Once solely sought after by elderly people in China, traditional Chinese operas have now found new ways to survive in the modern world: Livestreaming performances on social media platforms. Thanks to that, many Chinese opera actors have found a second way of living through livestreamed performances. The income that actors received from online audiences during these livestreams shows the respect the latter has toward this centuries-year-old art. Since most of the audiences online are young people, it also shows their deep appreciation of the profound importance of traditional culture.
