This photograph taken on December 28, 2019 shows a reflection of an actor applying makeup before a Chinese opera performance by Thailand's Sai Bo Hong troupe on a makeshift stage at a street festival in Bangkok. An ancient world of swords, warriors and folklore roars to life on the darkened street, offering a momentary escape from the modern-day bustle of Bangkok's unstoppable development. For centuries, troupes like the Sai Bo Hong Chinese opera have performed throughout Thailand, where 14 percent of the population are ethnic Chinese. (Photo by Mladen Antonov/AFP Photo)
