A clown practices his comedy routine at his home in Fuzhou, East China's Fujian province, June 8, 2011. The 26-year-old performer, Bao Caixiao, works for a local clown company, started by four grassroots amateur clowns in 2008. The company now provides upscale comical entertainment, including magic shows, face painting and stilt walking. Clowns also deliver personalized messages on a client's behalf, such as apologies or festival regards. [Photo/CFP]
