China has a history of 5000 years. The first emperor to unite China was Qin Shi Huang in 221 BC.

China has a rich history of literature, poetry and calligraphy.

Chinese passion for art is evident in traditional music and dance.

The most representative one is the Peking Opera, combining music, vocal performance, dance and acrobatics.

With these two mini Peking Opera actor and actress in the time capsule, the next 5000 years will never be boring…
