Similar to the western operas, the Beijing Opera is a combination of singing, dancing, martial arts, music and literature, so it is also called the “Oriental Opera” by western people. Beijing Opera uses special imagery in creating the characters. All roles are divided according to sex, personality, age and profession and social status.

A successful opera actor must suffer from the tough practicing period. In the old time, the children of poor families were sent to the opera group in order to earn a living. While now, the real opera artists are well respected by opera lovers. Mei Lanfang, one of the most remarkable performing artists in Beijing Opera, was born in Beijing into a poor family.

They dont move; they dont make sounds; they dont seem to act on anything. But as is often the case, plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.Over the years, scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, give out chemicals into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings can spread information about one plants disease or infestation, so other plants can protect themselves. But how plants receive and act on many of the information exactly is still mysterious.In this weeks Science Magazine, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They have found out one chemical message and traced it all the way from beginning to end.The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a common pest. To start out, they grew plants in two separate plastic spaces connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and the other was uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed to the pest. The results showed that plants near sick neighbors before were able to protect themselves better against the pest.They found one chemical appeared more often in the exposed plants. The chemical is called Hex Vic. The scientists discovered where Hex Vic come from, and put it over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to produce Hex Vic. Researchers made sure that uninfested plants could fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to protect thems
