China and Kyrgyzstan are joining hands to preserve the epic of "Manas." The ancient Kyrgyz epic "Manas" is one of the world's longest oral epics and a treasured piece of intangible cultural heritage, which has long served as a cultural bridge between China and Kyrgyzstan. Today, the two countries are working together to preserve and pass on this epic tradition. In China, "Manas" has been increasingly documented and studied, while a stage adaptation by a troupe from China's Xinjiang region recently premiered in Kyrgyzstan to a packed audience.
