Beijing Opera is one of the Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”. It is especially popular in south China during the 18th century.

Theatrical(戏剧的) forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on stage; there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play; in a dance drama, the dancer doesn’t speak or sing. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment. It includes spoken parts, singing and dancing.

Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries.

“You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted by Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience in watching Beijing Opera.

Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera!

Students attend a science lesson given by astronauts on board China’s Tiangong space station on Wednesday, March 23, 2022. Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, the members of the Shenzhou XIII, which was launched (发射) on October 16, appear on television screens watched by millions of students across China.

During the 41-minute lesson, the astronauts did four experiments to show physical phenomena (现象) only possible in a weightless environment, such as “liquid crystallization” and “a water bridge”. In one experiment, Wang used a toy of Bing Dwen Dwen, the master of the 2022 Beijing winter Olympic Games, to show how objects fly in Tiangong. They invited the young viewers to do similar experiments to see the differences between space and land environment.

Before closing the lesson, the astronauts answered questions from students. The questions covered the life and work in space, such as how to take care of the skin and whether hot water was available.

Wednesday’s event marked the third time Wang had taken part in a space lesson. In June 2013, she gave the nation’s first space lesson to over 60 million Chinese students in Shenzhou X. It made China the second country, following the United States, to have given a lesson to schoolchildren from space.

In early December, Wang gave the country’s second space lesson from the Tiangong station. The astronauts showed viewers how they lived and worked inside the space station.

“These science lessons can encourage students to explore the world of science and technology.” Shi Yi, a physics teacher, said after today’s activity, “Encouraged by China’s spaceflight achievements, my school has built a space science laboratory and the teacher give lessons about space exploration.”

On a sunny day, three old men knocked on the door of the small and old house. When a woman opened the door, she found she never met them before. She said, “I don’t think I know you, but you look tired. Please come in and have a rest.”

“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.

“Why?” she asked.

One of the old men explained, “His name is Wealth, and he is Success, and I am Love. You need to discuss with your family which one you want to invite.”

The woman went back into the house and told her husband about it. Her husband was very happy. “How nice!” he said. “Let us invite Wealth. He can fill our home with wealth!” His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” Their daughter suggested, “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will be filled with love.” “Let us take our daughter’s advice,” said the husband. Then, the woman went out and invited Love.

Love got up and walked into the house. The other two also got up and followed him. The woman asked Wealth and Success in surprise, “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?”

The old man replied together, “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out. But since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”
