"The Windows" is a new episode of China Media Group's creative Chinese opera series "Play of All-beings," which explores ways to add a modern touch to traditional Chinese operas. Dressed in costumes from the Kunqu Opera masterpiece "The Peony Pavilion," written by renowned Chinese dramatist Tang Xianzu in the 17th century, the actors are actually telling a modern story.

It showcases how two people, who are used to hiding behind computer screens, act when love comes calling. Instead of speaking or singing out the actors' lines, their words are shown in the subtitles with keyboard typing sounds to display the thoughts and feelings of the two.
