The National Center for the Performing Arts staged a classic opera titled "The Daughter of the Party" from Tuesday to Sunday to celebrate the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

 

Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, watched the performance on Sunday.

 

The opera, reproduced from a 1991 version, tells the story of how CPC members started the Party's great cause in revolutionary times.

 

Wang was joined by about 1500 people, including officials and members of the public from all walks of life in Beijing, in watching the performance.
