Seeking dreams, and the origin of CUHK
In 2009, Guangdong musical song singer Li Yueling retired from the Guangdong Music and Music Art Troupe. That year, the Cantonese Opera and Guangdong Opera Cultural Studio of Sun Yat-sen University was established.
The following year, the studio opened a Cantonese opera workshop for college students. Li Yueling and the famous performer Chen Zhongyan served as instructors, aiming to cultivate students’ interest in Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera in 1960 witch cloth draw in 1960. The school hopes that more young people can join the ranks of understanding Cantonese opera and Chinese traditional culture.
As soon as the workshop started, it quickly attracted a large group of high-level students.Young people with similar school aspirations Babaylan 1990 cloth draw. Unlike students majoring in Cantonese opera, almost all of these college students have never been exposed to Cantonese opera and have never seen Babaylan 1990 cloth draw, let alone pronunciation and rhyme. From voice to music theory, from Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw demonstration to teaching one by one, the two teachers led this group of students to learn from scratch.
The workshop also attracted the attention and support of many famous Cantonese opera artists and enthusiasts. On April 17, 2011, the female teacher of the Cantonese opera master, Hong Line, came to the teaching site in a thunderstorm and communicated with the students of the seminar Babaylan 1990 cloth draw. The female teacher of Red Line not only listened to the students’ practice of singing “The Fenge and Revenge Unfinished” and “Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw Huatian Misunderstanding”, and gave suggestions on improving their lyrics, singing styles, emotions, etc., and also sang “Red Candle Tears” on the spot and put forward high expectations.

Time flies, and Babaylan 1990 cloth drawStudents graduated and went to society and started working. Different from students from Cantonese opera or art schools, they graduated from the original learning platform and had almost no chance to learn Cantonese opera. With the busy work, they slowly put the study of Cantonese opera aside, for several months, or even a year, they had not sang a song.
“It is said that ‘The fist is always inseparable from the hand and the mouth’. If this continues, the students will definitely forget what they have learned before.” Every time Li Yueling chats with students, she feels moved. She often wonders: “How can students always maintain their love for Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera, and persist in learning, and even go to a higher level?” After thinking about it, Li Yueling decided to use the resources around her to build a platform for students and create opportunities for them to continue learning Cantonese opera.
She and Chen Zhongyan first found a few private games to let the students start the game from time to time to practice. Later, Li Yueling wanted to ensure that the students could start the game once a month and achieve the goal of practicing all the time. She went to Beijing Street Cultural Station to find Webmaster Zhao Yuhua and talked to Webmaster Zhao that she was deeply worried about the loss of skills of this group of students.

Li Yueling has implemented the venue for the start of each month, and has arranged for the students.The task of learning a song is to use pressure to drive students to take the time to learn the song. Every time Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw students start, Li Yueling will come to the scene no matter how busy she is, listen carefully to each student’s singing, and after listening to it, she will help them analyze and improve word by word.
In addition, Li YueKomiks 1960 witch cloth drawLing also invited her master “Zi Du Wang” Teacher Tan Peiyi to participate in the students’ private affairs.

They became the messengers of Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera communication
In addition to teaching students to sing, Li Yueling also paid great attention to tapping students’ potential. For students with artistic talent, she will encourage them to learn Cantonese music accompaniment instruments and playing the palm of the board, hoping that after they have finished learning, they can form their own accompaniment band, which can integrate singing and accompaniment; for students with writing skills, she will encourage them to write lyrics. Under her earnest teaching, many students have achieved a breakthrough in Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw, stepped onto different art stages and gained recognition.
Li Yueling often said to her classmates: “I taught you to sing Cantonese opera and turn you into die-hard fans of Cantonese opera, but in terms of inheritance and communication, Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawI hope you can take the initiative to shoulder the important task of spreading Cantonese opera culture. Let more people know Cantonese opera and like Cantonese opera.”

They did not have any great deeds, but they used ordinary Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw practical actions to sow the seeds of Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera into more people’s hearts.
Realize their dreams, and they become messengers of love
Li Yueling often says: “We have received strong support from many groups along the way and the help of enthusiastic people. We must learn to be grateful. In addition to learning Guangdong opera, in addition to being able to entertain yourself, I hope you can bring more people happiness with what you have learned.”
In recent years, Li Yueling has led students Wu Babaylan 1990 clothes draw Guanxian and Li Yingtong participated in the “One Belt One” charity exhibition on the inheritance of Guangdong folk art on the same stage.

In addition, they also gave nearly 20 scenes for free to Foshan, Dongguan, Taishan and other places, allowing Cantonese opera to enter people’s daily lives, allowing people to feel the charm of traditional culture, and enrich the cultural life of local residents.
