A British man has learned the skills needed to perform Beijing Opera， making the audience （观众） enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King．

    Ghaffar Pourazar， born in Iran， said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest about China． In 1993， he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing． Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices， colorful costumes， excellent shows and so on． So after one year， he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school．

    At the age of 32， he had to learn with teenage students every day， starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist． At the time， he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera． To him， it was the biggest obstacle． But he never gave up．

    Four years later， he began to learn to perform the Monkey King， a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West． He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character．

    Ghaffar today is not only good a speaking Beijing dialect （方言） but has also built a fame for Beijing Opera． He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King．

    To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera， Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States， Britain and other countries． When he found that the language was difficult to understand， he started to translate Beijing Opera song lyrics． Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States． He also led a 48﹣member team to perform in Malaysia． In the past 10 years， he has performed in more than 400 shows．
