many fans of Yue opera have seen a rare scene. Jin Yanfang, an 85 year old actor of Yue opera, who has been away from the stage for more than 20 years, appeared on the stage and co starred with his disciple Xu BiaoXin in a piece of "Pearl Tower - seeing aunt in front". The age difference between the two actors is more than 50 years old, one old and the other young. Several young Shaoxing opera actors waiting backstage also couldn't restrain their curiosity to watch from the side of the screen. Qian Huili said: "teacher Jin Yanfang's stage image is really bright. Where can we see that she is 85 years old. This time she appeared to help the younger generation of actors, not only let the audience feast their eyes, but also for us for the first time After the performance, Jin Yanfang said happily, "I'm versatile on the stage, just like ginger and scallion, which can be put on the stage. This time I'm acting with my disciples, I'm here to play for Xu BiaoXin. The future of Yueju Opera belongs to young actors. Only by putting more pressure on them and performing more can they gradually emerge. If there is no chance to perform, after the best performance period, the artistic feeling of young actors will degenerate, and maybe they will "brush past" the audience. What a pity. Xu BiaoXin's conditions are very good. He can be civil and martial. There are very few male students on the stage. To perform his own personality, young actors need to exercise more on the stage. " Xu BiaoXin's four plays in this special performance record his growth track. In his new play li huiniang Fang Pei, Xu BiaoXin eclectically portrays the emotion and character of Pei Shunqing, a character in the play. He skillfully describes the body movements such as long sleeves and hair shaking that are not commonly used by Xiaosheng in Yue Opera.
