On Dec 24, shooting began on the Yueju opera Blossom of Women, which is sponsored by the Nantong Economic & Technological Development Area (NETDA).
Blossom of Women is a story about women in prison in NETDA, under the care of prison director Leng Chunyan, who reshaped their outlook on life and helped them return to society.
Fan Xiaoping, head of the Nantong Yueju Opera Troupe, will play the story's heroine. It will take about 40 days to complete the rehearsal and audition in early February, 2021.
