        The Chinese classic work of literature "A Dream of Red Mansions" has been adapted into a number of stage and screen versions over the years. Artists from the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre made the classic back in 2011. And now the triennial(三年一次) China Arts Festival is recognizing their work.

        Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest forms of opera still existing in China, with its origins dating back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). It has distinguished itself by its rhythmic patterns and has had a key influence on all the more recent forms of opera in China, including the Sichuan and Beijing operas.

        In 2001, UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization)announced Kunqu Opera as a masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (a UNESCO program that ensures the best of every country's traditions is preserved and developed as well as made known to the outside world).

        Kunqu Opera, acknowledged as an outstanding opera, has suffered somewhat of a decline since the eighteenth century because it requires a high level of technical knowledge from the audience. Today, it is facing competition from mass culture and a lack of interest among the young. Of the 400 arias(唱腔) regularly sung in opera performances in the mid-20th century, only a few dozen are still performed. More information, please click here.

         Ever felt like destroying the car in front of you when you're
    stuck in an endless traffic jam?
         Well ,the Spanish company StopStress is offering clients(客户 )
    the possibility of doing just that-but in controlled ,safe conditions.
         Clients can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets
    in what the company calls" destructible therapy" ( therapy : treatment
    of a medical disorder).
         "We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern
    life,"company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone inter-
    view. "People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the ma-
    chines until they are tired out. "he explained.
         The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Soria, uses
    deserted cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite
    the clients. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and
    huge hammers.
         Most people's rage only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go
    on for hours : they beat cars on which they've put the names of people
    or ideas they would like to get rid of.
         "Some even get together to turn the car over, "Arribas says. A
    session costs 60 euros(US $80)per person.
         Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble
    parking his car.
         "Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people
    become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down,"
    Arribas explained.
         "It's better to channel violence in a controlled way than to get
    it out on one's husband and wife or in a traffic jam. "he added.
         StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is
    planning to extend its market beyond Spain's borders.
