Synopsis

Years ago, the county troupe opened its doors to new talent, and Sanyuan Hu, the troupe's drummer, seized the opportunity for his niece, Qin'e Yi. He brought her from their hometown to immerse her in the world of Qinqiang. Yet, an unforeseen incident, rooted in Sanyuan's actions, cast shadows over Qin'e's path, making her journey fraught with challenges. Undeterred, she harnessed her determination and innate talent, earning the admiration and backing of seasoned artists. Her groundbreaking performance in "Break Meng Opera" captivated rural audiences and led to her being called to the prestigious provincial Qinqiang troupe, where she adopted her stage name, Qin'e Yi.

In the provincial troupe, Qin'e Yi's relentless dedication to her craft bore fruit. Her performances on stage resonated with success, a testament to her unwavering spirit. Through trials and triumphs, she discovered that the essence of being a "protagonist" lay in preserving and passing on the rich legacy of Qinqiang art. Embracing this revelation, she committed herself to nurturing a new generation of vibrant stars to shine on the Qinqiang stage, ensuring the art form's luminous future.
