    "Laowai" in China | French artistic director makes Chinese ancient town aglow with fireworks

    (240606) -- WANZAI, June 6, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Dec. 1, 2022 shows an installation designed by Sophie Poirier for a fireworks show. Sophie Poirier, a French artistic director of Wanzai Kaleidoscope Culture and Tourism Company, has been obsessed with Chinese culture since she was a child. In her childhood, she often fantasized that she was a Chinese princess. In 1991, as a designer of ECA2, a well-known French large-scale event maker, Poirier went to the Beijing Amusement Park and brought her very first dreamlike laser water curtain film to the Chinese audience. She has also designed performances for many well-known tourist destinations. Though Poirier has extensive experience in performance design, she fell in love with the small stage of Wanzai, an ancient town with nearly a 1,400-year history of producing fireworks, following a collaboration invitation of Zeng Ming, general manager of Wanzai Kaleidoscope Culture and Tourism Company. Poirier teamed up with Zeng's company to develop f

          (240607) -- BEIJING, June 7, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Zhu Jiang shows a piece of colorful carved lacquer artwork at his studio in Beijing, capital of China, June 5, 2024. Carved lacquer, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), greeted its peak time in Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Beijing and Yangzhou have become the two centers for the craft of carved lacquer, which was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2006. Carved lacquer differs in its colors, namely red, black or multiple colors. Its making procedures include designing, body shaping, lacquer making, coating, drawing, carving and grinding. The craftsman needs to smoothly use various kinds of knives to carve patterns on the ware, and even a little miss can destroy the whole artwork. The craft can only be grasped through three to five years of practice. Therefore, it is also called "the art of time." Born in 1976, Zhu Jiang, an inheritor of the cr

            (240607) -- HEFEI, June 7, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Ding Ding checks the Guest-Greeting Pine conditions with a monitoring system at the Huangshan Mountain scenic area in east China's Anhui Province, June 4, 2024. The Guest-Greeting Pine is a famous landmark on Huangshan Mountain. The 10-meter-tall pine, whose roots sprang from the rocks on the UNESCO world heritage site, stands at an altitude of more than 1,600 meters. Its most recognizable feature is a long branch extending like an outstretched arm in a welcoming gesture. In the 1980s, a post to oversee the Guest-Greeting Pine was created, responsible for the daily care and observation of the remarkable millenary tree. In 2016, Ding Ding became one of the guardians of the Guest-Greeting Pine, assisting Hu Xiaochun, the 19th guardian of the pine. They are not only colleagues, but also mentor and apprentice. Everyday, Ding Ding started the patrol at 6:30 in the morning and conducted it every two hours, observing subtle changes in branches, leave
