3 (visit) Wuzhen. During his stay in the town, he saw the fish 4 (feed) by people and some fish sculpted on the wall. These sights made the idea for Floating Fish into reality.
The Chinese 5 (compose), Tan Dun, is well known for composing music for the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Tan’s music is a mix of Chinese 6 (music) traditions and Western influences. He once said that Chinese music should carry “universal expression” of the human spirit so as to be recognized by the whole world.
Yang Liping is a great dancer, known 7 the “Peacock Princess”. She was inspired by the experience of living in Xishuangbanna, 8 gave her 9 opportunity to know more about the lives of various ethnic groups. Her dance comes from the traditional belief of the Dai people and 10 (aim) to show the Dai women’s beauty.
