A talented artist, as well as an influencer on Chinese social media, French musical actor Laurent Ban is affectionately referred to by Chinese audiences as Lao Hangban, literally meaning "old flight."
After first performing in China in 2005, this "flight" has continued to sail between China and France in the past 20 years, building bridges for dialogue, and extolling the friendship of the two countries.
"We've spent twenty years' of love and I think we're going to spend forty, sixty or maybe one hundred years more. And I want to see you again and again in the next show." Ban said during an interview with Xinhua Correspondent Ma Zheng.
