Life is like a play, and a play is like life.

Everyone has a play of his own, not because of the beautiful melody of the tune, nor because of the beautiful meaning of the lyrics, but because this song has its own story! The beautiful expectation in the story will turn into a dream, and then I am eager to turn the dream into reality and the fantasy in the song into reality. From now on, life will be beautiful because of dreams.

For people who go to the theatre in this era, going to the theatre is generally cynical. I, on the other hand, am an exception! In my hometown, every year on the third day of March, a theater will be set up at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, and many grateful tunes will be added to this season by singing opera. People will invite relatives and friends to watch a play at home in the name of watching a play. The most touching thing is that the old people who are married from other villages and live near the theater will take their parents' old people to see the opera of this traditional program. Old people have a special liking for traditional Chinese opera. When they see the joys and sorrows in the drama, they will cry their eyes out, and they will pursue it like young people. Someone once laughed at the scene of the theater and said, "Singers are crazy and audiences are fools." In fact, life is like a drama, and drama is like life. On the stage, the joys and sorrows in the play are interpreted, and the full moon is full. Life under the stage is also an interpretation of impermanence of life and impermanence of things. In my opinion, people are actually quite lonely when they are old. They are used to hard work and simplicity. They don't deliberately get together like young people, and generally don't go to live with married girls. In this traditional festival, every family receives the old people to watch the opera to make up for their filial piety, and the old people also take this opportunity to get together and contact the feelings of the older generation for a long time. Talk about the past and ask about the present life. Their tearful eyes trembled and groped for each other's palms in the theater, which was the most touching!

Young people meet to go to the theatre, mostly by playing cards, or just by accompanying the elderly to add atmosphere, and then they become low-headed. The people who really go to the theatre are elderly people. When chatting with my friends, I never shy away from my love for Chu Opera, although I fully understand what their wide mouths and eyes contain. I accepted all their surprises, puzzled and even indulged in the dramatic life performed on the stage, telling them word by word: "I love watching movies!" " "I like to accompany my mother to the theatre, just as my mother and several aunts are trying to get food and shelter for my grandmother to come to the theatre. My grandmother is hard of hearing, and my mother always takes pains to explain to her in the theater. My grandmother is always vague when she answers, uh-huh, and sometimes she plays jokes on the old people next to her. On March 3 this year, grandma left. When I saw the scene of the old people comforting each other in the theater, my ears also recalled my grandmother's voice: "Well ... how many descendants do you have, how good your sons and wives are (hometown dialect), and then praised them anyway! Mother saw the trembling old man come to the theater and tears appeared in her eyes. I took my mother's arm and leaned against her, then looked at the stage and thought silently.

After setting the venue for the elders, my companions all went to the game in groups of three and five to chat, but I became one with these rural fathers and mothers-in-law. Before the play began, I seemed to know them very well and enjoyed listening to them chat. After the opening ceremony, like an old woman, I will follow the folks in "Going to the Opera" who came to the theatre and explain the drama life to them in very simple language. This is now, and I used to be a little ashamed to admit my hobbies. Perhaps you are afraid of being labeled as "antique", or perhaps you are afraid that your unique hobby will push you into the ranks of different kinds? Maybe both.

Now, I can walk leisurely between piles of gray cloth shoes and silver-haired old women wearing tidal clothes, regardless of my own discomfort, looking for the best position, just to see a play.

For me, the interest in watching plays during the day is far less than that in the evening. During the day, the movie theaters in rural areas are full of people, and all kinds of food stalls are sold one after another. Children and young people who don't like movies run around the world. If the weather is dry and smoky, it always makes people fidget. Unlike at night, the lively children all went home to sleep, leaving only the stalls selling melon seeds to set up lights. The venue was dark and crowded with people, except for the crackling of eating melon seeds and whispering before the performance. The night is dim, only the stage is brightly lit, dazzling like Yaochi fairyland under the shady sky, which makes people want to fly to the stage with wings under their arms!

Really, if you can occupy a good position not far from the stage, it will be the happiest thing for people watching the drama. I not only like the gorgeous costumes of the actors, but also want to see their handsome faces. In my childhood memory, what fascinates me most is the little man dressed as a woman. Besides, women must dress up as women. They are handsome in appearance, with fine features, full of heroic spirit, soft with rigidity, not burly but tall and straight, with delicate voices and generous and delicate. Singing and playing a performance almost stole my soul, so that for many years, dressing up as a woman was my dream.

Old theater fans who know the theater probably prefer to call "watching the theater" "watching the opera". Because opera is, after all, the art of sound. When I was a child, I didn't listen. I only paid attention to the gorgeous decorations of the actors, the oil paints on their faces, and even took a close look at their white, slender and well-articulated hands. Look at their dancing sleeves, pearls all over their heads, feathers stuck in their heads, thick-soled soap boots, and even lean over to see them waiting at the edge of the stage and after. When I was a child, my father knew my obsession with opera. No matter how busy and tired I am during the day, I will never forget to take me to a venue at night. Maybe I have some talent for opera. I tried my best to imitate singing. In my childhood memory, my figure and singing skills were always praised by my elders. Today is March 3rd. A theater was set up under the aqueduct in my hometown. The elders of the neighboring villages met their parents. They even talked and laughed, saying how I wore colorful sheets when I was a child, played the young man in the theater on the slate at the door, and even made a cup of green tea in my spare time during busy farming. Being teased by several opera fans to alleviate their lack and greed. I thought how ashamed I was and how narcissistic I was! When I grew up, I unconsciously turned my attention to listening. I can gradually hear the difference between a bad actor and a good actor. A good actor's voice is loud and exciting, and can be released freely, from low to bright, as smooth as silk, as white as jade, without any impurities. Speaks clearly and methodically penetrate the eardrum, and every word splashes in people's hearts. The more seemingly meaningless "hey", "yo", "yi" and "ya", the more we can see his singing skills. At this time, the audience must be applauding. I am always moved and satisfied by this harmonious scene. This harmonious scene is my best artistic expression, and it is also my absorbed appreciation and response.

Traditional things will always be forgotten by people in the washing of time. People often say that uselessness is sentimental, but I still cling to these things. I have experienced countless details in my life, many of which seem insignificant, but after long-term accumulation, I will show many unexpected growth. In the years of growing up, I never changed my true nature, but I became myself more and more clearly, and I also showed my personality in the hearts of others. If our life is mediocre, when we look back and look forward to the rest of our lives, the beautiful past and love that can stop and stop are the most real, and that truth will make mediocrity sprout hope and make our life less boring.
