Amazing! Shadow Puppetry has a long history and is a highly integrated and unique form of folk art in China. Behind a white curtain, illuminated by candles and other light sources, the artist manipulates silhouettes of animal skins while singing a story to a tune. And just now, almost in the blink of an eye, a skeleton was instantly transformed into a beauty!
