Children of Hangzhou: Connecting with China

Qianyun Chinese Opera

Sponsored by Devon Energy, KPMG and The William Stamps Farish Fund

Children of Hangzhou logoWest meets East in Children of Hangzhou.  This interactive new exhibit will take you on a whirlwind adventure to the Far East through the lives of four children who live in Hangzhou, China. 
 
From September 25, 2010 to January 23, 2011, you’re invited to enter an interactive display of the culture and lifestyle of Chinese people.  The exhibit will begin at a bus stop where you will discover the wonderful city of Hangzhou and meet our four young “tour guides.”  You will then be able to glimpse at their exciting lifestyles.
  • One child, Weicheng, will take you through his family home as he prepares a birthday meal for his grandmother.
  • Qianyun will show you her passion of Chinese opera, what instruments are used, and share a popular Chinese folk tale called White Snake Lady.
  • You will also meet Gangzheng at his middle school, who will explain some historical and fascinating information on China. 
  • And finally, Doudou will show you what it is like to live on the countryside. She teaches people the process of rice planting, weaving and rice pounding.

Hangzhou is one of the seven ancient capitals in the history of China and has become one of the most modern civilizations of time. The city is also known to mix ancient traditions with modern lifestyles.
