In 2005, the second edition of Xinhua Daily published a newsletter, "Thirty Years Immortality, Love to Hear Chickens Sing Nine Clouds —— Interview with Shen Yue, the First Professional Household of China Yue Opera". Shen Yue was very excited after seeing it. He said: "When our class became the first professional cultural household in Changzhou, many people didn't understand, and some even looked at me with strange eyes. I am under a lot of pressure. Xinhua Daily was the first to report to me, which gave me great encouragement and confidence. Today, you still support me as always, adding infinite strength to me. I must do a better job in the training of Yue Opera and make the flowers of Yue Opera more colorful! "
Up to now, Cradle Project has held 70 free training courses for Yue Opera in Changzhou, trained more than 5,000 young "disciples" of Yue Opera, and trained, selected and transported dozens of young professional actors from Beijing Opera, Kunqu Opera, Yue Opera, Tin Opera and Shanghai Opera. The reason why this achievement can be achieved is that Shen Yue thinks: "To develop Yue Opera in China, there must be good operas, good actors and good audiences. With the audience, there will naturally be good actors and good scenes. "
According to this train of thought, Shen Yue regards schools as the first line to promote Yue Opera. It is planned to establish the "Cradle Target Base" of Changzhou Youth Shaoxing Opera Training Center in Yikang Primary School, and invited the tutor Xu Yulan to unveil the base. In addition, many primary and secondary schools, such as Qian Jie Primary School, Yikang Primary School and No.3 Middle School of Changzhou Municipal Bureau, introduce Yue Opera into the classroom, and Shen Yue often goes to the school to explain, demonstrate and guide the students.
Now Changzhou Shaoxing Opera Training Center has established a good cooperative relationship with art colleges all over the country, and a large number of outstanding students have been sent to colleges and universities for professional training. Over the past 25 years, * * * has trained more than 4,000 young students and accepted 26 special performances by professional colleges and delegations from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. In-depth enterprises, institutions, schools and rural areas held 42 training courses, 20 classes of municipal professional groups, and more than 0/00 performances of friendly units all year round; Eight young professionals were selected to send them to professional colleges and troupes for free, and to send them to professional troupes for training 128 people.
In order to help students from poor families learn Yue Opera better, Shen Yue will also waive their fees and minimize their learning resistance. At the same time, Shen Yue also went into Changzhou University Town to promote Yue Opera culture for college students. Let college students know about Yue Opera and understand Yue Opera, which opens a way for developing young audiences.
Modern society is changing with each passing day and developing continuously. In an era when network information is becoming more and more important, Shen Yue has also established Weibo and QQ groups, so that people who like Yue Opera can easily participate in discussions and get the latest information on the Internet. Shen Yue is now preparing to organize young people to develop abroad and perform jointly with foreign groups. All these are pushing Yue Opera to go further.
Through 35 years of experience, Shen Yue also summed up a set of action procedures of Yue Opera, including the training purpose of "three forces" of Yue Opera; Three-in-one policy, four operation modes and sustainable development direction of Yue Opera. Among them, the prosperity and revitalization of learning Yue Opera; Expand education and love Yue Opera; Publicize and popularize the understanding of Yue Opera; Consolidating and perfecting the "four methods" of Yue Opera singing aims at creating a good political, artistic, social and economic environment for the development of Yue Opera.

These two classic Yue operas fully demonstrate the artistic charm of Yue opera, and let Changzhou people fully appreciate the charm of Yin, Wang, Fu and other operas. Shen Yue, who has just returned from a class in Shanghai, has been participating in the rehearsal of these two plays nonstop.
Although Shen Yue is almost 70 years old, he is very busy every day. Going to Shanghai to give lectures to students, rehearse plays and publicize the "cradle" project made his life full of vitality. Lively and hearty, he is still childlike, and he is still rehearsing and studying with young people as happily as a child. He is full of enthusiasm and confidence. He said, "I am willing to devote my life to the future of Yue Opera."
