Here are two pieces of news that Annie collected for her report.
Papier-mâché is works of art that are made of paper.
In Taiwan, it is known as zhizha and is usually burned as
a gift for dead people. Taiwan’s papier-mâché is dying
because it is not much needed now. However, this dying
art won a Frenchman’s heart when he visited the island.
He then invited one of the papier-mâché shops, Hsin
Hsin Paper Offering Store, to show their beautiful works
in France. The shop owner’s son also used papiermâché in a way that no one ever thought of—making a
movie with it.
Stan Lai is very important in Taiwan’s theater. He brought changes to Chinese
theater art of the old days to make it closer to our life experiences and easier to
understand. One of his most famous works is That Evening,
We Performed Crosstalk (1985). It was such a smash hit that
people became interested again in xiangsheng, a show of funny
talk between two actors. This art used to be a hobby that only
a few people shared, but Lai has opened a bigger market for it.
Now it has fans across all ages.
【題組】28. What do we know from the news?
