I went out for dinner with my family today, and we were fortunate enough to watch the Chinese performance “Face Changing” up close. Although the viewing time is not long, we were very happy!

“Face-changing” is an important sub-genre of Chinese Sichuan opera. Actors paste several pre-drawn color face masks on their faces. During the performance, according to the needs of the plot, they use hidden silk threads to change the face masks instantly without the audience noticing.
