of transforming into a goddess by doing good deeds and ends up falling in love with a human. The classic TV series based on a Chinese folktale is in fact the same age as Jiang, having premiered in 1992. Jiang Li's fondest childhood memory brims with images of The Legend of the White Snake.
