We try not to miss a chance to post images of an actress with a bird or two. In this case the editors of Xinjua Entertainment Weekly decided that mixing a swan, snow and Dong Xuan would add up to Swan Lake. The Chinese characters 天鹅湖 may mean an altogether different Swan Lake, not the ballet and score that is a major work in the 19th century western Romantic canon and a staple of ballet companies the world over, but something else entirely.
However:
Dong Xuan holding a swan:
Dong Xuan not holding a swan:
Dong Xuan looking at a chicken.
Could it be a Chinese adaptation of Swan Lake, called Goose Lake? :D
