The great old official of modern Cantonese opera who is unknown to everyone in Guangdong - Xinma Shi Zeng (Deng Yongxiang)

Deng Yongxiang, aliases: New Horse Master Zeng, New Horse Boy, Xiang Ge

When he was 8 years old, his parents divorced, his father Deng Qi made a living from gambling, and was a Fan of Cantonese opera, his mother Luo Lian; after the divorce, he came to live with his mother in Hong Kong, during his mother's period as a domestic worker, Deng was often scolded by his mother, and finally ran away from home to wander the streets, and then met jianghu artists to take in and learn art, during the tea house performance, he was appreciated by the old xingzun He Xiaoji, and was referred to He Shou Nian to learn art, and the results of traditional kung fu training made a breakthrough;

A year later, in the name of "Taiping Unification", he went to Shantou to act, and when he first stepped on the stage, he was known as a "prodigy" regardless of singing and dancing. At that time, he was good at imitating Ma Shi Zeng, so his master changed the stage name of "New Ma Shi Zeng" to him. During this period, his fame was recognized in Guangdong, especially a song "The Head of All Evils and Fornications" was sung in the streets and alleys. The status is comparable to that of Mei Lanfang in the north.

Although Xinma is small in stature, he is good at performing "Guan Opera", and has studied Peking Opera, and has gone to Shanghai to study art, and has been closely related to Peking Opera artists such as Lin Shusen and Qilin Tong. Basically, the "Guan Opera" in Singapore and Malaysia is based on Peking Opera. The new horse master was once one of the contemporary masters who was good at performing ancient sounds, but it was quite "Jinghua". Its singing voice is self-contained, called "new horse cavity". In fact, the new Malaysian singing voice can win the strengths of the people, and then form personal characteristics, such as he absorbs the southern singing skills of the little star, but in order to adapt to the stage performance, he spits out more words so that the words can be transmitted far. He integrated the luck singing voice of Peking Opera for his own use, the atmosphere was majestic, the resonance was strong, and the cavity was complete and rich, and when he performed on the same stage with Xue Juexian, he often stood on the side of the stage and sang with his back to the microphone to show his majestic voice line.

Of course, the success of the cause has allowed XiangGe to get a lot of wealth and also do a lot of charity, so there is a title of charity king in Hong Kong. On 21 April 1997, The New Horse Division died of illness in Hong Kong. From a tramp to a billion-dollar family property, his spirit is most worthy of contemporary learning.
