Beijing receives a novel gift, marking the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The Hong Kong City Contemporary Dance Company is here. The company is performing its modern dance series with its repertoire "Silver Rain."

It's among the major events at the Beijing Modern Dance Summit.

The "Silver Rain" falling on stage at the Oriental Pioneer Theatre on Wednesday brought cool respite to hot summer in Beijing.

"Silver Rain", presented by Hong Kong City Contemporary Dance Company, combines ten classic excerpts from the troupe's many productions dating back to its beginnings in 1979. The show seemed bursting at the seams. There were pieces bearing innumerable styles and motifs. Willy Tsao's staged his vigorous "Wandering in the Realm of Lightness". There was the soul-searching "Plaza X" choreographed by Helen Lai. Then - Xing Liang's "Stranger Than Fiction", accentuating the grace of body language.
