Xiaomi (Chen Fenggui), a national treasure singer and opera actor known as the "Spirit of Change", entered the Yixia Song and Dance Troupe before the age of 14, and with her innate talent for acting, she followed her father to sing well at the age of 6, and soon became a popular pillar under the cultivation of the choreographer Wang Yuexia, and was named one of the "Five Phoenixes of Yixia". A few days ago, I went to the "Public Television Art Avenue" to share the life of the singer and opera that has been active for nearly half a century.
Founded in the early 1960s, the Yixia Song and Dance Troupe has been active for nearly half a century, and in its heyday it swept all over Taiwan and even Southeast Asia, rivaling the Japanese Takarazuka Song and Dance Troupe, and is still talked about by the older generation. The "Kasumi Girls" who are beautiful in front of people, who have to measure their legs in the group exam, live a group life like a soldier, practice classes according to the table every day, get up early to clean up and practice, Xiaomi said, "We look very beautiful and beautiful on the outside, in fact, we must endure a lot of things."
Talking about her first impression of the Yixia Song and Dance Troupe, Xiaomi said that it was master Wang Yuexia who quickly turned around on the stage and flew the red sequin pants under the dance dress, when she thought to herself, "Wow, so beautiful, if I can have the opportunity to wear this dress in the future, I don't know how good." The origin of Xiaomi's stage name is that before the debut, the host saw that she was small and very cute, so he called her Xiaomi. Unexpectedly, this name, a name is more than fifty years, and after the dissolution of the Yixia Song and Dance Troupe in 1984, with Yang Lihua's invitation, she switched to TV opera, and later stage operas continued to be used, accompanying her through half a century of opera years.
