Lu Di Yuan

-
Lu Di Yuan is a very talented pekin opera actor acting lao sheng. He won a pekin opera award when he was 6 and was one of the '4 little lao sheng' in China. Looks cute right...

However, he found out that he had leukemia when he was going to 17 years old. It has been a year since he started fighting the disease and he has lost all his hair due to the treatment.

I felt rather sad for him as he was really a talented actor.That's him at 17 before losing his hair...

And him after he lost his hair. He wanted to stop the treatment as the treatment was very expensive but his classmates gather donations by peforming. Classmates including Wang Pei Yu, Mu Yu and Chang Qiu Yue.

Fans all over china donated money for him for the operations. There are even fans from Japan gathering donations for him....
A manga drawing of lu di yuan.. Nice. I like the drawing.. so cute!

I just realised that I have an excerpt done by him when he was 9 years old. The excerpt is very nice and he sang very well.



Hope he recovers soon!

Reminds me of the show in [Monkey Babe] which depicts a warm and sad story of an acclaimed shaoju opera who died of leukemia when he was barely 16 or 17.It is a true story and he was the 2nd brother of the famous actor who acted Monkey God in the serials - Journey to the West.

Monkey babe is a nice show but too bad I cant get to find it now~

Lu di yuan is still struggling with his disease i think. There were no further news of him.

If not wrong, his (artistic) name should be "Xiao Liu Ling Tong" right?

Anyway, I've read that Lu Diyuan had his operation already in April, now still under observation, but had moved back to normal ward already. That means his condition should be getting better now.

Heheh... If she doesn't protest, that means she's "guilty" lor! (guilty = busy with work... =P) Anyway, I heard now another Peking opera actor was diagnosed with some cancer or something, and lately there was another charity performance to raise fund for his operation. If not wrong, his name is Guowei.. just ROM only!

A very crowded troupe

-

3 more students joined COI. That officially makes COI GZX troupe a very crowded troupe. In fact, overly crowded. There are 21 students now and including Ang, we will have 22 actresses/actors. Ang is going to have problems squeezing in all the students into 1 show. I don't think there are lots of shows which have 22 roles. Bao Hua and Zhu Ying has joined us for some time so they are not considered newbie already (MD mentioned that they are newbies in his blog). The 3 newbies I am talking about are Wanru, Si Qing and Ai Qing. Si Qing and Ai Qing are not sisters. They just happened to have 'Qing' in their names. I have not taken pictures of Siqing and Aiqing but I will try to take some and blog. I have got a few pics of Wanru but I will blog another day. As usual, Ang did her usual rounds of asking whether the newbies want to be dan or be shengs. Frankly speaking, both roles are overly crowded already. Competition is getting strong but still, we are still harmoniously getting ...

Yesterday we had a performance at Holland Road Blk 2. I was doing the excerpt 'Broken Bridge' of Madam white snake and the others were doing Tang Bo Hu. I couldn't find a Xu Xian (YH dun like this role) so I got no choice but to ask Naiba for help. Heng he was free that day to help us. Kanglong found a very nice spot to take photos and everyone took photos at that spot.... I think this spot is nice too with the pillar behind and the flowers and the white background... Me and Naiba... Hmm, too bad his face kana hidden in shadow lor. Susan as green snake. I didn't realise that she was wearing the costume wrongly lor.. haiz, too late to inform her liao... I like to act with Naiba cuz I don't look fat with him. I stomach pain... need to go toilet... :P Pain until cannot walk le.... sob sob... Cannot find toilet, I very sad.... I believe the toilet is there..... Cannot find toilet, I think I better take a break here... Believe me, I know where the toilet is.... Green sn...

N+1

I was browsing the internet looking at opera related videos when I came across a song 'N+1' sang by Chris Lee. Man, I was surprised by the opera elements in the song! She combined hip hop and chinese opera (like Jay and Lee Hom) and the MTV is quite nice. It's like abit of hip hop dance and some chinese opera. Chris Lee even dressed up in opera 'wu dan' costume! Hee hee, but she looked a bit weird. Her actions are good but looks wise, weird. Ok, the MTV. I should learn to sing this song. Lol...
