To let people enjoy the fruits of arts and to stimulate them to participate in the art gala through all methods is the biggest feature of the Seventh China Arts Festival, said Chen Xiaoguang, the vice cultural minister and director of the organizing committee of the Seventh China Arts Festival.

According to Chen, the opening ceremony was previewed ten times before the formal performance and the invited audiences include workers, teachers, and other ordinary people.

The committee also adopted several favorable policies to let the audiences enjoy the programs with low price tickets.

In addition, adopting the audiences' opinions in the competition of Wenhua Award makes the arts festival a real festival of the people. Besides, it is the audiences who choose the drama and actor or actress that they like best.
