<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Beijing, April 15, 2005: In the Sketch & Playlet Competition held at<br />

<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> on April 13th, the music drama Notre Dame de Paris got the<br />

highest score <strong>of</strong> 9 judges and finally won the golden award. Performers <strong>of</strong> this drama<br />

imitated a snatch from the French music drama Notre Dame de Paris.<br />

The first Sketch & Playlet Competition, which aroused general concern on campus<br />

and attracted many lovers <strong>of</strong> perform arts from different departments, was jointly<br />

sponsored by <strong>PKU</strong> Student Union and <strong>PKU</strong> Chinese Art & Music Association.<br />

Altogether there are 10 programs chosen to compete in the final, and the genres<br />

includes satirical, wu litou (non-logic), post-modern, with on-the-spot record as the<br />

majority. Although students‘ performances are relatively immature, the simple and<br />

unadorned style won applause from the audience below now and then. The sketches<br />

and playlets are not mere farcical; some <strong>of</strong> the programs, according to the judges,<br />

probe deeply into the essence <strong>of</strong> campus life and human nature.<br />

The playlet Kettle tells a story about a boy‘s making acquaintance <strong>of</strong> a girl in the<br />

water house, interspersed with matters <strong>of</strong> study attitude, employment prospect, love,<br />

etc.; in the sketch Funny Debate, schoolboys think schoolgirls are the most tired and<br />

vice versa, with the conclusion that college life is really tiring. Those two programs<br />

won the silver award. In view <strong>of</strong> the popularity <strong>of</strong> Zhao Benshan sketches,<br />

northeastern accent is most widely used in the competition except mandarin. But the<br />

result shows that be it northeastern or northwestern accent, Notre Dame de Paris in<br />

French is the best.<br />
