Shen Junhua, is in charge of organizing the school's exercises, said, "Sichuan Opera is local opera, but now it is facing a problem because few young want to learn it. So we invited some local artists (create) a simple and easy-to-learn Sichuan Opera exercise. " According to Shen, this new type of exercise(practice) since 2017 and is now popular among students. (learn) the exercise is not easy, so new students have to spend weeks practicing it until they can do it well. Some students have also joined the school's Sichuan Opera club due their own interest, although they had hardly heard of Sichuan Opera before.
