For a long time, how to cooperate between state-owned troupes and private troupes, how to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses of traditional duet and "new duet" has been a difficult problem, but in recent years in the relevant departments of the *** with the efforts of the breakthroughs. 2011 November, the Jilin Provincial Department of Culture integration of the provincial In November 2011, the Jilin Provincial Department of Culture integrated the performing arts strength of the Provincial Folk Art Troupe (state-owned) and the Northeast Wind Two-Man Revolving Art Troupe (private), and organized famous actors and actresses to give three consecutive wonderful performances in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, which were welcomed and recognized by the local audience, enriching the "Chinese Culture Year" themed on "Feeling China" in Australia.

Integration of state-owned and private resources, this "brotherhood" approach to the two-people turn for market development and joint development provides a new way of thinking. This performance has built an international platform for cultural exchange, promoting Chinese culture and art "going out", exploring and expanding the overseas cultural market.
The frequent participation in international performances, in addition to expanding the influence of overseas, expanding the market and dissemination of Chinese culture, a very big gain is to actively explore and accumulate valuable experience. This includes experience in planning, organizing, coordinating and publicizing, as well as on-site stage performance experience. A wealth of experience has been gained in properly handling on-site emergencies, meeting the needs of audiences from different cultural backgrounds, bringing actors and audiences closer together, minimizing language barriers and cultural differences, dealing with the relationship between traditional and modern performance styles, and strengthening the relationship between state-run and privately-run troupes. Most of the traditional art forms such as Chinese opera and operatic singing are facing decline in the tide of modernization. In a way, the success of this joint attempt to open up the market for two-people's turn also provides an important reference for the development of other art forms.
In addition to performances abroad, there are many international friends came to China to watch the two-people turn. in October 1963, Premier Zhou Enlai accompanied North Korean Marshal Choi Yongjian to visit Heilongjiang, and watched the two-people turn "Sister Yang Bajie swims in spring", "back to the cup" and other programs performed by the provincial Dragon River Theatre's Zhang Shufang, Han Shizhen, Bai Fenglan, as well as some clips from the Dragon River play in Harbin, Premier Zhou said: "the foundation of the two-people turn is very good, to create the people's favorite Longjiang play, but also the development of the two-people turn. 1983 August, the University of Toronto, Canada, Professor Shi Qingzhao is the "Chinese singing art research society" one of the initiators, very much in love with the Chinese opera.

Because there is a kind of theater in Argentina, which is also "one person playing many roles", very similar to the performance of "Two People's Opera", the audience found their soulmates in the performance. In Tian Zifu's words, the aesthetics of "like it or not, do more than like it" of Er Ren Suo, however, got ****sound in the audience from the other side of the Pacific. This shows that art needs to communicate with each other to improve understanding, so as to broaden the horizons for better development.
