A British man has learned the skills needed to perform Beijing Opera, making the audience(观众)enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King.
Ghaffar Pourazar, born in Iran, said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest about China. In 1993, for the first time, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London. Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, and excellent shows. So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school.
The 32-year-old young man had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist(腰). At the time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest problem.
But he never gave up.
Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West. He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character.
Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect(方言)but also has built a fame(名声)for Beijing Opera. He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King.
To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the US, Britain and other countries.
