"Legendary face changing show" was performed to the public in Chengdu Jinjiang theater, and won great praise from the audience.

"Legend face changing show" is a multi act drama with the growth process of Wang xiaosanqing as the main line. Wang Chao, a young performer of Shichuan theater, plays xiaosanqing, and Wang Yumei, a new winner of plum blossom award and a young actor of Shichuan theater, plays xiaohuanhua. In his youth, Xiao Sanqing and Xiao Huanhua fell in love and acted on the same stage. However, Ma Dashao, a bully, wanted to rob Xiao Huanhua. In order to protect Xiao Huanhua, Xiao Sanqing fought with Ma Dashao and was later disfigured, so he could only wear a mask. From then on, he worked hard and became the king of face changing in Sichuan Opera.

"Legend face show is on!" A strong Chengdu dialect brought everyone into the drama that night. Along with the dance of the actors of Sichuan Opera, the gorgeous laser lights open the whole play. The laser lights become many faces, unpredictable. The first play "three heroes vs. Lu Bu" draws the audience into the face changing atmosphere of Sichuan Opera. The shadow play of hand shadow animals and two people shows the traditional Chinese culture. The second play "practice" tells the basic skills needed by the actors of Sichuan Opera, including martial arts, acrobatics, singing and clown Zhezi, etc. During this period, there are also costumes of Sichuan Opera.

The third play is "Hongmei Pavilion", which tells the love between xiaosanqing and xiaohuanhua. Life is like a play and drama is like life. The style of Old Chengdu has also been moved to the stage in the form of market. Snacks such as bean curd and sugar gourd, and ancient towns such as Pingle and Huanglongxi remind people of Old Chengdu. In addition, the production technology of Wudalang cooking cake is also shown in the form of Sichuan Opera. Then, "rubber band rolling lamp" let people feel the top lamp acrobatics full of Sichuan people's humorous temperament. There is also the world's first flying knife, which makes people feel creepy and sweat all over. The double flying show vividly depicts the faithful love between xiaosanqing and xiaohuanhua.

After a heavy rain, the end of the play "legend" began to perform, from the stage of six people alone into six faces, using magic skills to make different 36 different shapes of facial makeup, in order to show the face changing King's love and hate. In the performance, the actor disguised three times in a row, from a hero to a general, and the magic face changed the whole play to a climax.

Sichuan Opera is one of the most important traditional cultures in China, and the face changing of Sichuan Opera embodies the superb skills of traditional culture. Jinjiang theater's "legendary face changing show" inherits the traditional culture, and shows Sichuan Opera well in front of people, so that more people can understand it.
