This stark image of a Chinese opera tent sitting amid us is a stark reminder that something from our distant past may soon sprout wings and fly into our history books.
Maybe it is easier to talk about lost heritage than to try to preserve them.
I am not sure if someone with higher authority is doing something in the background to help these troupes or are their hands tied because of trying to maintain secularism. Or maybe the troupes don't need intervention at all. It is just in my mind when i see this image.:bsmilie:
While there are opera troupes performing on stage, it's flavor is different. It is not street opera.
It is like hanging a work of art meant for a historical site in another location. Something is lost.
It is indeed easier to talk about these things.
It is indeed easier to talk about lost heritage than to preserve them. Maybe in another 5 years down the road, we may not see these troupes anymore. Only the photos are left of showing what it was like.
