However, cross-dressing is still rarely practiced by artists because it can have negative effects and be seen as perverted. But the merits of this art form are undeniable; it is a derivative and inheritance of classical Chinese art.

Chen Yu had never been exposed to traditional opera before; traditional opera is something that older generations enjoy.

However, it must be said that Chinese opera is truly remarkable. It originated from the folk and is mainly composed of three different art forms: folk song and dance, storytelling, and comic plays.

Originating from primitive song and dance, it is a comprehensive stage art form with a long history. It took the Han, Tang, Song, and Jin dynasties to form a relatively complete opera art. It is a combination of literature, music, dance, fine arts, martial arts, acrobatics, and performing arts, and has about 360 varieties.

Its characteristic is that it brings together a variety of art forms according to a standard, allowing each of them to express its individuality within a shared nature.

Most importantly, Chinese opera, along with Greek tragedy and comedy and Indian Sanskrit drama, is known as one of the three ancient theatrical cultures in the world. Through long-term development and evolution, it has gradually formed a garden of Chinese opera with five major opera genres as its core: Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, Pingju Opera, and Henan Opera.

Therefore, traditional opera is very difficult to learn. Many people start learning it from a young age, and traditional opera generally has a defined role.

However, very few people study traditional opera nowadays, and even the children of older generations of opera performers rarely delve into learning and carrying on this culture.

The main reason is actually the invasion of Western culture; there's something called trends or fashion.

There is something called orderliness, and traditional Chinese opera places great emphasis on orderliness. It is very cool to learn, and it does not allow for the expression of one's own personality, so fewer people are learning traditional Chinese opera, and of course, fewer people like it.

The biggest reason is that the world is becoming increasingly superficial and restless.

Comprehensiveness, virtuality, and stylization are the main artistic characteristics of Chinese opera. These characteristics embody the essence of the aesthetic thought of traditional Chinese culture, constitute a unique theatrical view, and enable Chinese opera to shine with its unique artistic brilliance on the world stage of opera culture.

However, the glory of traditional opera can never be restored. Many people have tried, but under the general trend, they are either submerged or drift with the tide.

Chen Yu is neither a saint nor a cultural inheritor. He does not have the grand ambition to promote opera, and he believes he absolutely does not have that ability.

However, he hopes to set an example, hoping that more and more people will pay attention to this, like him, and allow opera actors to have a livelihood and continue to live a pure life.

That's all he can do.

In fact, it's not just traditional opera; many other traditional cultures are beginning to be submerged and gradually forgotten.

Chen Yu cannot save them all, nor is it possible for him to do so, even if he possesses a system.

"Wu Yun, I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. I'm at the East Gate!" Chen Yu called Wu Yun just before he arrived.

After confirming that Chen Yu would arrive at the venue at 8:00 AM this morning, Wu Yun got to work, contacting various teachers and relevant personnel, and arrived at the National Centre for the Performing Arts before 7:00 AM.

He didn't expect Chen Yu to arrive before eight o'clock.

“Okay, I’m already here!” Wu Yun said.

"Okay, thank you. How many people are there?" Chen Yu asked.

I glanced at the time and it was a little past 7:30.

They probably haven't eaten yet!

“There are forty or fifty people here! It definitely won’t delay your familiarization with the venue!” Wu Yun said.

"Okay, thank you!"

"fine!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu said.

"Sister Liang, stop here for a moment." Chen Yu stopped at a breakfast stall.

"What would you like to eat?!" the owner called out.

"Boss, please pack up all the breakfast items you have on hand for me now."

"All of them?!" The stall owner was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Yes, all of them. I have a lot of people here. When will your batch of buns and pancakes be ready in the shortest time?" There were forty or fifty people, but Chen Yu glanced at the stall and realized that the food was only enough for twenty people.

"Two or three minutes!"

"Okay, I'll take them all. Pack them up for me, and also get me forty cups of porridge!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Although surprised that Chen Yu wanted so much, the stall owner was naturally happy that business was good, and immediately got busy.

"You guys should eat something too!" Because they got up early, none of the three had eaten breakfast.

Because it's a motorhome, there's plenty of space, so there's no worry about not having room to put food!

“Okay!” Liang Siwen and Wang Yali nodded.

Liang Siwen naturally knew what Chen Yu wanted to do. She had initially been somewhat skeptical of the rumors about Chen Yu, but now it seemed that Chen Yu's character was truly admirable. He had even gotten out of the car to buy food for the staff, a rare sight among celebrities!

"These steamed buns are delicious!" Liang Siwen said after eating one.

"Hehe, this is a recipe I've kept for many years. I can guarantee that my steamed bun breakfast recipe was passed down from my father. I haven't cut corners at all. Although it's a bit pricey, the quality is guaranteed," the stall owner said with a smile.

"I can tell."

"Boss, your business must be doing pretty well, right?! Why don't you rent a shop?" Liang Siwen asked.

"I can't afford the rent. My steamed buns are made with high-quality ingredients, so the profit margin is low. With rent so expensive these days, I can only operate as a mobile vendor. But even wealthy people don't eat my steamed buns. They complain that I'm not hygienic. They don't know that I'm the truly hygienic one; they're just pretending to be clean," the stall owner said with a wry smile.

“Indeed, the best food is often found among ordinary people. I hope the owner continues to uphold this spirit. While it may not guarantee wealth, a comfortable life is certainly achievable,” Chen Yu nodded and said.

"Haha, I like what you said, but speaking of which, young man, you look familiar. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before!" the stall owner laughed.

"Oh? Maybe it's fate from a past life!" Chen Yu was taken aback, then joked.

"Haha, you are really good at talking."

During our casual conversation, five minutes passed. I must say, the boss was very fast; he prepared breakfast for more than forty people in just five minutes.

"That'll be 268 in total! I'll take 260 from you!" The stall owner said with a smile after calculating the bill.

"Thanks then!" Chen Yu didn't say much, nor did he readily say "no need," implying that Chen Yu had also had a difficult time.

That would be too incongruous.

Let things take their natural course and embrace life.

A breakfast costing 260 yuan may not be much, but it represents Chen Yu's good intentions.

It's truly remarkable that someone so young has such a heart. (To be continued.)
