BEIJING grossiste air max 2019 homme , May 5 (Xinhua) -- Just a few years ago, Uwechue Emmanuel, a Nigerian-born singer better known by his stage name Hao Ge, could not imagine he would one day emerge as one of the most notable foreign singers in China.
He came to China to learn Beijing Opera and after years of daily practice, grew to be an experienced singer in a traditional art difficult to master even for local people.
Rising to fame when he came second in China's singing competition "The Road to Star" in 2006, Emmanuel saw his career flourish in Beijing and has made a life for himself in the city ever since.
ADVENTURE TO CHINA
Though Emmanuel realized the language barrier would be an issue, he saw his initial trip to China as an adventure to a mystical nation and a chance to continue working on his passion.
"I came to China to practice music grossiste air max 2019 france , which is the love of my life," he told Xinhua in a recent interview through email, and joked, "I was intrigued by the fact that not everyone in China practiced Kung Fu, because that was the impression that I had initially!"
However, communication did pose a challenge and the early days in China were the toughest for Emmanuel. Arriving with so much enthusiasm for his new life, he found himself even unable to order food in a restaurant.
"I have to learn and understand Chinese grossiste air max 2019 chine , and the culture of local people. So the period of learning the language and culture was basically the most difficult time," he recalled.
PASSION FOR CHINESE CULTURE
Chinese traditional music and folk songs are all melodically oriented, which is a very attractive aspect of Chinese music, Emmanuel said. Though tonal differences are important, the fact that music is a thing of melody makes it less difficult to learn.
His vivid performance as Bao Gong, a judge character in traditional operas, is the most impressive for Chinese audience. The character is often portrayed with a dark face and a white crescent on his forehead.
"I do not have to (wear) make up because of my dark skin. I only need an engraving of the moon on my forehead grossiste chaussure air max 2019 ," he said.
Besides Beijing Opera, Emmanuel is fond of paper cutting, another Chinese art where paper is cut into intricate images to decorate doors and windows.
He is determined to learn not only the language, but also the diversified Chinese culture.
CULTURE AMBASSADOR
China and Africa have a lot in common and should further promote ongoing cultural exchange so that generations old and new can know more about their respective nations, Emmanuel suggested.
The richness and diversity of Nigerian culture, for instance, is a manifestation of the socio-cultural differences of the over 250 ethnic groups in the country grossiste air max 2019 pas cher , he said.
"Africa is a large continent," he said. "Africans have their own regional culture and black cultural beliefs, loosely based on old ancient things, and most have been changing over the hundreds of years."
As Nigerian ambassador of culture to China, Emmanuel said he was obliged to introduce Nigerian culture to the country and sees his own career as a part of that.
"I intend to continue to make music and work hard at it, so that my music can affect this generation positively," he said.

BEIJING, May 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump departs from Washington for the Middle East on Friday in his first overseas visit since he took office in January.
Embroiled in rolling scandals at home, he can expect a welcome in Saudi Arabia and Israel, which have been lobbying for U.S. support for their policies in the region.
However, experts fear that Trump may add fuel to the conflict-laden region when he wades into the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, ties with Iran, anti-terrorism and wars in Syria and Yemen.
BALANCE AT STAKE
In his first stop grossiste air max 2019 , Trump is expected to meet with Saudi officials, as well as more than 50 leaders of Muslim countries during a summit hosted by the kingdom.
"Trump's escalation against Iran complies with Saudi policies that adopt a strict position on Iran and reject the Iranian policies as interference in regional affairs, especially that Iran drives the situations in Yemen and Syria towards more tension," said Sayyid Amin Shalaby, director of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs.
Saudi Arabia was not satisfied with the policies of Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, toward Iran http://www.airmax2019paschere.fr/ , and ties between the two countries soured after the U.S. Congress passed a law last year permitting lawsuits holding the kingdom responsible for the 911 attacks.
"Trump announced that he will uproot terrorism and he wants to do so by relying on his Arab and Muslim allies in the Middle East region," Sayyid said, adding that Washington expects the Gulf states to share the expenses of an anti-terror war by signing an arms deal worth 100 billion U.S. dollars with Saudi Arabia.
However, experts fear that Trump will escalate tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
"At the summit, Trump looks to me more like an arms dealer who expects to spark more conflicts," said Saeed al-Lawindi, a researcher at Cairo-based Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies.
They exclude Iran as if it is not a regional power nike air max 2019 femme pas cher , he said, adding that Iran should play a role in regional affairs.
Moreover, through his presidential campaign Trump vowed to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, which could hinder the Palestinian-Israeli peace process and anger the whole Arab world.
In 1995, the United States passed a law mandating the relocation of its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. But every U.S. president since then signed a six-month waiver for security concerns. The most recent waiver signed by Barack Obama will expire on June 1.
Israel annexed east Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. Whil.
