How it's used
Pingju is a regional opera style originating from the Hebei province and is distinct from the more globally recognized Cantonese opera. It is known for its colloquial language and relatable storylines, which historically helped it gain popularity among the working class. In a Hong Kong context, it is considered a niche interest compared to local Cantonese opera or Peking opera.
