About the artist, Xue Hongquan
Shadow play in an ancient art form dates back over 2000 years in China. Shadow play was originated in Hua County, Shaanxi province, China, where Xue Hongquan was born. Born in 1968, Xue left school and started a career in making the shadow puppet when he was 14. “ Shadow play drama is very rarely performed now.

I hope with my puppets, people can know more about shadow play and come to see a live play.”
