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 the Center for Historical Anthropology Research at China University was established. The following year, the studio opened a Cantonese opera and Guangdong opera for college students. Li Yueling and famous performer Chen Zhongyan served as instructors, aiming to cultivate young students’ interest in Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera and improve their extensive research.The perceptual understanding of the culture of the government. The workshop hopes that more young people can join the ranks of understanding Cantonese opera and Chinese traditional culture. As soon as the workshop opened, it quickly attracted a large group of young people with similar aspirations from major universities. Unlike the Cantonese opera major, Babaylan This group of college students has almost never been exposed to Cantonese opera, has never seen a sequel to pronunciation and rhyme. From singing voice to music theory, from demonstration to teaching one by one, the two teachers led this group of students to learn from scratch.

On April 17, 2011, the Cantonese opera master Red Line Female Teacher came to the teaching site in a thunderstorm to communicate with the students in the workshop.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, students graduated and went to society and started working. Unlike students from Cantonese opera or art majors, students in the seminar have left their original study platform after graduation and have almost no chance to learn Cantonese opera. In addition to their busy work, they slowly put the Cantonese opera learning aside, and have not sang songs for several months or even a year. “It is said that ‘The fist is always inseparable from the mouth’. If this continues, students will definitely forget what they learned before.”Every time Yue Ling finished chatting with her students, she felt moved. She often thought: “How can students always maintain their love for Cantonese opera, persist in learning, and even go to the next level?” After thinking about it, Li Yueling decided to use the resources around her to build a platform for the students and create opportunities for them to continue learning Cantonese opera.

She and Chen Zhongyan first found a few private games for the students to 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 the 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. When the webmaster Zhao Yuhua heard that there were such a group of young people who loved Guangdong opera, he was very moved. He immediately arranged for Li Yueling to meet with Chen Jinglin, the head of the Folk Art Troupe of the Guangzhou Cultural Hall of Beijing Street to discuss the students’ practice music.
In order to facilitate everyone to practice music, the Cultural Association has changed the starting time from Monday to Friday and closed on weekends. It has specially arranged to bring the accompaniment master back to work overtime on Saturday afternoon to start the game for the students. After Li Yueling implemented the venue for the start of each month, she assigned the task of each student to learn a song Cinema, hoping to use pressure to drive students to take the time to learn songs. Every time the student starts, no matter how busy Li Yueling will come to the scene, listen carefully to each student’s singing, and after listening to them, she will help them analyze and improve word by word.
In addition, Li Babaylan Yueling also invited her master “Zihouwang” Teacher Tan Peiyi to participate in the students’ private affairs. Teacher Tan Peiyi not only shared the creation process of her first famous song “Cai Wenji Returns to Han” with the students, but also taught everyone to sing “Jinjiang Poetry Couple” word by word, which gave the students great encouragement.

Li Yueling often said to her classmates: “I taught you to sing Cantonese opera, turning you into Babaylan‘s loyal fans of Cantonese opera, but in terms of inheritance and communication, I hope you can one day 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 practical actions to sow the seeds of Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera into the hearts of more people.

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 you can entertain yourself, I hope you can use what you have learned to bring joy to more people.”
