The annual Huaihua Beautiful Country Culture and Arts Festival recently took place in Hunan province, aiming to involve more villagers in art creation and vitalize local culture.

Hosted by the China Art Association, Hunan Photographers Association and the Huaihua Federation of Literary and Art Circles, this year’s arts festival featured local people performing a variety of disciplines on stage, including wind and percussion music, group dance and Chinese operas.

Unique to this year’s arts festival is a photography exhibition, showcasing 50 pictures taken by migrant workers. The photos are selected from the award winners of the 2018 Hunan Province Workers Photography Exhibition.
