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.

Greetings,

I saw Peking Opera for the first time on Good Morning America many years ago. San Cha Kou was performed:
