(click on photo to enlarge)Waterfront: Cantonese opera recital
The temporary bamboo and tin open-air stage erected on the waterfront late last week has hosted a series of evening recitals of Cantonese opera. Tonight was the last night.
Apparently, the event may have had something to do with celebrating the birthday of second century (AD) Chinese military general, Guan Yu (關羽).
The general's status has escalated over time so that these days he is, among other things, the patron saint of policemen, and criminals.
A French intellectual: "Professional criminals are artists; policemen are their critics." Bob Dylan: "To live outside the law, you must be honest." Discuss.
