“I must say this activity is not for everyone, and if you not into old Chinese movies that have some degree of musical or theatrical you won’t understand/enjoy this piece. I loved it as the actors were amazing and demonstrated some kung fu style opera which was great and the story was easily understood with subtitles on the side screens. ( can we commend the actors from me please as they were great and I want them to know this old culture is getting lost not only in China but all countries and I want them to know to carry on the great work). Simply amazing if you like all…”
