Description
writing on water
Before I came to Beijing, I used to think Chinese are very reserve not wanted to attracted attentions. I am very impress with the Chinese seniors here in beijing. They are constanly out and about full with engery. One of the activity I seen they do is to practice calligraphy. Instead of with brush and paper, they use a four foot long brush with the tip made with spoonge material. They would dip the brush into water and let it soaks up water and then write on the stone pavement. As their writings dry under the sun and disappear. they would repeat it all again. I was told it can help them to impove on the mobility, strength of their wrist and also the art of calligarphy.
At night in the downtown large spaces outside the big shopping centre. A group would perform song and dance for the public.They seem to be a well organized group came with music, speakers and mircophone, usually attract a large crowd when they perfrom. They sing from Chinese opera, old love song to folk songs not unlike an open air karaoke. This group of mainly women with few men would perform a well reheared dance numbers, everyone seem to knew all the steps and turns. They would sing and dance late into the night.
