This cassette tape is a live recording published in Taiwan, about 1995, when the three troupes of the China Peking Opera House had just resumed their structure, with Liu Changyu as the head of the troupe, and this "Dragon Play Phoenix" was a performance led by Liu Changyu to Taiwan. Liu Changyu as Li Fengjie and Liu Xueqin as The Zhengde Emperor. Liu Changyu does not need to introduce more, everyone is familiar with the model play "Red Lantern" Li Tiemei's actor, focusing on Liu Xueqin, who has the reputation of "Liu Sisheng".

Liu Xueqin may not be well-known to ordinary audiences, but he has an image that is definitely an impression of audiences who have seen the model play, that is, the traffic officer in "Red Light". Although this role is an inconspicuous supporting role, there are also some small twists and turns in the history of the creation and performance of "Red Lantern".
Liu Xueqin played a traffic officer in the movie "Red Light"
In the early performance script of "Red Lantern", the traffic officer was once sacrificed, and in the continuous shaping of Li Yuhe's musical image later, the role of the traffic officer was able to "come back to life", and there was also Li Yu and the popular "take care of the mountains and rivers along the way".

Liu Xueqin entered the Northeast Opera School in 1953, the Chinese Opera School in 1955, and graduated in 1962. Mainly attacking Wusheng and Wenwu Laosheng, he studied under Wang Lianping, Ru Fulan, Sun Yukun, Li Hongchun, Liu Yanfang, etc., and was good at acting in plays such as "Picking A Scooter", "Changsaka Slope", and "An Arrow of Vengeance". In 1965, he joined the Peking Opera House of China. He has performed with Liu Xiurong, Zhu Bingqian, Yuan Guolin, Li Weikang, Yang Qiuling, Wang Jinghua, Liu Changyu, Zhang Manling and other famous artists. He often performs plays "Red Lantern Record", "Plain Battle", "Bayi Storm", "Butterfly Love Flower", "En Vengeance", "Golden Lock En Vengeance", "Shen Hai Ji", "Zhi Zhi Sheng Chengang", "Yangmen Female General", "Spring Grass Breaking Into the Hall", "Dragon Play Phoenix", "Jin Yunu", "Flower Field Mistake", "Yushu Backyard Flower" and so on.

The reason why Liu Xueqin was called "Liu Sisheng" by his peers was because the drama road was really too wide, and it was not difficult to see from the teachers he inherited that his main work drama was Wusheng and Supplemented by Wusheng, but Ru Fulan also taught him Xiaosheng opera, and Li Hongchun also taught him Hongsheng opera. Of course, his roles are not necessarily the first protagonist, but as a second-way supporting role, he also does his best to "green leaves with red flowers". For example, "Flower Field Mistake" is completely a small student with a small voice, not an old student with a big voice.

Liu Xueqin played Taibai Venus in "Haunted Heavenly Palace"
Liu Xueqin presented the most in the performance of Wen wu laosheng, such as the medicine picking old man in "Yangmen Female General" singing in the speech school, and in "Haunting the Heavenly Palace", it is the former rush taibai venus (lao sheng) and the later catch erlang god (wu sheng).
