　　On this land of multicultural integration in Singapore, a unique cultural feast quietly bloomed, closely connecting the classical charm of the distant East with the childlike dreams of a foreign land. Recently, Guo Xuqian, the overseas cultural ambassador of Chengwu County and the founder of the Singapore Chinese Arts Center, walked into the military port primary school in Singapore with a deep emotional attachment to Chinese culture and a mission to inherit it. He successfully held a unique "Peony Lecture Hall" activity, which opened a door to the traditional Chinese art hall for children in the form of painting Facial Makeup and teaching Peking Opera.

　　At the event, colorful and lively scenes gradually took shape in the curious eyes of the children. Teacher Guo Xuqian earnestly recounted the historical stories and character traits behind each Facial Makeup. These images, which originally only existed on the stage of traditional Chinese opera, became vivid under Teacher Guo's narration, as if crossing time and space and leaping into the hearts of the children.

　　Drawing facial makeup is not only the inheritance of skills, but also the transmission of culture, "Teacher Guo Xuqian said affectionately." I hope that through these activities, children can feel the profoundness of Chinese culture and stimulate their interest and love for it. "Under his guidance, the children are also eager to try, picking up their brushes and carefully sketching their" masterpieces "on the blank mask. Although the strokes are slightly immature, the pursuit of beauty and respect for culture are particularly precious at this moment.

　　In addition, Teacher Guo Xuqian also carefully prepared a vivid lecture on Peking Opera knowledge. He introduced the origin, development, character classification, and performance characteristics of Peking Opera to children in easy to understand language. From gorgeous costumes to complex singing styles, from exciting martial arts to intricate expressions, every detail made the children listen with relish, as if they were in that vivid world of opera.

　　After the event, many children excitedly exclaimed, "So Beijing Opera is so interesting!" "Chinese culture is so profound! I hope there will be such an event again next time!" The children's pure words were not only the highest praise for this event, but also the best encouragement for Teacher Guo Xuqian and all those who are committed to cultural dissemination.

　　This "Peony Lecture Hall" event is not only a cultural exchange and dissemination, but also a spiritual touch and resonance. It is like a bridge connecting China and Singapore, allowing the people of both countries to find resonance and understanding in their common cultural heritage. We have reason to believe that with the unremitting efforts of cultural communicators such as Teacher Guo Xuwei, the charm of Chinese culture will transcend mountains and rivers, and shine even brighter.
