    I laughed so hard.

    2 Chinese boys are popular "stars" on the internet in China.

    they perform by pretending to sing other's songs.

    this clip is just hilarious,

    different colors of faces and different ways of laughing.

    red face of Guan Gong.

    yellow face of Yue Fei.

    white face of Cao Cao.

    black face of Zhang Fei.

    golden color of the monkey king (Su wu kong)

    silver color of a monster.

    --

    laugh out loud. Xiao Ha Ha---

    this piece of music is about ambush from 10 fronts. Chu's king Xiang Yu was surrounded by Han's Liu Bang near Wu river.

    my point is that there are a lot of play/opera, music, poems, folklores about fighting.

    They are in fact mere bugbears of an irreverent generation, spoon-fed on disrespect, ignorance, stupidity, and musical shamanism. I would like to take them into my newly formed Aishida Kim Shaolin Ninjitsu program in order to teach them what it means to have discipline. They have the spirit of the laughing hyena, but the mind of the tiger, and the spirit of the tiger eye cuts through their antics, much as the judo katana cuts through the kendo bamboo, to reveal what it is that they represent: they are like the dung beetle heaped upon the dung, searching for the Buddha in the heights of Songshan, but blinded by the reek of the foul yak's morning halitus.

    Do not laugh at their mimicry.

    I luv this one, too.

    the flute note first appeared in 1425.

    plum flower in 3 states/spirits.

    the same note in 3 different/tones/tunes?!

    thus the name is plum flower in 3 states/notes or mei hua san non.

    plum flower in 3 notes.

    indicating the character of a good person will be like a pure, white, clean plum flower standing out in the snow.

    your character is good like the smell/fragrance of plum flower overwhelming the nose.

    whether you practice MA or not.

    I think the 2 backhouse boys are just having fun.

    they entertain themself in the process also entertain others.

    can't resist to watch their facial expressions and comical moves.

    playing a monkey act or shua hou xi or mimicking others.

    --

    yes, for most, opera, classical music, practicing MA or posting in the forums are having fun, too,

    but most important, it is about the freedom to express/

    work and play.
