Martial arts opera sensation Zhou Enxu just leveled up cultural fusion at this year's Spring Festival Opera Gala! 🐎 The 32-year-old performer, now in his FOURTH consecutive appearance, blew minds with his AR-powered show Galloping Steeds – where traditional opera meets holographic warhorses straight out of a video game cutscene.
💡 Pro tip: Zhou’s been training since age 6 in Beijing opera schools. His latest stunt? Coordinating with three other performers to become digitized stallions through motion-capture tech, creating a thunderous cavalry charge that left Gen-Z viewers screaming for encores.
🔥 Why it slaps: This isn’t your grandma’s Peking Opera. The show’s creative director told us, ‘We’re speaking the language of TikTok while honoring 200-year-old art forms’ – complete with #EpicTransition moments between painted-face closeups and augmented reality landscapes.
