he stage is set: it resembles a spaceship floating in the vastness of the cosmos. Several actors, accompanied by soothing background music and bathed in soft, dim light, hum a gentle melody as they approach the audience seated on stage with them. They seamlessly weave the names of the young spectators into a welcoming “Hello song,” greeting the children through song.
“Hello, Xiaoyuan,” the actors sing as they step in front of the nine-year-old boy, their soft voices enveloping him. Xiaoyuan blinks his big eyes shyly at them, then covers his face with his hands, though a small smile creeps onto his lips.
