Wang Lirong, chief choreographer and director of the dance drama, said that the enthusiasm and hard work of teachers and students were the reason why "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was able to be on stage. At the beginning of the organization, there was no financial support. Wang Lirong took the lead in donating money and materials, with a total price of more than 10,000 yuan. The students also donated money one after another, and finally collected more than 20,000 yuan. The dance drama took half a year from planning to performance. The 50 participating students were both actors and staff. They edited the music, made their own costumes, and designed their own stage design. Although the dance drama "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is still very unfamiliar, the participating students said that being able to personally produce and perform such a dance drama as they near graduation "allows us to always keep a beating heart for dance."
