Hua Guang's Birthday Second private performance Wong Ming-Chuen Doctor: The stronger you get when you encounter strength, the better tomorrow will be

This year's performance of Master Huaguang's Birthday "Hsiang Flower Mountain Birthday" was held during the holidays Ko Shan Theatre and was successfully completed on the afternoon of November 2. More than 400 spectators attended the event to celebrate the birthday of God together.

Before the performance started, Dr. The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong Chairman Wong Ming-Chuen gave a speech. He understood that although the global COVID-19 epidemic has lasted for more than two years, Hong Kong's Cantonese opera world has just slowly recovered like spring. However, as the saying goes, "Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement." In the past year, many colleagues have used the spirit of "easy poverty will lead to change, change will lead to generalization, and generalization will lead to long-lasting" to try to change the past promotion tradition. The method of Cantonese opera has opened up new development directions, such as "The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong Channel: Cantonese opera Online School", online performances, fund-raising and organizing brotherhood classes, etc. At the same time, Wong Ming-Chuen Chairman never forget Master Huaguang’s care and are grateful to him for blessing his fellow actors. Practitioners drink water and think about the source, and do every performance well for Master Huaguang.

As in the past, the performance of "Birthday Celebration at Fragrant Flower Mountain" was well received by guests and theatergoers. This year, the role of Wei Tuo was played by Li Qiuyuan, who performed the traditional "Weituo Fight"; Guanyin was played by Huang Xiaomin, who performed the "Eighteen Transformations of Guanyin", instantly transforming into a dragon, tiger, general, prime minister, fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and reader on the stage, a total of eight images; while Guo Qihui played Cao Bao, leading the young actor who played the role of Heart to spend money as a blessing, which was the climax of the whole play. However, due to anti-epidemic measures, the money-sprinkling session was changed to a situation where the audience can receive a cash envelope containing a copper coin from the staff after the performance by presenting the stub of their ticket.
