Today
is the second day of the public show. Since it is Sunday, Hong Kong
Time Square is so bustling that people jostle each other in the
crowd. On account of that, there are more people enclose the displaying
stage than yesterday.
A 50-year-old lady, who was interested in "Zhang's Painted Clay
Figurines" very much, looked every works up and down in front of
the displaying stage. Pointing a pair of "virgin boy and maiden",
she said: "These are bridegroom and bride." Listening her words,
journalist couldn't help smiling, which made this lady embarrassed.
She said in a hurry:" This is the first time for me to see this
thing. Seeing so happy they are and their beautiful red dress, I
think they must be bridegroom and bride." The journalist explained
for her. Then she said: "So that's how it is! How beautiful they
are! I like them very much. And there are so many stories about
them. People of Tianjin are so deft that can make clay figurines
lifelike. Not only this one, but the Fried Dough Twists and the
baby holding a carp in Yangliuqing New Year Pictures are very interesting."
After every fashion and acrobatics show, children will sent flowers
to audiences. These Chinese roses convey the greetings of Tianjin
people to Hong Kong citizens. A five-yare-old girl came here to
watch public show with her mother. When a little sister gave her
a flower, the girl said using unskillful common spoken Chinese:"
Where do you come from?" "I come from Tianjin. This is the city
flower of Tianjin." the little sister answered. "Oh, Tianjin, Where
is it?" "Tianjin is far away from here, in north. When you grow
up, you can go there and know it is a big city, too." her mother
told her. After her mother's explanation, the girl said nodding:"
Ma, I want to go there. Tianjin should be very interesting."
