Students dress up and get animated

Hidden behind the curtain, Bai Bingju was making up in front of a small mirror to prepare for the next drama. In 15 minutes, she would perform on the stage for her favorite role - Sabre in the cartoon Silver Soul. The 18-year-old high school student, from Mengzi, capital of Honghe Hani and Yi autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province, was confident that her team could be a strong competitor at the 6th Animation Festival of Yunnan, which ran from Aug 9-14.
