Sorry to everyone, but I won't allow more comments in this video because I don't want it becomes another forum of angry mainland Chinese saying what we must think about their country and culture. I'm very happy doing what I do and loving this kind of art manifestations. Thanks to all.

I've been reading books about MeiLanFang,thanks for uploading this wonderful pictures and music(from him too?). I want to let you know how important your work means to me and people who want to be educated on the art of the Chinese Opera. Knowing Mei brings me back to an interesting time of China.

Why? Are you working in Guantanamo and need some material to torture prisoners with? If so, good choice!

Are you kidding? I've been living in China during two years and a half and I can tell you, Chinese people don't know about Beijing Opera. Most of them think is boring, strange, old fashion. Sorry, if you want to know about Chinese Culture, you should go to the right places:cultural institutes, specialized net sites, and with the right people. Being Chinese doesn't mean knowing about Chinese Culture.

Same thing is true about Muricans... for example, few could tell you who Charles Ives was.

Beijing opera is the highest of all performing arts in China. It is a shame that this great art form is not appreciated so much there.
