Second-graders at the Yumin elementary school in Harbin, capital of northeastern Heilongjiang province, are enchanted by the Peking opera performance of a child actress during a class on Thursday, March 6, 2008. Children learning Peking opera professionally were invited to the school to perform following a government suggestion to include the traditional opera form in school music courses. In February, the Ministry of Education started a pilot project in ten provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. [Photo Xinhuanet]
