which might help minimize your probation
Posted: 08 Apr 2018, 01:28MADRID , June 30 (Xinhua) -- Opera can work as a "bridge" between cultures, noted Chinese opera singer He Hui has said.
The soprano made her remarks in an interview with Xinhua at the Teatro Real in Madrid, where she is performing the leading role in Giacomo Puccini's famous opera "Madame Butterfly".
Madame Butterfly tells the tragic story of a 15-year-old Geisha girl, Cio Cio-San and her love for an American sailor , whom she marries only for him to leave and return three years later with a new wife, breaking Butterfly's heart and leading her to take her own life.
This Opera sees Asian culture and Western culture meet, she told Xinhua.
The Chinese singer has been a professional for 19 years and has played the role of Cio Cio-San (Madame Butterfly) on 153 occasions, so she knows the role very well.
"I understand what happens inside her heart , from being a 15 year old Geisha until she becomes a woman with a child and decides to kill herself," she said, adding that Madame Butterfly's first line in the opera is "my name is love ... and in the end she dies for love".
"For me it is very easy to understand the story... when a woman loves a man, she only loves one man and she loves him for all her life , Cio Cio-San is so pure and at the end she decides to kill herself, because she cannot live without love," He said.
He's career has given her a unique perspective on the role and on opera in general. After training in Xi'an, most of her 19-year career has been spent in Europe and her first performance as a soprano in her homeland only came in 2012 when she performed in Verdi's "Masked Ball" in Guangzhou.
"I am between the two cultures -- Chinese and Western , all the time," she told Xinhua, explaining she had also performed Verdi's Aida over 150 times.
"It is one of the most famous roles of my career. So when I am in the West, my Aida has some oriental feeling for the audience. But when I return to China , I am able to bring my experience to China and the people enjoy that," she said.
She explained that Chinese opera houses differ from those in the West in one major way -- the age of the people who work there and who go to enjoy the operas.
"The special thing in China is that the people who work in the theater and who go to the Opera are all very young. They are about 30 years old, which is very different from Europe," she explained.
However , she believes that despite its slightly stuffy reputation, opera can offer much more than most people imagine.
"I think Opera is one language for people all over the world, because of the emotions: the heart, the love and the hate. All people have the same feelings , so opera can be a bridge to Western and Eastern cultures. It is not just for Italians or Americans, or for the Spanish or the Chinese. It is for the entire world."
Finally she spoke about her performances in Madame Butterfly in Madrid, where she is making her debut.
"I have sung this role many times, but every time I try to give something new , something from my heart and to bring emotion to the audience. This is very special because it is my first time in Madrid," she concluded.
VIENTIANE， Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Phase II of the Laos-Thailand railway， which will see the line extended from the suburbs to central Vientiane， is set to resume after the project was suspended in 2011， said local officials.
The line will be built over a distance of 7.5 km to link the track from the outlying Thanalaeng railway station in Hadxaifong district to the inner city， Sonesack N. Nhansana， Deputy Director General of the Lao Railway Department said on Thursday， adding that the government has instructed authorities to resume construction of the railway in line with the original plan.
The project was previously suspended because Lao authorities wanted to study in detail how the 1-meter standard gauge of Laos-Thailand track could be joined to the 1.435-meter standard-gauge track width of the planned Laos-China railway， according to a report by state-run Vientiane Times.
The authorities have now agreed that one of the stations planned for Vientiane as part of the Laos-China railway， which will link Vientiane to the Chinese border， will be built in Thanalaeng village so that the two lines are integrated.
Lao Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith recently visited Thanalaeng railway station where he was briefed on the progress of the Laos-Thailand rail link. The PM suggested to resume construction in 2017.
Sonesack said resumption of the project would be possible and financing was available as Thailand had provided more than 203 billion Lao kip (over 24.85 million U.S. dollars)， of which 30 percent was in the form of a grant and 70 percent was a low-interest loan. Once construction resumes， it will take about two years to complete the project.
Thanalaeng railway station， the only station on Laos' 3.5 km existing railway that runs to Thailand's Nong Khai province， handles 2，500 to 3，000 passengers a month， according to Deputy Head of the Railway Management Division Khamphet Sisamouth， who said that more people were using the service these days.
The railway only transports passengers at present， but freight transport is set to be provided in the near future following completion of a container yard.
