Beijing Opera is also called Peking Opera. It came into being after 1790 when the famous four Anhui opera troupes（戲班）came to Beijing. Its music and singing come from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. Its costumes are all fascinating and artistic. It is the highest expression of the Chinese culture. It’s full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, and wonderful gestures and fighting. This kind of opera is very popular with Chinese people.

Now AIDS has become one of the most dangerous killers for human beings. The whole world is in danger of AIDS. But the situation in rich countries is not the same as that in poor countries. According to a research, the most serious area is Africa.

Throughout Africa, whole communities are being decimated by AIDS. Mothers, fathers, teachers and farmers are dying in thousands, day after day.

Why is it that most people with HIV live in the world’s poorest countries? Lack of education and health care makes people easy to be infected（感染）; poverty and the constant search for work and food keep them on the move; casual（隨意的）work and casual sex leave women particularly easy to be infected. As a result, the disease spreads to even more people. Those who are already malnourished（營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良的）very soon become sick. Parents die, leaving children who are infected. It’s a dangerous circle.

When Pep Bonet visited Nchelenge in northern Zambia in 2003, he found one person in four was HIVpositive（HIV病毒攜帶者）. There was a closed and fearful atmosphere. No one wanted to admit to their HIV identity, and women who were HIV positives were often beaten or driven out of their home. Mothers left home and children became orphans. People lost hope, and the light went out of their eyes.

In rich countries, anti-HIV drug treatments can keep people with HIV healthy for many years; in poor countries where 95% of people with HIV live, only a few can afford to get these drugs. Do you think that’s fair?
