Chinese Opera

Well, in Frank and Manjit's going away drink the second day (the celebration lasted for 2 days), Frank did several crying gestures when being asked how he feels about leaving Sungard. Very interesting, his movement looked very opera-like. Maybe it has something to do with the fact he is from Beijing, where Chinese Opera was formulated.

Chinese Opera is far away from reality (just like most other performing art forms), its world is narrow and neat, built on the dirt-free moral system. Characters speak out their mind but language is not enough. The costume, the pattern of make-up, even crying has its rhythm - a chain of marble balls, from large to small...

Would like to study more on this subject...
