What a legend she was - and remains. https://www.avenueofstars.com.hk/wp-content/uploads/feature-photo/019_%E4%BB%BB%E5%8A%8D%E8%BC%9D-coverf.jpg #任劍輝 #YamKimFai #CantoneseOpera #HongKong #OldChineseFilms #gender #Cinema #Theatre #LGBTQ #YamPak

And #BookOfTheYear number 3 is this beautiful signed book of photos of #CantoneseOpera star Pak Suet-Sin (#白雪仙) mostly with her partner Yam Kim-Fai (#任劍輝). The #photographs are wonderful (and there are lots). The presentation is exquisite. The English title is: ‘How do you know how spring is like this - Pak Suet-Sin Collection Album (Numbered & Signed Edition)’

It doesn’t matter how many times I watch Yam Kim-Fai (#任劍輝), I can’t see ‘him’ as a woman. It fascinates me. Pak Suet-Sin (#白雪仙) fascinates me full stop. https://youtube.com/watch?v=x3FMOYHyZek&feature=share #YamKimFai #PakSuetSin #CantoneseOpera #HongKong #ChineseOpera

#CantoneseOpera is one of the most ‘different’ performance traditions I’ve ever encountered but Pak Suet-sin / #白雪仙 and her partner Yam Kim-fai / #任劍輝 have won me over. Their chemistry is extraordinary. Pak is luminous and her face is constantly ‘talking’ to you. Yam has a lovely mixture of nobility & vulnerability. The energy is VERY different from #Takarazuka.
