What happens when you put Kun opera, the show of all shows, with a high-end 8k projector? On the night of April 11, the new "Yixiaji" ("The Story of the Hero" in Chinese), the story of Pan Jinlian, Wu Song, and Wu Dalang, will debut at Peking University. The play's Executive Producer is a renowned writer on both sides of the Strait - Kenneth Pai (Pai Hsien-yung). Delta projected 29 exclusive stills of the "Yixiaji" on a 400 inch super large screen with the world's first DLP® 8K laser projector. Through the astounding presentation of the projector, countless guests were first to see in photos the actors' performances, expressions, and delicately-made costumes.

Kun opera is a perfect combination of literature, music, and dance. In 2001, it was listed as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Since 2009, Executive Producer Kenneth Pai and Peking University have been collaborating in the Kun Opera Heritage Project and have created the "Classical Kun Opera Lecture", where students love, learn the classics in-depth, and even participate in performances. Pai especially thanks Delta founder and honorary Chairperson Bruce Cheng for providing the 8k projector to display the stills of "Yixiaji" in ultrahigh resolution for unparalleled intense drama.

Delta founder and honorary Chairperson Bruce Cheng indicated that the projector technology developed from 2k to 4k over the years. Delta and its affiliated company Digital Projection jointly developed the world's first 8k laser projector with 25k lumens in brightness, vibrant saturated colors, and 16 times the regular HD technology. The display technology presents the beauty of Kun opera art again, so that technology and humanities complement each other.

Delta CBO Guo Shan-shan indicated that the story of Pan Jinlian in "Yixiaji" allows the audience to experience humanity and emotions from a different mode through the novelist's compassion. These new songs enliven different quintessential opera characters and have planted a more stable foundation for the renaissance of Chinese Kun opera. For founder Bruce Cheng, a man described by the media as a "Confucian Entrepreneur", it is the most gratifying when using technology in service of culture and arts.
