Okay... As "contemporary" as art can get, as "artistic" as we should respect these performers, there are limits sometimes. Despite the fact that it does seem interesting and exciting and even thrilling to stand there pretending to be someone else from the long gone past, be sure to figure out the cultural understanding before you proceed on your adventure. With the edging mentality of protecting what treasures of history remaining in China, the Chinese people will be fast to criticize and anger for any actions leading remote disrespect for their long gone historical artifacts. If it was a practical joke, the joker's lost the fun, if it was for the hell of it, well, he will definitely experience the hell now (trust that the government is now watching him), if for fame... well, then it looses to a certain extend the feeling of art.

On the other hand... seriously... It's just history... it's all in the past. What is the big fuss about it? Just because it's a daring German student in China protected by the German government? Well, just think, that's why he can do this and we cannot.
