The 80-year-old sister Wang Mingquan still looks young, and at the age of 76, she is in excellent condition and is well maintained. She writes a wellness book that is sure to be a big hit and will be sold out as soon as it hits the market.
This time, we are not just bringing books on health preservation, but also precious materials about Cantonese opera. On 9 January 2024, Sister Wang Mingquan and Dr. Shum Jinqian will share the history, current situation and development of Cantonese opera in Hong Kong at the Guangzhou Book Centre.
This "The Magnificent Transformation of Ba Wo - Reinventing Traditional Brands" is the culmination of their years of research, and I believe it will give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of Cantonese opera. Let's feel the charm of Cantonese opera together, its inheritance and development.
Wang Mingquan, a legendary figure that everyone in Hong Kong knows and everyone knows. She had a colourful life, and despite suffering from cancer twice, she always fought it actively.
She is an evergreen tree in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and has made outstanding achievements in the fields of acting, singing and hosting. In addition, she has also been very successful in cross-border and has been highly praised by the political and business circles, the music and art circles and the social welfare circles.
However, what she admires most is her patriotism.
Sister A's beauty does not lie in her stunning appearance, but in her dignified atmosphere and gentle, elegant and tenacious temperament, she is a veritable heroine, whether singing, hosting or acting, she can be at ease and show extraordinary talent.
She has created many classic roles in the entertainment industry, such as "My Savage Grandmother", "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love" and "Jinghua Spring Dream" and so on. She is meticulous and serious, so she has won many TVB TV and Hong Kong Golden Melody "Golden Needle Awards".
In addition, she makes a lot of friends, does things boldly, is deeply loved by the public, and is respected as TVB's eldest sister.
This woman not only has a deep knowledge of Cantonese opera, but also served as the chairman of the Eight Artists Association in Hong Kong. She did not learn to sing Cantonese opera since she was a child, but became a monk halfway through. What's even more admirable is that after she was **, despite the great impact of thyroid cancer on her voice, she still insisted on investing enthusiasm in her acting career, and now she is in her 70s, and she can still see her active figure in TVB, and her spirit is amazing.
She co-founded the Full House Theatre Troupe with Lam Ka Sing and the Fusheng Cantonese Opera Troupe with her husband Law Ka Ying, which has traveled extensively in Guangzhou, the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong, as well as toured to the United States, Canada and Singapore.
Today, Sister Ah is devoting herself to the cultivation of Cantonese opera juniors.
For her, who used to be the director of the Eight Artists Association in Hong Kong, she is not worried about the young audience of opera. She believes that as a Chinese, as she grows older, her interest in opera will gradually increase, and she will want to understand and appreciate it.
Therefore, she is committed to promoting Cantonese opera into schools, hoping that Cantonese opera will have future talents. And last year, the popularity of Yue Opera girl Chen Lijun and her partner Li Yunxiao also confirmed her guess.
She believes that Chinese people are full of love for excellent traditional culture and opera, but they just need an opportunity and talent that can activate people's "blood awakening".
At this book fair, Sister Ah spoke fondly about her indissoluble bond with Cantonese opera and how to pass on this precious cultural heritage. Cantonese opera has had a deep impact on the Greater Bay Area, but before the handover, traditional folk arts did not receive enough attention, and even among the top ten art groups funded by the world, Cantonese opera was particularly small.
However, Sister Ah did not give up because of this. With her love and dedication to Cantonese opera, as well as her sense of responsibility as a deputy to the National People's Congress, she is constantly looking for ways to actively seek help and support, and strive to promote Cantonese opera culture, so that this cultural treasure can be revitalized in the new era.
Sister Ah and her husband Luo Jiaying recently visited 95-year-old Chinese Cantonese opera artist Bai Xuexian, and the two spent a lively time with many veteran Hong Kong stars at the home of Bai Xuexian's seniors.
In this era of the Internet and pan-entertainment, many traditional cultures are gradually fading out of our field of vision, but we still have a group of people who are silently sticking to it. Nowadays, more and more young people in Hong Kong are beginning to pay attention to and come into contact with Cantonese opera, which has led to a strong interest in this traditional culture.
At this book fair, Sister A's performance was eye-catching. She was dressed in a light purple dress, neither pretending to be young nor old, showing elegance and decency just right, and she was in very good condition, which was amazing.
In addition to Cantonese opera and Bahe Cantonese opera academy, Sister A's outstanding state has also attracted the attention of many netizens.
Although the 76-year-old sister is the same as someone else's 80-year-old, she also has some wrinkles and bags under her eyes, but her beauty and generosity surpass many actresses who use technology for beauty.
Although Sister A's face has traces of time, it does not have the plastic feeling after medical beauty, but because of proper maintenance, ** is still fair and firm. She showed us the beauty and calmness of natural aging.
The purple tone color enhances the brightness of the complexion, and with the exquisite makeup, the "milky white skin" exudes a natural glow and a full complexion. Even the skin of the hands is silky smooth and shiny.
This Hong Kong star's hair is still thick and black, and there is no trace of gray hair at all, how did this happen? It seems that the maintenance of Hong Kong Star is really excellent, I don't know what kind of panacea they have taken, so that their faces are not swollen or stiff, their bodies are round and elastic, they age naturally, they look dignified and generous, graceful and luxurious, and they can't tell that they are 76 years old at all.
The traces of time have not erased the great beauty temperament on her body, and the unique charm is still eye-catching. In the process of aging, many people often start with a sense of exhaustion and gradually lose their vitality and spirit, but Sister A is different, she is still full of vitality, exuding vitality in her gestures, her eyes are firm, and her demeanor is calm, giving people a feeling of light and breeze.
The secret of Sister's maintenance is not injections and plastic surgery, but natural aging, which makes her a beautiful elder. However, she did not have children, which may also have helped with her maintenance.
But the most important thing is that she has a young heart, which allows her to live freely and at the same time full of affinity, which is really enviable.
The ancients had clouds, born from the heart, each stage has a unique beauty, and natural aging is also a kind of beauty. Seeing her calmly facing the marks of time, calmly speaking and behaving, you will feel that it is not terrible to grow old, and life is still full of romance and beauty.
The years have never been defeated by beauty, because beauty lies in her temperament and interior, not in appearance. I wish Sister Ah will always be elegant and moving!
