Every morning at 5:30, Li Jun gets up, finds a quiet place and begins shouting at a wall. "Ahh...
eee...", he is always shouting for about 30 minutes. The sounds are long and loud. Is he mad? No. Is
he a singer? Well, maybe. But he doesn't like pop music. In fact, this 14-year-old kid is mad about
Peking Opera. He is studying it at the Ji' nan Art School in Shandong. He has been doing this practice
every morning since he was 10. "My voice is changing.I sing every day.I want my voice to become
better, "he said. Li says he can't eat ice cream because it is bad for his voice. His hard work has helped.
Li got the first place in the CCTV arts contest for kids. He sang Take over of Weihu Mountain (《智取
威虎山》), a great Peking Opera song. Li's father and grandpa are both Peking Opera fans. When Li
was a kid,he saw opera masks (面具)at home and liked them. Now he and his father often sing opera
at home on weekends.
Every day at school, Li learns to somersault (翻筋斗) and do leg exercise. In the afternoon, he
learns to sing."My body is always in pain. I only want to lie in bed at the end of a day," said Li. But it's
more fun back in his dormitory."Eight people in my dormitory sing opera together. It turns the room into
an opera house. "Li's teacher, Ma Jisheng, thinks Li is an unusual kid. "He doesn't like new things much.
He is really serious about the old opera, art, "said Ma. Ma hopes Li Jun can be a big opera star. "But he
may also try some pop songs. Kids need to have their own style, " he said.
