Singer Yuan Shuai staged a solo concert at the China Conservatory of Music in late September.

The concert, titled Ten Years, was to review her 10-year study at the conservatory. Yuan, 27, opened the concert with folk songs, adapted from traditional Chinese poems, including Qing Ping Diao (A Song of Pure Happiness).

She also paid tribute to her teacher, Dong Hua, who is known for performing folk songs of China's Shaanxi province, by singing Red Lantern and Full Moon.
