In 2014, as a producer and an actress, she made her first children's play, I Love Fables.

Involving singing, dancing and multimedia, the play is based on the classic story of a race between a tortoise and a hare and linked with four Chinese fables. It toured the country with more than 40 performances, attracting more than 40,000 viewers.

Zhou also invited her colleagues from CCTV, including Ju Ping, a famous children's show host on Chinese TV, to act in the show.

After the successful first attempt, Zhou made her second play, I Love Fairy Tales, which premiered in Beijing on June 1, International Children's Day, in 2015. In the next three months, the play was staged more than 60 times, proving to be another success for Zhou.

This year, I Love Fairy Tales is on a 100-city tour of the country, including Chongqing and Qingdao in Shandong province.

I Love Fairy Tales has five well-known stories, including The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood.
