China Pingju Opera Theatre presented Rising Step by Step at Tianqiao Theatre in Beijing on Aug 18. Through a dual-timeline narrative, the story traces 170 years of the Beijing brand “Gaoshengfang”, weaving together the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and modern times. With a pair of fragrant shoes as the thread, the play reveals how tradition and innovation walk hand in hand.
