21、Can you understand the following words? “Long time no see.” “Good good study, day day up.”

“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.”

Yes, we call these examples Chinglish, like “people mountain, people sea”.

Chinglish usually means English vocabulary with Chinese grammar on street signs or products. However, many English speaking tourists love them. Tom has been living in Beijing for years. “I think many Chinese people dislike Chinglish. But I love it. It’s quite interesting. I think if the translations of English in China are all perfect, something will be lost from Chinese culture.” However, Chinglish will probably become a part of history in future. Beijing has made a plan to correct Chinglish within five years. “It is so funny to see Chinglish on the signs. And they are a kind of trouble for communication between the Chinese and foreigners,” a Beijinger said.

However, some people in China like Chinglish. They think that English has “borrowed” a lot from other languages such as German, French and Spanish in the past, and now as Chinese’s turn.

23、   Beijing Opera is one of the most important opera styles in China. It is an art on the stage. It has about 200 years’ history. It is not only a treasure of the Chinese nation but also a cultural symbol of China. Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is  also called the “Oriental(东方的) Opera” by western people.

Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age, profession and social status. Hangdang is the general term for role types in Beijing Opera. There are four types of roles in Beijing Opera today. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou. The sheng is the male protagonist, the dan the female protagonist, the jing(painted face) a male supporting role with different characteristics, and chou(clown) a comic or negative figure. Each kind of role has their own face-painting and dressing to indicate their identities.

The opera’s performance requires not only the mellow voice but also the proficiency of martial actions. A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practising period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers.

Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family. His life was bitter and he had no opportunity to go to school, so he went to the troupe(剧团) when he was 8 years old to learn the Beijing Opera. Mr Mei was on the stage when he was 11 years old to perform the plays of the Beijing Opera. He has been an opera actor for more than 50 years, performing hundreds of traditional plays and over 30 modern plays. He portrayed many bright and lifelike female figures on the stage and became the model in Chinese Beijing Opera and even within the entire artistic circle.
