To play the role of King Zhou Mu, I feel that I am particularly honored to speak as a Xinjiang child, and it is also a peak on my way to art now.
[Commentary] In the play, King Zhou Mu encountered difficulties and obstacles such as snowstorm, fire and daughter tribe on the way to the west. These scenes were romanticized and poetic. These magical visual feasts left a deep impression on the audience impression.
