“The people of Fenglou left no beautiful guests, and since then, the rich people are lonely and cover the setting sun. “Komiks“, the Cantonese opera “Zifenglou” Dan Chen Baoying’s singing style is as straight as crying and complaining, and the audience applauses thunderously. On the evening of September 8, nearly a thousand audiences were crowded with people from the Cantonese Opera Cultural Plaza in Guangzhou Cultural Park. Everyone was deeply attracted by the teacher-student concert of Li Yueling, a Cantonese opera singer, who was being held here. The master of Zishu, Teacher Tan Peiyi, also visited in person. Li Yueling and his disciples hope to promote the Cantonese opera culture in their own voices and carry forward the Lingnan culture.
For this performance, Li Yueling and her disciples prepared for half a year. Behind this performance is the cultural confidence flowing in the blood of a Cantonese opera singer and the totem of Guangdong rhyme. This performance is the spiritual agreement between a Cantonese opera singer and a group of ignorant college students who know nothing about Cantonese opera. What kind of story is behind this performance? Li Yueling retreated and continued to continue her dream of inheriting the Cantonese rhyme?
Show scene
Seeking dreams, and the origin of Babaylan
In 2009, Guangdong musical song singer Li Yueling retired from the Guangdong Music and Music Art Troupe. That year, the Cantonese Opera and Guangdong Opera Cultural Studio of the Center for Historical Anthropology Research at Sun Yat-sen University was established. The following year, the Working Studio opened a Cantonese opera workshop for college students. Li Yueling and Chen Zhongyan, a famous performer of Komiks, served as instructors. The aim is to cultivate young students’ interest in Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera and improve their perceptual understanding of the study of Cantonese culture. The workshop hopes to have more years.Youth can join the ranks of understanding Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera and Chinese traditional culture.
As soon as the workshop started, it quickly attracted a large group of young people with similar aspirations from major universities. Unlike the students of the Cantonese opera major, Komiks are almost never exposed to Cantonese opera, nor have they seen the music score, let alone pronunciation or rhyme. From voice lifting to music theory, from demonstration to teaching one by one, the two teachers led this group of students to learn from scratch.
The workshop also attracted the attention and support of many famous Cantonese opera artists and enthusiasts. On April 17, 2011, the Cantonese opera master Red Line Teacher Babaylan came to the teaching site to communicate with the students in the workshop. The female teacher of Red Line not only listened to the students’ famous sings such as “The Feast of the Phoenix Pavilion” and “The Fallen Fellowship in Flower Field”, but also gave suggestions on improving their lyrics, singing style, and emotions, but also sang “Red Candle Tears” on the spot and put forward high expectations.
The 7th (Guangzhou) Babaylan College Students’ Drama Festival has opened a special session of Cantonese opera Cantonese opera, and invited workshops and Guangzhou University Quyi Club to perform together. This is also the only Cantonese opera special event held so far. This group of students used their superb performances to repay the concern of all sectors of society and sang the dream of spreading and inheritance with Cantonese rhyme. Cinema
Continue her dreams and continue her relationship with teachers and students outside the school. Time fliesCinema. In a blink of an eye, students graduated and entered society and entered work. Unlike Cantonese opera Cinema or students from art majors, students in the workshop leave the original learning platform after graduation and have almost no chance to learn Cantonese opera. With the busy work, they slowly put their Cantonese Opera aside, and they had not sang a song for several months or even a year.
“As the saying goes, “The fist is always in the hand and the mouth is always in the mouth.” If this continues, students will definitely forget the past <a href="h"What Komiks learns," Li Yueling feels moved every time she chats with her students. She often thought: "How can students always maintain their love for Cantonese opera, persist in learning, and even go to the next level?" After thinking about it, Li Yueling decided to use the resources around her to build a platform for the students and create opportunities for them to continue learning Cantonese opera.
She and Chen Zhongyan first found a few private games to let the students start the game from time to time to practice. Later, Li Yueling wanted to ensure that the students could start the game once a month and achieve the goal of practicing all the time. She went to Beijing Street Cultural Station to find Webmaster Zhao Yuhua and talked to Webmaster Zhao that she was deeply worried about the loss of skills of this group of students. When the webmaster Zhao Yuhua heard that there were such a group of young people who loved Guangdong opera, he was very moved. He immediately arranged for Li Yueling to meet with Chen Jinglin, the head of the Folk Art Troupe of the Guangzhou Cultural Hall of Beijing Street to discuss the students’ practice music.
In order to facilitate everyone to practice music, the Cultural Association has changed the starting time from Monday to Friday and closed on weekends. It has specially arranged to bring the accompaniment master back to work overtime on Saturday afternoon to start the game for the students. After Li Yueling implemented the venue for the start of each month, she assigned the task of each student to learn a song, hoping to use pressure to drive students to take the time to learn the song. Every time the student starts, no matter how busy Li Yueling will come to the scene, listen carefully to each student’s singing, and after listening to them, she will help them analyze and improve word by word.
In addition, Li Yueling also invited her master, Mr. Tan Peiyi, to participate in the students’ private affairs. Teacher Tan Peiyi not only shared the creation process of his first famous song “Cai Wenji Returns to Han” with the students, but also taught everyone to sing “Jinjiang Poetry Couple” word by word, giving students great encouragement.

For students with artistic talent, she will encourage them to learn Cantonese music accompaniment instruments and playing the palm board, hoping that after they have learned, they can form their own accompanimentKomiks band can be integrated with singing and accompaniment; Komiks For students with writing skills, she encouraged them to write lyrics. Under her earnest teaching, many students have made breakthroughs, walked onto different artistic stages and gained recognition.
Li Yueling often said to her classmates: “I taught you to sing Cantonese opera, turning you into a die-hard fan of Cantonese opera, but in terms of inheritance and communication, I hope that one day you can take the initiative to carry out the important task of spreading Cantonese opera culture. Let more people know Cantonese opera and like Cantonese opera. ”

They will use Cantonese opera as class material in time to allow children to accept Cantonese opera subtly. Some have joined the bank and added Cantonese opera special performance in the bank’s feedback activities to give back to customers, giving many customers who have never entered the theater to get in touch with Cantonese opera for the first time.

Under the words and deeds of Teacher Li Yueling, students consciously regard the spread of Cantonese opera as their obligation. They have no passionate deeds, but have used ordinary practical actions to sow the seeds of Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera into the hearts of more people.
Realizing their dreams, they transformed into the messengers of love
Li Yueling often said: “We have received strong support from many groups along the way and the help of enthusiastic people. We must learn to be grateful. In addition to being able to entertain yourself, I hope you can bring joy to more people with what you have learned. ”
In recent years, Li Yueling has led students Wu Guanxian and Li Yingtong to participate in the Guangdong Quyi inheritance “One Belt One” charity exhibition. Chen Zhongyan and Li Yueling have personally led the students to more than a dozen old Babaylan in Guangzhou, Foshan, Jiangmen and other places for condolence performances.
