Cantonese opera has gone through many ups and downs to become what it is today. Before the heyday of Hong Kong pop music, Cantonese opera was an important form of entertainment that was popular with the masses. How did it evolve from the "big eight sounds" - a concert that only sang full-length operas without any action - to the song-only music industry? How did Cantonese opera singers break free from their tragic fate and rise to fame? This is the story of the development of Cantonese opera. Mr. Lu Jin, a well-known Hong Kong storyteller and senior journalist, details the development of the Hong Kong Cantonese opera industry and the life stories of early Cantonese opera singers and players through first-hand interviews. He also interviewed people from the music industry at the time to collect as much information as possible about their famous works, making the book both interesting and informative.
