I was in Chinatown San Francisco on 4th September and came across this opera-type singing. This elderly gentleman was singing a cantonese classic song of a beggar who was hungry and cold, asking for help.
He was probably in his seventies but he did the song so well and people were so touched! Even americans gave donations as I believe they were touched by him!!
Enjoy!!
lots of learning points here:
1. Retention of native culture - thousands of miles from his/her home-town
2. Modern technology allows this phenomenon within a single life-time
3. People from the same "tribe" making donations ... apparently strong resonance
