Bai Mengdi (right) entered school when she was only eleven years old. She cried every day in dance class. “I wanted to cry before entering the classroom, and I cried for one semester,” Bai said.

Tan Xiaohong (left), the teacher, can understand her student because she had the same experience and made it through finally.

Tan Xiaohong, the national Class-A actor, entered the Chongqing Class of Sichuan Province Sichuan Opera School in 1979, and apprenticed with famous Sichuan Opera artists Zhou Jinzhong, Hu Yuhua, and Che Ying. In 1985, she entered Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theatre, and suffered from hard training, which made her cry for two years.

The training duration for basic exercise is five years. Although it just spends half of the time, students has been accomplished to the deeply pain.

What students fear most is “straddle split”. Students sit on the ground, and do the straddle split with the help of teachers. You can hear sounds of joint rattling and crying at the same time. 

The staircase is also the training ground for students. Stretch legs, stretch ligaments... You can feel the deep pain only after having a try.

No step, no mile. Hard training has become the daily routine. After years’ training, teachers and students are more and more tacit.
