New Horse Master Zeng (June 20, 1916 – April 21, 1997), formerly known as Deng Yongxiang, also known as New Ma Zai, was a well-known Cantonese opera actor and film actor in Hong Kong. His major works include "Sable Cicada", "Xi Shi", "Lying Down and Tasting Bile" and so on. Deng Yongxiang's parents divorced when he was 8 years old, his father Deng Qi made a living from gambling, and was a Cantonese opera fan, 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 xing zun He Xiaoji, and was referred to He Shounian to learn art, and made rapid progress through traditional gong training; a year later, he went to Shantou to act in the name of "Taiping Unification", and when he first stepped on the platform, he was known as a "prodigy" regardless of the singing and dancing steps. 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.

Later, he performed at the Taiping Theatre in Hong Kong, and the venue was full, and the theater turned into a profit. Deng Yongxiang performed on the Lee Stage at the age of 10 and met his birth mother. At the age of 17, after returning to his "free body" (away from the original master of learning art), he followed Xue Jue to learn art first. Later, he went to Shanghai to enjoy the famous Peking Opera linglin Shuyuan and Gai Mingtian, and learned Peking Opera from Lin, singing in its own style. In the future, his career has been smooth sailing, and he has made films and opera records. 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 (somewhat called "back of the brain"), which was majestic, strongly resonant, 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. In the 1950s, the new horse master took over the film like other red men at the time; in addition to Cantonese opera drama films, he also collaborated as a comedian with Tang Ji Chen to perform in the Doa Fook and Two Fools series of films. In 1960, Xinma Shi founded Yongxiang Records, and in addition to recording many of his famous songs, he also recorded Peking Opera records.

Malay

sunma sze tsang (新马师曾, xin mashizeng. 20 june 1916-21 April 1997), whose original name was deng yongxiang, also called san maazai and called by your generation as "coeng go" (meaning big brother xiang).born in the shunde district of foshan city, provinceguangdong, he was a cantonese opera performer and film actor. His main works include diaochan, xishi and yueking revival. When he was eight years old, his father deng qi, a gambler and a fan of cantonese opera, divorced his mother luo lian and he had to follow his mother to live in hong kong. while luo worked as a home helper, deng was driven from home with hard service by his father's concubine and lived on the streets. Fortunately he was taken as a foster child by an entertainer from whom he studied the show. When he performs at a tea restaurant, he is appreciated by the noble master of thehoera ho sai-gei (何细纪, he xiji), who then introduces him to the he shounian opera. Armed with a bit of traditional acrobatic training, he made amazing progress. A year later, in shantou, when he made his debut, he could already show professionalism and therefore be regarded by the people as an "extraordinary talent". because he was good at persuading the tsang at that time, his teacher gave his stage name sun ma sze tsang, which means "ma si tsangbaharu".

When he performs at the taiping hong kong opera stage, his tickets are always sold out. Thanks to him, the stage survived the debt. At the age of 10, Deng performed at the lee plazateater now in hong kong and reunited with his mother luo lian.but until the age of 17 he was able to leave his acrobatic teacher to learn from the coke-sinper presentation of the canton opera. Then he went keshanghai, where he watched a performance from the opera cast of the famous lin shuyuan and jiaotian gai. he learned the opera of the peking from the lin and developed his own style. The years to come saw his smooth journey in filmmaking and opera recording. With a skinny and short-sighted, he is adept at performing the guangong opera (genreopera peking). In order to further extend his research on peking opera, he also went to shanghai and had close ties with performers such as lin shusen and qilin tong. In general, his guangong opera has the hallmarks of a peking opera. I'm good at singing the old-fashioned way, but it's more of a peking style. His unique singing method is called "sun ma style". In fact, it can draw strength from others and produce its own characteristics. for example, he borrowed a lagoonnyin from siu ming-sing (小明星, xiao mingxing), but made some innovations to spread the sound further so that the audience could hear more clearly. By combining "the sound of the echo of the back brain" (a method of peking opera singing that channels "qi" to the back brain for sound vibrations), he makes his voice sound powerful and firm. When performing with a coke-sin sit, he sings with his back on the microphone to better show his voice. In the 1950s, Deng began acting in films as other opera performers did. As a comedian, he collaborated with a dengjichen comic star in a serial film ah fu and two morons. In 1960, he commissioned a yongxiang record company, recording his own songs and singing opera songs.
