Bandar Seri Begawan - The Tianjin Cathay Future Children's Art Troupe of the People's Republic of China, which was invited by Brunei's Ministry of Education, bedazzled the audience with their flawless performance at the auditorium of Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science College in Jalan Muara yesterday.

Over 200 students from some 17 secondary schools in the capital as well as other government and private primary schools were invited to watch the show.

Present as guest of honour was the science college's principal, Pg Hjh Sarah Pg Hj Kamaluddin. Also attending the event were Mr Tian Qi, Counsellor of Chinese Embassy, and Mr Zhao Qian, the Headmaster of the Children's Foundation from Tianjin, China.

The Tianjin Cathay Future Children's Art Troupe was founded in May 1995, and is one of the world's largest children's art troupes.

At present, the Children's Art Troupe is made up of ten branches, namely the `Children's Dancing Troupe', `Infant's Art Troupe', `Symphony Orchestra', `Children's Traditional Instrument Troupe', `Children's Chorus Troupe', `Children's Beijing Opera Troupe', `Children's Acrobatic Troupe', `Children's Ballet Troupe', `Children's Performance Troupe' and `Children's Popular Narratives Troupe'.

Four experienced and highly skilled performers - Wang Zi Shen, Zhao Bao Shanm, Shen Guang Wen and Chen You Zheng - are the art supervisors of the children's troupe comprising over 500 young national artistes.

The troupe has travelled around the world including Canada, USA, Brazil, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. They are often regarded as the "angels of peace and friendship".

Following last night's show, the troupe will be performing in Malaysia. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
