A piece of white cloth, a lantern, and a dance of light and shadow bring drama to life. Li Caiting, an inheritor of Hehuang shadow puppetry, grew up in his father's troupe, deeply immersed in the art form. For decades he has dedicated himself to promoting folk culture and preserving shadow puppetry, including establishing the Hehuang Shadow Puppetry Institute, which allows people to understand and experience this ancient folk art firsthand. By bringing his skills to tourist attractions and schools, Li Caiting has revitalized Hehuang shadow puppetry and introduced it to a wider audience.
