Very cool content...great stuff DW.

AjS

yangge is the business. my favourite slice of chinese culture.

saw a tv documentary on this particular troupe, following them through a yangge contest. think they finished second. was quite moving.

Even though Yangge is a Maoist creation, this is by far the best danwei TV yet.

never seen it in southern China
