Wang Fang, a woman from Suzhou, puts her whole heart into Kunqu Opera. She started to learn the traditional art form from a young age. 

Born with a sweet voice, Wang loved to sing and dance and the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Troupe (剧团) (SKOT) chose her when she was in middle school. However, her parents refused the troupe's invitation, saying that her studies were more important. After members of the troupe visited the parents again and again, Wang's parents finally agreed. 

Learning the traditional art form was never easy. She started to learn how to pronounce and sing words, and how to make proper movements (动作) . She got wet through when practicing movements in summer, while in winter she often had chilblains (冻疮) on her hands. "No matter how difficult, I always got up early the next morning to practice," Wang says. 

Wang says she did not love Kunqu at first, but in her early 20s, when she watched the show by Zhang Jiqing, a master (大师) of the art form, it clicked. "Her every movement was full of beauty. Each of her words and songs was perfect. I was touched by the beauty of Kunqu for the first time, and I decided to stay with it all my life." says Wang. 

Wang once said in a talk, "First you must be a dreamer, then a doer, and only then can you be a master. I believe it - it should be this way and that I am this way," Now, Wang is a master of Kunqu. People of different ages love her shows and she helps the art form become more popular with young people.

There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy son. The businessman wanted his son to realize the value of labor. 

One day, he told his son, "Today, I want you to earn something. If you fail, you won't have your meal tonight. "

The boy didn't want to find a job, so he asked his mother for help. She gave him a gold coin. In the evening, when the father asked his son what he had earned, the son showed him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into the well (水井). The son did as he was told. 

The father guessed that the gold was from the boy's mother. The next day, he sent his wife to her parents' home and asked his son to earn something. Since no one helped him, the son had to go to the market to look for a job. A shopkeeper told him that he would pay him a coin if he carried heavy tools for him. The son accepted. As he returned home and gave the coin to his father. he was asked to throw it into the well. The boy cried, "Dad! My body is aching. I'm tired. How are you asking me to throw my hard-earned coin into a well?"

The businessman smiled. He told his son that one feels pain only when the fruits of labor are wasted. The son realized the value of hard work. He promised not to be lazy any more.
