Because when I was young, I was not interested in China's traditional dramas. Although I watched some dramas in the years when I lived with my grandfather, I knew nothing about Facebook. Until I learned a song in elementary school, I had a preliminary impression of Facebook. The name of this song is "Singing Face", which is a popular song with the flavor of Beijing Opera. Personally, I feel that this song is very nice, and I can have a preliminary impression of various faces after listening to it. So you can listen to it if you have time.
