This Chinese puppet master is trying to save his art: Spirit of Hong Kong

  • 5 years ago
Li Yi-hsin is a pupper master who comes from a family of Chinese opera puppeteers. Althought the art of Chinese opera puppetry is over 1,000 years old, Li is afraid its days might be numbered.

To help save this ancient art, he started to offer free classes to help teach young people in Hong Kong how to perform a Chinese puppet opera.

The video is part of a series highlighting the finalists of the 2018 Spirit of Hong Kong Awards, which is organized by the South China Morning Post. The awards have been shining a light on Hong Kong's unsung heroes since 2013.
