Last week we went to a just opened restaurant here in Dalian. The restaurant had a little stage in the middle and some posters (of Mao) on the walls. After ordering our food, the show started. It first started off in singing some old songs, some dancing, some talking. Nothing special really, but then again I'm used to all these kinds of shows nowadays. The real action came when they started doing a little skit on the Japanese invaders in China. I didn't understand everything what they were saying, but what I did hear was "Death to all the imperialistic Japs" and we were asked to yell along with them. The person that pretended to be the Japanese invader got killed on stage for like three times with a big cleaver by a person that represented the Chinese soldiers. At this point, I was very very happy that our Japanese friends didn't come tonight to have dinner with us. They would probably be lynched right on the spot, also considering the crowds' reaction when they yelled "Death to all the imperialistic Japs"
Unfortunately we weren't allowed (surprise surprise) to take any pictures of the show.
