Chan Kam Tong's Life in Showbiz

Chan Kam Tong, a famous Cantonese opera artist known as the "Wu Zhuangyuan," had a unique acting style, combining softness and strength, and excelling in both civil and military roles. Chan had been active in the performing arts industry for nearly a century, and was one of the few veteran actors who had both "Red Boat" and "Painted Boat" experiences. The famous troupe "Jin Tianhua" founded by Chan and his wife, performed many classic plays, leaving a brilliant page in the history of Cantonese opera in the last century. Based on a large amount of graphic and textual materials, and with reference to the precious memories of Chan's family and fellow students, this book recounts Chan Kam Tong's lifelong career in the performing arts, leaving a more comprehensive and in-depth record for the famous actor.
