preface
Peking Opera has a tradition of family learning since ancient times, and many actors have received strict opera education since childhood, Jiang Yishan is one of them, and since the day she began to learn dance at the age of 6, her life has embarked on an artistic road.
Jiang Yishan was born in 1978, her parents are ordinary workers, and her family is not wealthy, but she has a soft spot for the stage since she was a child, and she entered the Liaoning Ballet at the age of 6 and began to systematically learn the basics of dance.
Seeing that her daughter was so obsessed with art, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother also sent her to a Peking Opera family, and 14-year-old Jiang Yishan was admitted to the Peking Opera class of Liaoning Art School, and her dream began.
The dream begins
