阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
The popular talent reality show Ride the Wind 2024(《乘风2024》) came out on April 19. It features 36 female stars from around the world giving amazing performances. One standout(突出的人) has been Chen Lijun, a young Yueju Opera actress.
While performing her song “Destiny”(《天命》), the 32 - year - old mixed opera singing with sword(剑) dancing to show the bravery of Chinese women, impressing many.
Chen is a member of Zhejiang Xiaobaihua, one of China’s most famous Yueju Opera groups. Born and raised in Shengzhou, Zhejiang, the birthplace of Yueju Opera, Chen began studying the art form at 13. Yueju Opera is famous for its feminine style, as most of its performers are women. With her tall height and bright character, Chen’s teachers encouraged her to play xiaosheng roles or young male characters, according to NewsChina Magazine.
Chen is known and loved by people for her cross - casting(反串) in New Dragon Gate Inn(《新龙门客栈》), a Yueju Opera show. In the show, Chen plays the male role of Jia Ting. Called the “Jade - faced Man(玉面郎君)”, Jia has a handsome look and great charm. In her acting, Chen brings out the chemistry with her costars. For example, with just one arm, she spins a costar around easily. Chen sees her role as a mix of both female and male charms having a strange sense of beauty.
Her performance is helping bring new life and more audiences(观众) to this art form. “At first, most of the audience were common opera fans. But later, newcomers to theater, many of them young people, began showing up,” Chen told China Daily.
“Traditional Chinese opera must be passed on, but more importantly, it needs to be brought to a wider audience,” Chen wrote online on April 12.
