Wang Pushi is a young man from Beijing and also the lead singer of a rock band. Recently, he impressed his audience (观众) with his performance at “Youth π Plan”, a music competition show. He sang a fusion (融合) of rock and Kunqu Opera elements (要素) in his song titled “Ming Song”. The audience liked his performance, saying how “cool” and “different” it was.
Wang has been studying traditional Chinese opera since he was young. He joined the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre 11 years ago. And up to 2023, he has 11 years of experience in Kunqu Opera. Apart from Kunqu Opera, Wang has been interested in rock music from a young age. He said his favorite rock bands and musicians include David Bowie, Nirvana, Beyond, OneRepublic, and Caspian. In 2019, Wang started a rock band called “Xian Ke” with two other students from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, Yao Jiahan and Wen Haoyuan. Wang serves as the lead singer and guitarist.
So far, the band has made 25 songs, with one single (单曲) reaching over a hundred million plays. Wang hopes that through their music, more young people will know about and develop an interest in Kunqu Opera. He hopes to make more people overseas know about their songs and show more excellent Kunqu Opera on international stages.
