An 85-year-old man in Zhangjiakou, North China’s Hebei province has been painting Peking Opera facial masks for more than 50 years. Zhang Fuli used to be a professional performer of wusheng (a male martial-arts role in Peking Opera) when he was young. Based on his love for operas, Zhang draws facial masks as an amateur and has made more than 700 masks.
