Falling in Love with Beijing Opera
My name is Lingling. When I was six, my grandfather introduced Beijing opera to me, and I fell in love with it immediately.
I like Beijing opera for many reasons. First, the actors wear colorful masks. Each color stands for a different type of character. For example, a red mask means a goood person, and a white mask means a bad person.

Second, I think the acting of the different roles is really amazing. There are four main roles in Beijing opera—Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou. Each plays its part in its own way. Third, I like the singing style and the music. The singing style of Beijing opera is very popular among its fans, and the traditional Chinese instruments like erhu and sanxian make the music so pleasant to the ear.
I hope more people around the world can enjoy this great art.

Falling in Love with Traditional Calligraphy
My name is Junfeng. When I was young, my father introduced traditional calligraphy to me, and I fell in love with it immediately.
I like calligraphy best for many reasons. First, the writing tool is special. Writing top of pen or pencils is hard, but the top of traditional calligraphy is soft. It is a kind of brush with magic. Second, I think the different types are really beautiful. There are five main types — Zhuan, Li, Kai, Xing, Cao. Each stands for a period of time. Characters are like dancing in calligraphy works. Famous calligraphers have their own styles. Third, traditional calligraphy has important functions. It's a symbol of Chinese culture. Creating calligraphy can also relax us. It plays an amazing part in health.
I hope the traditional calligraphy will be more popular among young people and around the world.
