Other than Jiangxi, string puppetry has developed in Quanzhou, Fujian. At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, the Quanzhou Marionette Troupe presented Huoyanshan (Flaming Mountain), a classic repertoire that was created by the troupe in 1978.
Formerly led by the legendary puppet master Huang Yique (1928-2007), known as the pioneer of China's modern string puppetry, the Quanzhou Marionette Troupe has entertained audiences in many countries.
