This is a work based on traditional Chinese fairy tales, which is very interesting.
I especially like the performances of Mr. Li Qiuyuan and Ms. Huang Xiaofeng. They are excellent actors who are very dexterous and professional. Also, I appreciate your willingness to choose young actors for the roles in the show. For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they do their best to showcase their skills in front of the audience. Among them, the actors of Eight Fairies and Heart of Heart are also very dazzling and lively.
I have been a fan of Cantonese opera since I was young, and of course I am willing to continue to support every carefully produced drama of The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong in the future as an audience.

As a person who has just arrived in Hong Kong and is relatively unfamiliar with Cantonese opera, it is an honor and a great pleasure for me to be invited to attend "Hong Kong Flower Mountain Birthday Celebration".
In the past, when I was in Western countries or staying in China, I read a lot of Cantonese opera books and watched a lot of Chinese opera performances, but they were all about Peking Opera or Kun Opera. The Cantonese opera performance and the audience were enthusiastic and engaged that day, but it touched me deeply.
It’s really difficult to say my favorite part. However, the most unforgettable thing for me is the fast pace and difficult movements of the martial arts masters on stage. I was also struck by the beautiful costumes and the creativity they displayed, and the memory remains vivid even weeks after the event.
I look forward to watching more Cantonese opera performances hosted by The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong in the future, not only so that I can learn more about the history of Cantonese opera, but also to observe the future development of recent Cantonese opera performances in the art form.
