Chinese drama is proving a big hit at the 10th Saint Petersburg International Theatre Festival in Russia. The drama "Soulmate" by the Beijing People's Art Theater was staged in the Alexan'drinsky Theater over the weekend.  It's a fitting response to the visit of Russian play "The Government Inspector" last August.

Chinese drama is rarely shown in Russia because of language and technical barriers.  But with the help of simultaneous interpretation, artists from the two countries worked together to make "Soulmate" a success.

The Beijing People’s Art Theater has fans across China because of its unique artistic style. Every actor and actress offers audiences vivid and accurate impressions of the characters they represent.

"As China and Russia are enjoying a very good relationship, we need to make cultural exchanges to further enhance our cultural bilateral ties," said Feng Yuanzheng, actor.

Comedy by famous Russian dramatist Nikolay Gogol "The Government Inspector" was staged in the Capital Theater of Beijing last August to great acclaim.

The exchange by artists constitutes an important part of cultural exchanges between the two countries.
