The opera academic community mourned Mr. Huang Zhusan
Professor of the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University and President of the Ancient Chinese Opera Society Huang Tianji :
Hearing the news of the death of Zhusan and feeling very suddenly and sad. He also sent me a WeChat message at 5 pm on January 21st and passed me a video related to diet to show me. I was attending a dinner party outside at that time. I sent him a WeChat message at 9 AM on the 22nd, without a reply. Unexpectedly, I saw the news of his death on my Moments at night, which was unbelievable. Zhu San's death was a major loss to the opera community.
Zhu San and I are both teachers and friends. He is humble and diligent. I am a few years older than him, and he always respectfully calls me a teacher. I wrote prefaces for him. When he first started learning to write ancient poetry in his early years, we often exchanged our experiences in writing poetry. We both have a good relationship. After I got older, I rarely traveled far away, but at the seminar on Zhu San's 70th birthday, I went to Linfen, Shanxi with Professor Kang Baocheng and Mr. Zeng Yongyi from Taiwan. Everyone gathered there for many days. This is a rare thing in my later years. The last time I met Zhu San was in 2013, the 8th National "Lifetime Achievement Award for Opera Teaching and Research" was awarded to four old men in the country, and he and I were both on the list. He came to CUHK that year and we met.
Zhu San went to Shanxi after graduating from the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University in 1965. The conditions there were particularly difficult, but inspired by Professor Wang Jisi, he devoted himself to the research of opera cultural relics for life. He worked for his whole life and never gave up. Not only did he establish the first major in the university's opera cultural relics research, filling the gap in the academic world, he also cultivated a large number of talents in opera cultural relics research.
Professor Wu Guoqin of the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University:
Shocked to know that the three old classmates Huang Zhu died unfortunately. The sadness in his heart was unspeakable!
Zhu San's death is a major loss to the academic community of opera! He has edited "Chinese Opera" and edited the voluminous "Commentary on Sixty Comments", especially in the research of opera relics, and has made outstanding contributions. His related works have been translated into foreign languages and published overseas. He founded the Institute of Opera and Cultural Relics of Shanxi Normal University, making it an important center for opera research.
Zhu San is my undergraduate and graduate school classmate. He is decent and enthusiastic. After graduating from CUHK, he was assigned to Shanxi. His girlfriend was in love and refused to go with him. The blow was not bad. However, Zhu San faced it strongly and finally created his own world in Shanxi.
Zhu San has been tortured by illness for several years. Recently, he had a brain surgery and actually used an iron hoop to flip his head, which was tantamount to being tortured. He sent me the photo and wanted to cry after seeing it. It was so miserable. But Zhu San is still optimistic and strong, and even imitates Wang Luobin singing to lift your iron veil. His strong and optimistic spirit is moving!
Bamboo San Rest in peace, there is no iron veil in heaven. You are free and free, please walk the way!
Sunshan University Chinese Department and Vice President of the Chinese Society of Ancient Chinese Opera Professor Kang Baocheng:
Mr. Huang Zhusan graduated from CUHK in 1961 and studied for a postgraduate degree under Mr. Wang Jisi. After graduation, he was assigned to work in Shanxi. He followed Master Ji Si's teachings and created the first major in China's opera and cultural relics research at Shanxi Normal University. He is unique and close to the water. After decades of hard work, the only echelon of research on opera cultural relics in China has been established. His death was a huge loss in opera research! Mourn Senior Zhu San!
Professor Che Wenming, Vice President of Shanxi Normal University:
The beloved teacher Huang suddenly passed away, and he was extremely sad. Teacher Huang is my master, the founder of the Institute of Opera and Cultural Relics of Shanxi Normal University and the first director. The teacher is knowledgeable, has a deep learning experience, and is kind-hearted. He is our eternal mentor! The career that Mr. Mr. has started will surely be able to continue to develop! Sir, Yong'an!
Dean of the School of Opera and Film and Television, Shanxi Normal University, Extended Protection Professor:
As a disciple, I actually paid attention to his health after Master Zhu San suffered from cancer. I heard the bad news of my mentor's unfortunate death last night, and I was deeply saddened and still unbelievable.
The third master of the bamboo is a high-level existence in the hearts of the disciples. This is not only because he is the founder of the Institute of Opera and Cultural Relics of Shanxi Normal University, he has worked hard to create the institute and has made great contributions to the construction of the disciplines of drama and film and television, but also because he is a pioneer in opera cultural relics. He has made great achievements in many fields such as opera cultural relics, sacrificial drama, opera literature, poetry and novels, and has made extensive works, especially in the field of opera cultural relics research, and has made great achievements. His achievements are recognized by the opera academic community.
is also one of the founders of the large-scale edition of "Chinese Opera". After 36 years of development, the publication has become an important and authoritative academic journal recognized by the academic community. The Opera Museum founded by Mr. Mr. is the first to exhibit special exhibitions of opera cultural relics. The Opera Museum has now become an important base integrating teaching, scientific research and cultural heritage. Mr. Wang watched over the Normal University, and the trees were orchids and the torch was passed down from generation to generation, cultivating batches of pillars for the academic community.
Mr. He hurried back to Daoshan and drove away, which was a huge loss to the academic community across the country! I have no more condolences to my mentor here! "If there is a gentleman, you must not be careless." I hope that my teacher will go well and will no longer suffer from illness.
Director of the Opera Institute of Chinese Academy of Arts and President of the Chinese Opera Society:
The respected Mr. Huang Zhusan passed away. He died after fighting cancer tenaciously for many years.
Before this, I accompanied Taiwanese scholar Ms. Cai Xinxin to visit my husband in Beijing. He was once stable and laughed and cheered. He took his poems and collections of essays to recall many past events with Taiwanese scholars, and of course, including the humanistic tradition of Sun Yat-sen University that opened up his academic ideals. That day, I talked a lot from my residence to the nearby restaurant. What impressed me most was that he did not have any pain caused by illness, and the most concerned thing about his happy laughter was opera and culture.
Mr. Huang is a native of Guangdong. He worked in Linfen, Shanxi in the 1960s and stayed for half a century. Many people mistakenly believe that he is an authentic northerner because of his tall figure. People who are familiar with him understand best that from the warm Lingnan all year round to the dry Hedong in cold and heat, what makes him willing to move his roots is the heavy character of others and his persistence in academics. Perhaps, such life experiences are related to the times, but it is Mr. Huang's attitude towards life as a true scholar who has been deeply involved in the study of opera historical theory .
In the birthplace of opera art, Mr. Huang saw the stage built over the years after the opera matured, the fan drum magic score remaining among the people, and the folk customs with unique local personality, which all exceeded the scope of previous historical theories of opera. Therefore, from his roots to the north, he extracted academic knowledge that was enough to fill the gap in the study of opera history and theory from regional experience, and greatly improved his previous sporadic achievements in the research of stages and opera cultural relics into a mature opera cultural relics science.
Today, when scholars in the field of opera research praised Shanxi Normal University's research on opera cultural relics and went to Normal University to conduct field research on Shanxi Opera cultural relics, they were actually inseparable from Mr. Huang's pioneering and pioneering of this discipline. As a master-level scholar in this field, he and several generations of scholars who have cultivated and united him have provided a large number of outstanding talents for the field of opera research. The "Chinese Opera" co-founded with the Chinese Opera Society and the Opera Museum built based on Shanxi Opera Cultural Relics have attracted more scholars to devote themselves to the research of opera cultural relics. All of this turned into a series of human relationships in his jokes, and the normal heart of a true scholar was shown in his daily memory. Mr. Huang left us forever. He no longer had the entanglement of illness, nor was there any entanglement of north and south. He was alone in the world of affection. There were only quiet study and bustling fields.
