I thought to myself that I was not a genius, and the only thing I could rely on was to sweat more, suffer more hardships, and never waver in my confidence and will to devote myself to Cantonese opera. Looking back on the past three decades, my heart is filled with gratitude. In the process of learning and practicing art, I have also been deeply taught and cultivated by many peers or seniors and teachers in related industries, and the scene in this situation is like a history in front of me. ——Gai Minghui
