Yuquin W ang, a master puppe
teer, began studies at the Beijing
Opera School at the age of 10. She
lived at the school and attended
classes in opera singing, history, and
acrobatics six days a week. W hen
her training as a puppeteer began at
age 17, she liked the fact that pup
petry performances were only lim
ited by the performer’s imagina
tions: the characters could do or be
anything, while opera was lim ited to
human characters. Her husband
Zhengli “Rocky" Xu is a master
puppet maker, set designer, and
puppeter. He trained as an appren
tice to a master puppet maker for 30
years in China.
