Liu San Jie

One night we went to watch a show name Liu San Jie. It is a performance by 600 people utilizing the river as their stage, with moutains and hills as their backdrop. Spotlights mounted by the hills were used with some reflection of the river become the ever-changing natural background.
All the audiences sat at the open air seats. with no shade. And on that day itself, by noon time, there was a short heavy pour, unlike our Malaysian rain which comes with thunder storm. So the tour guide told us that we were very lucky as once it rained in the noon time, it would not rain at night, and we can enjoy our show with some cold breeze. However, before we went up to the bus, there was another pour. Mother was complaining all the way...and keep mumbling " how to watch the show with heavy rain ??!!" . But eventually we still proceed with our plan. When we reached outside the natural theater, it was still drizzling. Each of us was given a disposable rain coat.
As we were queueing up, mother quickly wore her rain coat, and then, the rain stopped. And she felt so hot with the plastic all over her body. I asked her to take it out, but she was too lazy to do so, and told me that maybe it would rain again, so she "standby" first. And yes, she was right, when we were watching the show halfway through, it rained again.... And that was my ever first experience watching an outdoor performance under the rain with a thin blue plastic rain coat. An unforgetable experience though...
