Family · as Gao Juexin

My theatre debut

My role: Playing the lead role of Gao Juexin

Family was my theatre debut, and I stepped into the leading role of Gao Juexin. Theatre has been a wonderful experience for me and has made my university life richer. Adapted for the stage by Cao Yu, the play tells a tragic story within a feudal family. Gao Juexin, the character I played, is the Gao family’s eldest son and eldest grandson.
