A city with a cultural atmosphere does not only rely on its streetscapes and buildings, but also relies on an artistic soul.

Unlike online live broadcasting, street performances focus on "liveness", which is why it is difficult for live broadcast rooms to replace the street. The interviewed live listeners said that listening to songs on the spot is more impactful, not only the sound quality is completely "lossless", but they can also interact with the singers on the spot.
In fact, the news of Chengdu street artists returning to the street was spread as early as a few days ago. In addition to passers-by who stopped temporarily, there were some fans who came to the spot early. On the afternoon of the 30th, Ms. Lin, a citizen of Chengdu, made a special trip with her friends to Chengdu Raffles Red Panda Plaza. At 5 pm, Chengdu street artists sent stars here to sing on time. "This afternoon is for her." Ms. Lin said that the appearance of street artists has enriched the cultural life of citizens. It is rare to be able to enjoy a small concert at close quarters and face-to-face with your favorite singer every week. happy.
The timely resumption of work by street performers has to a certain extent filled the “fault” of cultural demand caused by the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia. After visiting the street performances, Song Lumin, a foreign tourist, said that street art is a kind of popular culture and plays an important role in enriching cultural life.
Today, Chengdu Street Art is seeking more forms of artistic expression. "Now street artists are still mainly singing, but this year will increase the recruitment of other art categories, such as 'non-legacy', dance. Chengdu welcomes friends with special skills in this area." Bi Jiao said. (Finish)
