Shadow puppets(玩偶) are made of hard leather. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.

During a shadow play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends hold the puppets very close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.

Shadow plays are an ancient Chinese art. Now with TVs and films, shadow plays are not as popular as before.

Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.
