Senior Min Fan said

The on-site white snake romance brought me a completely different feeling from the film and the opera stage video, and this immersive immersion in the plot made me more deeply feel the actor's extremely subtle emotional changes and solid and rigorous basic skills. In The eyes of Teacher Xiaomin, I can often feel that in a kind of almost broken and desperate, love and hope are born. Such a look is the strong personal charm of the actor, and it is also the mystery of the charm of Cantonese opera. This made me resonate with the character deeply, and I couldn't calm down for a long time after the play. ——Beijing audience

Bai Niangzi and Xu Xian met at first sight in the scene of "Love", and the two looked at each other affectionately under the umbrella to give the audience a feeling of excitement. This scene impressed me very much and was very romantic. ——Foshan audience
