This Chaozhou Shantou opera actress usually plays the male role because of her lower voice (it's not really low, but she definitely sings alto rather than soprano, so in Chinese Opera, it means you play male roles, the pretty boy)

  • wtf that was shit

  • She is an accomplished male impersonator.

  • I was born and raised in Chaozhou til I was 19 and my family decided to lived here in US. I'm 25 now and I can still remember watching shows like this every Sunday morning.

  • Thank you everyone for posting this video and comments. I left HKG some 40 years ago and now I have forgotten all my Chao Zhou dialect. Cannot find anyone in my city to practise. YouTube is the only way I keep up with this dialect but I would like to find more video clips of such... Much appreciated!

  • Remember going with my mum to the Teochew Opera in Singapore when I was a smaal boy. My mum passed away 10 years ago ànd I`m living in Germany. Missed you mum.

  • My dad is 92 years old and of sound mind and healthy. He's from Shantou. Seriously consider getting him a laptop so he can watch these clips. Thank you for posting it!
