Excellent. I really need this.

The ceremony was very impressive, but as a foreigner I found impossible to truly comprehend. I suspect this may be because my country has only a little over 150 years of ordinary history, while China has 5,000 years of glorious history.

Or it can be said : the fantastic culture? the mysterious culture? the meaningful culture? or others?

Time for Peking Opera. Because if there’s anything with international appeal, it’s drums, gongs, and caterwauling transvestites.

a Beautiful wish!...
It is difficult for us to catch the lines of operas sometimes.
But If you really sit down and see the plot then you do feel the storyline
