To the surprise of Abdualla Abdurehim, a national first-class actor of Xinjiang Art Theater Opera Troupe and a Xinjiang musician, a song named Kambarhan he once sang was choreographed into a modern ballet dance The Voice From Afar by Fei Bo, Chief Choreographer of the National Ballet of China. After this work was performed at the 6th China Xinjiang International Dance Festival, it caused great repercussions.

On August 1, in the familiar musical melodies, the audience witnessed a different expression of a young couple pursuing love in a fast-paced life with the Xinjiang folk song in the form of modern ballet dance on the stage of the Cultural and Creative Center of Xinjiang Medical University (Xuelianshan Campus). With the performance of NBC’s dancers, the audience felt the unique feelings of the two lovers.

 Abdualla Abdurehim sent a warm invitation to Fei Bo to visit Xinjiang often and hoped that Feibo could create more modern ballet works with Xinjiang folk music elements.
