November 30, 2021 | 5 min

Young Masters is an original series commissioned by NOWNESS China focusing on traditional Chinese cultures, and how they continue to be defined by a new generation of the country's youth. Puning City in Guangdong Province is known within China as the 'Cultural Hometown' of Chaoshan, with the folk dance Yingge being one of its most famous customs. Yingge, meaning "Hero's Hymn", combines Nanquan routines and opera acting skills, and is a vibrant and upbeat performance in which dancers don intricate costumes and facial makeup, and play the role of the heroes in Water Margin《水浒传》- an ancient Chinese novel about brotherhood.
