Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure (围场) pleased with the little animals while their parents shop. A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me.

But can you imagine Jia and Lin singing operas in English instead of speaking poetic (有诗意的) Chinese? Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes and stage settings. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.” 24. Where was the opera first performed? A. In Beijing. B. In Changsha. C. In San Francisco, US. 25. Why did the art director use water around Lin? A. To help the people better understand Lin’s character. B. To make the stage more beautiful and attractive. C.
