For example, many operas are still banned and many new ones are stopped from even seeing the light of day by government censorship. In modern-day China, one cannot say that Chinese Opera is completely free. Old masters were once more able to transmit their trade to young artists and performances became legal once more. When the bloodiest days of the Cultural Revolution were over, Chinese Opera slowly started picking up again.
Only eight operas were allowed to be played during the whole of that decade, essentially stifling the creativity and inventiveness of Chinese opera performers all over the country. Hundreds of composers, scriptwriters and performers were purged during that era and performances of Chinese operas came to a halt.
