Men Wenyuan is the general director of dance drama Batir Manas.

Men, former director of Shenyang military dance troupe, 81, started the cooperation with Wuxi Arts and Performance Group in 2008.

The sentence Men said most during the rehearsal was “oh, kids”. “Oh, girls. Let’s try it again.” ”Oh, kids. Pay more attention. You are dancers. It is your career.” Men has a resonant voice, and couldn’t help walking onto the stage to teach dancers how to perform when the words cannot work fitly.

Men gave many instructions to He Zhikai, a fresh dancer, who played the role of Simateyi, the son of Manas. When He could not get the point, Men walk onto the stage and performed the movements by himself.

“Fresh dancers need time to get used to performing on the stage. When I was young, I also received strict words and trainings, even more rigorous. We have cooperated in ten dance dramas. Grandpa is an excellent director,” said Zhang Yashu, heroine of the dance drama. Grandpa is the name of Men called by all dancers and staff.
