In 2021, Sun Zan opened a small shadow puppet theatre in Xi'an. See China's national intangible cultural heritage, shadow puppet show from Huaxian County. There are nearly thirty performances every day and almost every seat is taken. The world's shadow play originated in China, China's shadow play originated in Shaanxi province, and Shaanxi's shadow play originated in my home county of Huazhou, says Sun Zan.
