Here are two pieces of news that Annie collected for her report.
News 1: Papier-mâché is works of art that are made of paper. In Taiwan, it is known as zhizhu and is usually burned as a gift for dead people. Taiwan’s papier-mâché is dying because it is not much needed now. However, this dying art won a Frenchman’s heart when he visited the island. He then invited one of the papier-mâché shops, Hsin Hsin Paper Offering Store, to show their beautiful works in France. The shop owner’s son also used papier-mâché in a way that no one ever thought of-making a movie with it.
News 2: Stan Lai is very important in Taiwan’s theater. He brought changes to Chinese theater art of the old days to make it closer to our life experiences and easier to understand. One of his most famous works is That Evening We Performed Crosstalk (1985). It was such a smash hit that people became interested again in xiangsheng, a show of funny talk between two actors. This art used to be a hobby that only a few people shared, but Lai has opened a bigger market for it. Now it has fans across all ages.
