Zhangzhou Xiangju Troupe's Gao Wen Ying

This is the older version of Gao Wen Ying with some different casts.

However I like the little kid in this version rather than the one that I saw at GCB last month. This kid is so much cuter and livelier

Xu Yuxiang acted the flirtatious Missy instead of Yang Xiaoyi.

Er I don't remember Lan Haibin wore a beard when I watched their live performance.
I was thinking how come he didn't seem to age after he got separated from his wife for about a decade. By right, he should have a beard...



The insane lady in blue isn't Yang Yuexia. AC, she was the dan that you like but I forgot what's her name. She has already switched profession, no longer an opera actress but a clerk.

(Franxxis, you used to take her pics when she was here the lst time 3 years back. I remember you mentioned about liking her smiles.)

I miss the little kid, Yiling. She is really cut out to be a wawasheng.

Hey Shanice, she has a mirror too just like your Min Er.

A Very Nice Song - 碧玉簪之三蓋衣

Personally I feel Lu Yihong can sing very well.

I used to find 三蓋衣 a very boring excerpt. It's only when I heard this segment then I realise that the song mermerises me alot.

Though my troupe acted this show before, in fact quite a few times and we are going to perform again, I only like the last part (送鳳冠）(熱鬧場面喲）

Too bad I didn't manage to catch any of her shows when the ZZ troupe was here last month.

However I heard that she wasn't suitable for the role of Qin Xianglian.

One of the reasons was that she looks much older for the role.

AC, how was the show?

I Just Want To Say!!!

I am so TIRED!!!!!!!

I just want to come up here and tell everyone that I am so so tired today!

I just SMS L that I can't go TW for performance.

It's a rare opportunity for me...

Yet I can't go.......

This is so so so SAD!!! sob...sob...

Now I only look forward to the HOLs...

Wanna a good rest!!!

My back aches, my shoulder too...

In a foul mood...

Hope it goes away soon......

DONE!!!

I have finally done my share of translation!!!

XJ, go and check your email...

I have sent the 2 scripts to your singnet email.

At last, freed from suffering...(LOL)

Do You Find This Dan Familiar?

Several years ago, I went to Zhangzhou to pay them a visit.

I only got to visit the troupe leader's wife (The Sheng in white). Both the troupe leader and his wife treated us to a sumptuous seafood feast which I was not able to finish. ;P

The troupe leader's wife gave me six sets of their vcds and I combed the next four sets in Zhangzhou.

I found more of their new shows in the web. Apparently they have produced new titles.

I'm going to get my friend to help me to search for more Xiangju titles.

Oh ya...back to the main topic...

You find the dan in the clip familiar?

Hahahahahaha...

She is Lan Hanbin's wife and she has already left Bai Yi Zhangzhou troupe for quite some time. Heard that she is now currently in her family's troupe.

No wonder I found her familiar when I saw her Cuixiang. (LOL)

My Head Throbs!!!

I had enough of translating!

Reading the script alone really is a torture!

Gosh, the words are so so so......not at all nice.

Thought that words are supposed to be beautiful...

I have been complaining since the day I started to translate.

Perhaps I am so used to the beautifully-illustrated words that I am exposed to.

Anyway, I am not going to continue the translation, I want to give my poor head a rest.

The headache is gnawing my brain cells away...

Time to rest!!!

Busy & Tired

Just woke up not too long ago......

Still am tired......

It's a very busy period and expected to be busier till month end.

Read Shanice's blog...Sighz...

I am too looking forward to HOLS too...

Badly need a break......

I don't even want to think of performances...

Performances to me now mean Work..

I only want to rest......
