李涛:
Mike, Have you ever seen a Peking Opera? 
迈克:
Of course. Peking Opera is kind of symbol of China. I suppose every foreigner would manage to see one.  
李涛:
Definitely. What do you think of Peking Opera?  
迈克:
Well, it is an admirable art and at the same time a difficult abstract art.  
李涛:
So it is. Peking Opera synthesizes music, drama, dancing, and acrobatics along with very elaborate costumes and a minimum of props, according to traditions and customs dating back as far as the twelfth century.  
迈克:
Oh, I don't know that! You guys are lucky to have such wonderful heritage. 
李涛:
Yes,we are. But there are not many fans of Peking Opera left. Many people are worried about its future.  
迈克:
That is a common problem for all classic arts. But I believe there will always be some people who like it and pass it on to the next generation.  
李涛:
So do I. Listen, let's go to see a Peking Opera together some time!  
迈克:
No problem
