Early experience

Originally named Deng Shaofu, he was born in Sanshui, Guangdong Province. He had a strong interest in Cantonese Opera since he was a child. He had to learn to sing Cantonese opera as a teacher, and then made a living on the stage in the teahouse. Later, the "Taiping opera company" implemented the system of men and women working in the same class. Almost all of the Tiantai female Huadan in Guangzhou were hired by Ma Shi to stage in Taiping theater. Deng Biyun, a new comer, was also hired to study drama in Lanfang Cantonese Opera college in Hong Kong. Qiao Lan Fang is a famous male playwright in Cantonese opera. She is experienced and skilled. Besides, Fang Yanfen, Lin Jiayi, Lin Jiasheng, Chen Haofu and so on also studied drama at Lanfang Cantonese opera academy.

Deng Biyun's works were performed in Macao during the wartime, and performed with Ren Jianhui and other Wen wusheng as the official seal of Huadan. Later, he was hired and returned to Guangzhou to join the giant Troupe "Jin Tian Hua Troupe" at that time as the real principal of the big troupe. Along with Deng Biyun is Zheng Biying. Hong Kong Cantonese Opera circles often say "big sprite sister". Dabi refers to Deng Biyun, while sprite refers to Zheng Biying.

In the late 1940s, Sprite returned to Hong Kong and joined different troupes. Deng Biyun's most popular civil and military students include Xinma Shizeng and Huang qiansui. They are also the most common film partners of Dabie. By the end of the 1950s, Deng Biyun, in response to the audience's taste, also made her own "omnipotent" skills. She set up her own "biyuntian Troupe" and took part in wenwusheng's film. Her leading actors were mainly Li Baoying, Zheng Biying, Wu Junli, and Bo Shuliang Xingbo. As a result, Deng Biyun continued to perform in the "biyuntian" class, and there were still intermittent performances in the 1970s. Until the 1980s, the TV station invited her to participate in the performance of TV series, and opened another stage. He died in Hong Kong in January 1991 at the age of 65.

There are "xinlingjun stealing Fu to save Zhao", "male widow", "romantic son of heaven", "Yang Bamei's marriage", "love monk", "beauty trick", "Wanger Pavilion", "third sister's coming down to earth" and so on. In many films, Deng Biyun moves the "omnipotent" stage image to the front of the screen: in a set of films, she plays the roles of Sheng Dan, some of the ladies, some of the unruly and shrewd, some of the loving mother and filial son. In short, Deng Biyun is the only actor in the history of Cantonese Opera who can perform in such diversity.
