The actors are busy farming, and they go to sing in their spare time. In twenty-four years (1935), the Lenin Theatre organized by the Northwest Working Committee was changed to the Workers and Peasants Theatre. Twenty-five years (1936), the workers' and peasants' repertory theatre was renamed the People's Anti-Japanese Repertory Theatre, and moved to Wayaobao, with Wei Gongzhi as the head, and Yang Zui Xiang and Liu Baolin as the monitor of the song and dance and drama classes respectively. In the spring of 3 1 year (1942), Yan' an "Frontier Theater" entered Wayaobao to organize and guide young apprentices in various factories to rehearse programs. In the same year, Zichang County People's Amateur Troupe was established with the silk weaving factory as the core, which can perform some traditional operas, mainly in the rural areas of Zichang County.
