Chinese folk art photos released on Expo Day 100

An artist from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is in tears when playing last time for Expo 2010 during the closing ceremony of the Guangxi Week. They highly valued every opportunity to perform and they even performed in rains on stage.

A retrospect picture show was held at Baosteel Grand Stage yesterday marking the 100th day of the Expo period.

The pictures show covers 19 folk art weeks such as the Beijing Week, Tianjin Week and Hebei Week. The photos included officials’ inspections, stars’ volunteering services, common artists’ Expo dream, the sibling-like relation among Expo staff members and faces at Intangible Cultural Heritage and traditional craft teaching areas.

One of the highlights was a smiling family from United States, who had just finished a lesson of learning some tricks of Chinese folk art and took Chinese painted opera masks and pictures made of crop stalks.

The Baosteel Grand Stage also released a music video recorded by 25 Chinese folk singers with the theme “the people from other countries have a look at China”.
