Wang Keran, the founder, director, and artistic director of Magnificent Culture said, "I use every opportunity to get close to the theater and the audience in order to observe them and experience their environment... I fear the possibility of gradually losing connection with people. So, I always remind myself to connect for the creation. Without the ability to connect with people you will be much less likely to create truly vivid works."

This year's Beijing Culture Forum, co-organized by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the municipal Party committee and the government of Beijing, will be held from Sept 14 to 15 in the capital. Here are a series of talks with celebrities covering various fields such as calligraphy, literature, dance, and opera.
