Traditional Chinese Puppet Opera



Last night I saw the temple next to my Mom's house in Melaka was having a traditional Chinese Puppet Opera performance. This performance is held in conjunction with the temple deities celebration. The last time I saw this puppet opera was ages ago. Such performance is almost in extinction. Not many young people understand them. So with great joy I went to watch it and manage to capture some photos to share here.

Have you seen any puppet show? Have you seen one like this?

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
