Date in memory sets creative stage

Wang says that he would like to establish a fund for Huichang Theater Village, to offer financial backing to a selection of outstanding productions and emerging talent.

Under the collaboration between Lai and Wang, a theater technology college has been set up in Huichang to provide professional courses for future theatrical technicians, with stage and costume design centers that meet international standards.

"As a businessperson and investor, I also think of theater as an industry. From my discussions with Lai, I found that there's a relatively weak link in the theater industry chain, which is the shortage of technical professionals," Wang says.
