(Bandar Seri Begawan, 27th) The Jinjiang City Nanyin Art Troupe from Fujian, China, recently visited the Brunei Fujian Association to carry out a cultural exchange performance. Using the intangible cultural heritage of Nanyin as a link, they built a friendly bridge for cultural communication and emotional connection between China and Brunei, presenting the local overseas Chinese community with an authentic Minnan traditional audio-visual feast.
This exchange event attracted much attention, with Brunei Fujian Association president Fang Yuanhe, council members, and association members attending enthusiastically. Acting president Lee Yongzhen, several vice presidents, directors, Youth League executives, as well as local major media reporters were also present, jointly witnessing this overseas exhibition of traditional national essence.
In his speech, Brunei Fujian Association president Fang Yuanhe expressed a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the artists of the Jinjiang City Nanyin Art Troupe for traveling such a long distance.
He said that the troupe took time out of their busy schedules to visit Brunei for exchange and performance, which is not only a professional art show but also a cross-border cultural and emotional interaction. It fully demonstrates the deep and continuous friendship shared by Minnan sons and daughters at home and abroad, and further closes the distance between overseas compatriots and their motherland.
He pointed out that Nanyin, as a precious traditional folk music treasure of China, possesses profound historical heritage and rich cultural connotations. Its tunes are elegant and graceful, with far-reaching meanings. It carries the wisdom and folk customs of the Minnan region developed over thousands of years.
He said that the Jinjiang Nanyin Art Troupe has been deeply cultivating tradition and meticulously passing on artistry for a long time, always bringing intangible cultural heritage to life with professional artistic performances, conveying the humanistic feelings and artistic beauty of Minnan in a delicate way.
“In this special performance, the troupe demonstrated the unique artistic charm of Nanyin from all angles, allowing Brunei's local overseas compatriots and people from all walks of life to immerse themselves in the unique style of Minnan traditional culture.”
Fang Yuanhe stated that culture is an important link that connects the bonds of hometown affection, as well as an important bridge for civilizational exchanges. This overseas Nanyin exchange performance is not only an artistic exchange, but also a profound manifestation of overseas Chinese tracing their roots and cherishing their homeland.
He hopes that through this cultural exchange event, the cultural interaction and friendly cooperation between Brunei and Fujian can be further deepened, allowing the ancient art of Nanyin to continue to be spread and promoted overseas, so that more overseas people can get to know and fall in love with Minnan intangible heritage culture, and that shared cultural resonance can unite hometown feelings and enhance friendships.
At the same time, he said that the Brunei Fujian Association will continue to play the role of a cultural platform in the future, actively building more channels for domestic and overseas cultural exchanges, promoting the blending and co-existence of diverse cultures, so that the excellent traditional Chinese culture can take root and flourish overseas and give rise to new vitality.
At the end of the event, Fang Yuanhe expressed his gratitude to all the cast and crew of the Jinjiang City Nanyin Art Troupe for their dedication, as well as to all sectors who participated in and supported this event. He also looks forward to the long-term continuation of cultural exchanges between the two places, everlasting friendship among overseas Chinese at home and abroad, and the everlasting inheritance and flourishing of traditional Chinese culture from generation to generation.
