Since the beginning of 2020, many once dazzling stars in the entertainment industry have fallen. After the death of veteran actors, Tian Chengren, Lu Yuan, Li Ji and singers, Krim and others, today, a sad news has also come from the Taiwanese entertainment industry - Gezai Opera The world's big name Xiao Fengxian died in the hospital early this morning, at the age of 80.
mentioned Gezai Opera and "Xiao Fengxian". Perhaps not many people know about it in mainland China, but in fact, Gezai Opera, like Peking Opera, Yue Opera, , etc., is a kind of opera opera. After it emerged in Taiwan in the early 20th century, it quickly became popular in southern Fujian and Southeast Asia. In 2006, Gezai Opera was also included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
Xiao Fengxian, whose original name is Chen Liru, has a very high status in the song and opera industry. She started learning opera when she was young. Later, she became popular because of her role in "Little Fengxian and Cai Songpo", so she changed her stage name to "Little Fengxian".
Yang Lihua, known as the number one young actor in Taiwan's song opera, was Xiao Fengxian's friend during his lifetime. Xiao Fengxian is also known as the "Happy God of Drama". She is the soul of Yang Lihua's Gezai Opera and the clown in Yang Lihua's Gezai Opera. She has many fans of the opera during her lifetime.
The friendship between Xiao Fengxian and Yang Lihua can be traced back to a long time ago. When Yang Lihua founded the Gezai Opera Troupe, she promoted Xiao Fengxian to an opera director. Xiao Fengxian not only cultivated many well-known students for the Gezai Opera Troupe, but she also wrote Gezai Opera scripts, which is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. As a rare talent in the song and opera industry, Xiao Fengxian's departure is undoubtedly a major loss to the song and opera industry in Taiwan.
It is reported that Xiao Fengxian, 80 years old this year, has been plagued by diabetes in recent years. Her last performance during her lifetime was about when she was 74 years old. After that, she mostly recuperated at home, and Yang Lihua went to Xiao Fengxian's house with her friends from time to time to visit her.
But Xiao Fengxian died of illness in the hospital this time, but Yang Lihua did not see the last time her friend was. It was a pity.
It turns out that due to the recent impact of the epidemic, Yang Lihua thought of going to the hospital to visit Xiao Fengxian after a while, but she didn't expect that Xiao Fengxian would take the lead. Because she failed to see her friend for the last time, Yang Lihua felt sad when she thought of it and she burst into tears and sighed. Moreover, due to the epidemic, Yang Lihua was unable to go to the hospital to see Xiao Fengxian for the last trip. She said that the hospital is currently under control to visit the hospital, and Xiao Fengxian's family did not want them to go there, and expressed that they had already received their wishes.
Faced with the regret of not being able to send her last journey even if she missed her last meeting with her friend, Yang Lihua's sadness is indescribable. When she posted a message to mourn Xiao Fengxian on a social platform, she only posted a short sentence: "Sister, it's easy to go all the way", but it is enough for people to feel the heaviness of her mood...
With Xiao Fengxian's death, more people began to learn about her experiences during her lifetime. It turned out that in addition to suffering from diabetes during her lifetime, she also had surgery for knee aging 10 years ago, and also experienced myocardial infarction and minor stroke. After suffering from a series of illnesses, her body can be said to be much worse than before, so she has rarely been exposed in front of others in recent years.
Moreover, in order to develop the career of Gezai Opera, Xiao Fengxian never got married, let alone had children. She had never married and had children all her life, but fortunately, a younger brother adopted her son and an adopted daughter was able to prevent her old age from becoming miserable and lonely, and she had children and grandchildren by her side.
Now that Xiao Fengxian has passed away, for her, she finally doesn’t have to suffer from illness anymore, but for relatives, friends and drama fans who stay in the world, she has to endure the pain of losing her close relatives and idols. Xiao 8 hopes that Xiao Fengxian can live a good life in another world, and that relatives, friends and drama fans can be mourned. I also hope that in 2020, I will change to a less uncomfortable script.
