It was absolutely not the theater that I had thought it to be. On an open and spacious square outside a courtyard, more than ten young men with dark complexion, sweat towels wrapped around their heads, and cloth belts tied at their waists were either wiping off their sweats with the cloth belts at their waists or twisting Yangge, a traditional Chinese folk dance. Two pretty girls were whispering beside their ears, not knowing what funny things they had talked about, and then covered their mouths to smile slyly.

Although it was already the beginning of autumn at that time, the sunshine near noon was still very scorching. After standing for a little while, dense sweat beads appeared on my body, head and face. My head was also dizzy due to the sunburn.

Suddenly, a loud and high-pitched voice came into my ear drum, like a waterfall pouring down along my head, which immediately woke me up from the dizziness. All the pores on my body were wide open, and all the hairs on my body stood up straight as well.
