He knows that the survival and development of traditional art depend on adapting to modern aesthetics and audience preferences. To breathe new life into it, he introduced performances that incorporate dance music and cartoon elements.

The troupe has toured over 30 countries and regions across Europe, North America and Southeast Asia, demonstrating the ancient art form to international audiences.

Wang Biao has also collaborated with universities, including the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Southwest Minzu University, Sichuan Normal University and Chengdu University, to offer courses on shadow puppetry, passing on his skills to the next generation.
