Many older people around the world have at least one common concern：How to get younger people，hooked on their electronic devices，interested in classic art.Take the Monkey King，or Sun Wukong，as an example.The main character in the 16th-century classic novel，Journey to the West，is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven，a new Peking Opera film，attracted the wider public to the glamour of the traditional Chinese performance art，featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West.This film，expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera，includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera.It covers all the basic techniques，more than 10 classic tunes，and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures' characteristics.
It's actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film，each of which has its own rhythm，according to Cheng Lu，director of the film，who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form.One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art.The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed.For example，performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion.There are never real horses on stage，and the film reflects that.And when Sun Wukong eats peaches，he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite.
Some background images on stage，such as a painted waterfall，remain，and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film，rather than employing the pre-recorded music. "If we change traditions to cater to people's taste and preference for a regular film，it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art， "Cheng said.
On the other hand，some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance.Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes，such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds.Also，the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras，such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s，but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertajye.aiment.In recent years，there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films.However，the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances.The imagination （enabled by the stage） can never be sacrificed for a film's expression.

1．Hi Judy!
You often complain to me that you always buy goods unreasonably on sale promotion（促銷）and feel it shameful after going back to your school dormitory with new things not needed，considering all the money you spend is your parents' income．
In fact，this is a common phenomenon，called impulsive buying，a buying unplanned and hard to control．It usually happens when a store offers discounts（打折）or sales promotion-a special way used by stores to get more customers，which means you may fall into its traps even without notice．
Stores，with a good knowledge of customers' psychology（心理），make use of it to drive business．Avoiding all the impulsive buying is a hard thing．However，knowing our psychology behind it and reducing the times when influenced by sales promotion may be useful．So you should keep calm when facing the sales promotion by keeping in mind what you really need．
Find out the conditions where you are likely to buy things blindly．When seeing a dress advertised at 20% off，do not concentrate on the discount，but warn yourself against falling into the trap of "saving money''．
Besides，do not forget the long-term effects of your choice when meeting a sales promotion．Short-term benefits，like excited feeling just after buying items encourage impulsive buying．But the long-term costs such as waste of money and the sense of shame really annoy you．When seeing the advertisements，remember what you really want to buy originally and warn yourself of that terrible feeling．Only in this way can you save money for really needed things．
Yours，
Rachel

3．Ever since I graduated from high school I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer.However，making the transformation between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier.For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be unacceptable，getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is suffering.My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There are few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world.People of my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact，all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant，which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear over night.Issues like being laid off and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico，where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts（輪班）in a factory，the other options have become only too clear. "This job pays well，but it's hell on the body，" said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading." she added.When I'm back at the university，skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school.All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale（陳腐的）now ring true.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
