("Mr. Cui and his wife want to leave China for good. And they intend to take
their puppets with them")

Note:
(a) Beijing Cui Yongping Shadow Play Art Museum 北京崔永平皮影艺术博物馆
(b) China Quaternary Glacier Museum 中国第四纪冰川陈列馆

quaternary glacier 第四纪冰川/第四纪冰期

(i) quaternary

(spanning 2.588 ± 0.005 million years ago to the present)
(ii) Quaternary glaciation

(also known as the current ice age or simply the ice age; refers to the
period of the last few million years (2.58 Ma to present))

"Ma" stands for "million year"--Latin annum year.

(c) Until this, I did not know China has shadow puppet. I thought it started
in Indonesia.
