, : , ..., , " " " " , , , , Synopsis: First-time visitors to China would be surprised to see the multi-faceted nature of the country: the stark contrasts between the rural China and the urban China, and between the well-educated and the benighted...China is a place where the nation reveals itself in multi-types of facial make-ups, so to speak, which can be seen in people's interactions and communications with one another -- people could meet with different treatments depending on their social status. This reminds us of the type of performance called "Face-changing", an art form originated in the Sichuan Province. In the performance, an actor reveals himself with numerous "faces" with different colors and motifs, just by turning around so as to block the view of the audience for a split second with his sleeve, a feat invariably marveled at by spectators.
