Book Tag
Kim tagged me to pick up the closest book, go to page 123 and quote line 6-8.
Since the nearest book "Creating a Treasure for the Adopted Child" didn't have 123 pages, I had to go to the coffee table. No, I didn't use the China photo collection coffee table book or the Complete Works of Shakespeare my SIL Dannette placed so beautifully on the table to impress my SW at my homestudy!
Luckily I have "The Ch'i-Lin Purse: A Collection of Ancient Chinese Stories" Retold by Linda Fang out right now. This is one of the many fabulous reads and gifts that my Aunt Karen sent me (you know the aunt you all wanted to adopt you?!)
Page 123 is the glossary (Guess since grad school I don't read very long books, hehehe!)
Peking Opera: one of the major schools of Chinese opera dating back almost two hundred years. Peking opera is known for its singing, gestures, monologues and wu-kung (martial arts), and draws heavily on mime. It inherited many traditional stories from storytelling texts and from scripts by the great playwright Kuan Han-ch'ing, who flourished during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
My adoption agency flies to Hong Kong so it doesn't look like I'll get to visit Bejing and walk the GW. I hope I'll at least get to go to the Opera!
C'mon Stork!
