三、阅读回答问题

Shadow puppetry(皮影戏), an ancient form of storytelling that first appeared in China more than 2,000 years ago, still enjoys popularity these days.

Just like so many animals on the earth that are in danger of dying out, traditional arts also face the risk of disappearing. “Many young people still think shadow puppetry is some kind of old-fashioned folk art,” said Liu Chaokan, who is the sixth-generation inheritor(传承人) of Liujiazhai shadow puppetry.

Before deciding to carry the torch of shadow puppetry, Liu Chaokan was practicing shooting as a student-athlete in college. Some of his college friends doubted the future of the family business. They couldn’t understand why he would choose to work on an “old and unattractive” art.

Empty seats and bad comments didn’t stop him. It was his love for shadow puppetry and the ambition to let the old art continue to shine in modern life that made him decide to stay on.

To make this old art form appeal to the young, he’s combined(使……结合) fresh content and brand-new stories with the traditional form of storytelling. In a recent show adapted by his team based on the ancient Chinese novel Journey to the West, Baigujing dances to the Korean pop hit Gangnam Style. Ne Zha, Pleasant Goat, and other famous Chinese cartoon characters, together with some popular foreign cartoon characters, are Liu’s secret of attracting the attention of children.

Tik Tok(抖音) has also been Liu’s new tool to spread shadow puppetry. To keep the old art forever young, Liu believes he should also respect its traditions. “You can’t shake the roots of the art,” Liu said. “Keeping its traditions and being creative are equally important.”
