    It's not easy to let young people accept the ways of the old. It's becoming e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} more difficult in the face of new technologies. So officers gathered in Wuhan, Hubei Province that is proved to be good at m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} children interested in tradition. They shared some lessons. As we all know, many students know little about traditional things. Officers d{#blank#}3{#/blank#} how to make local operas popular in elementary and middle schools. Officers also agreed that every student should get the chance to w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a traditional opera show for free every year.

    The work of the theatre was divided into three p{#blank#}5{#/blank#}: speech, teaching and performance. By the end of November, about 146 e{#blank#}6{#/blank#} of these kinds were held. Opera artists are often invited to schools to communicate with students and teachers. Traditional opera lessons are t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} in more than 80 percent of its elementary and middle schools. More than 6,600 opera shows were performed at schools that year, and that was h{#blank#}8{#/blank#} praised by students and parents.

    In this way students can have a taste of the traditional beauty of China. "At first I was afraid these events could be a distract (分心) from study. Now I r{#blank#}9{#/blank#} that our children have learned a lot from them," said one parent of No.71 Middle School. One of the officers said o{#blank#}10{#/blank#} parts of the country could learn some lessons from Hubei Province's experiences. They hope students all over China will have the chance to learn the art of traditional operas by the end of 2018.
