2. A British man has learned skills needed to perform Beijing Opera, making the audience enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King.

Ghaffar Pourazar said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest about China. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingyu Theatre Company of Beijing.

In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows.
