After two months training by Guan Bo, an actor from China National Peking Opera Company, Yuan also performed at the concert some classic pieces, including The Drunken Concubine.

She also invited Zhang Shunxiang, a famed jinghu (Chinese bowed string instrument) player from China National Peking Opera Company, to perform with her.

"From 17 to 27 years old, I spent my best years with music. The 10 years are noble and incredibly important to me," say Yuan.
