It is raining today in Shanghsingli, and there is a chill dampness in the air. A few hard-core fans, all of them getting on in years, sit in front of the stage with umbrellas in hand, waiting for the show to begin. The actors backstage hurry with their makeup and costumes, so as not to keep the old folks waiting.
滴滴答答下著雨，天氣又溼又冷，台下幾位忠實的老觀眾，撐著傘，坐在台下等戲開演，後台演員見狀趕緊梳妝打扮，唯恐讓老人家等太久。
