[Same period] Hong Kong post-90s new generation Cantonese opera actor Qian Shan
We usually practice basic skills. We will definitely loosen and press the legs first, then we will do some kicking, and then we will shoot and practice guns. Basically I have to practice every day, about three hours.
[Commentary] Qian Shan, a new generation of Cantonese opera actor after 90s in Hong Kong, has been in contact with Cantonese opera for 15 years. She has an average of 4 to 5 shows every month, but from the end of January, all of her shows have been cancelled.

I know for the time being that these four months (shows) were cancelled, and a total of at least 17 shows (shows) were cancelled. It must be very disappointing in itself, because preparations were already started six months ago.
【Commentary】On January 23, Hong Kong announced the first confirmed case of new coronary pneumonia, and the fight against epidemic in Hong Kong was officially launched. With the spread of the epidemic in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government has introduced a number of measures to control the flow of people, and public places such as bars, theaters and mahjong halls have also been closed.
[Commentary] Most Cantonese opera actors do not have a fixed income. The industry fell into a cold winter, the actors switched careers, and Qian Shan found a new stage to show himself.

In fact, this is my first time doing this. In addition to sharing some of my past performances, this clip can also introduce Cantonese opera to some friends who do not know Cantonese opera. Can reach a broader audience level.

Hello, Chen Yixing Shangchao Building. Ok, then, it’s okay. You can eat enough. Prince 200 West, I received it and I will deliver it soon. Thank you.
[Commentary] Like Qian Shan, restaurant owner Xingge also found a new sales model.
[Commentary] Star Brother is the head of the old brand "Chen Yixing Hotel" in Chaozhou, Hong Kong. This signboard has the first takeaway service since his father was founded 50 years ago.
[Scene] Who will send it? Are you going?
[Same period] Hong Kong restaurant owner Xingge
I have been in the business for forty years. I have never tried cold food or Chaozhou cuisine as a takeaway. Now try it for me. It is a historical record. It will cost a little, and there are also some taxis. If you buy a thousand pieces, it will cost you about 200 pieces.
[Commentary] Not only Star Brother, the waiter in the shop or even the shop director also turned into a delivery operator and a food delivery staff. Under the new challenge of the epidemic, everyone is changing their role.

This group of young people are willing to do it. Without the second sentence, everyone has the heart to think about doing this well. If you want to overcome it together, I think (overcoming the epidemic) is not difficult.

Let's start with the lecture. I sit in the middle, Halo sits on the left hand side facing the camera, and my sister sits on the right hand side.
[Commentary] When Star Brother is about to usher in the business peak of the day, Michelle's day's work has just begun. Michelle has been working as a wedding coordinator for nearly ten years. Tonight, she has a new challenge. She will usher in the first live broadcast of her career.

We actually started tonight's live broadcast at 9 o'clock, then what are we doing here at this time, is to list the position, process and positioning of the three of us while waiting for the live broadcast, what each person's role should talk about.
[Explanation] Three to four hours before the live broadcast, Michelle and two other wedding experts have arrived at the live broadcast venue. A one-hour live broadcast requires an operation team of nearly 10 people to plan one week in advance and arrange it half a day in advance.
[Commentary] arrives at 9 o'clock, the live broadcast starts on Facebook on time. Soon, the three live broadcasters gained their first praise, and in the end this live broadcast brought them nearly two hundred potential customers.

In fact, this time it was a pair of more than one hundred different people who watched the live broadcast, and the mood was exciting. Because I really want to use this platform to share some information with everyone.
[Same period] Liu Jianbang, chief planner of the live broadcast platform of the wedding industry
During the outbreak, I believe that the wedding industry business should fall by at least 40% to 60%, but through our online publicity and display, this lost distance can be reduced by 20% to 30%. I think it is also a long-term development direction .
[Commentary] An epidemic caught everyone off guard. Some people stick to it, some give up, others bravely take steps, take new steps, and try new ways. This is a challenge for each of us.
[Same period] Liu Jianbang, chief planner of the live broadcast platform of the wedding industry
Now it is a real turning point. Whether you are in a traditional industry or a newly created industry, I think it is necessary to keep changing and seeking progress in response to the times.

I think of course this stage is getting bigger, because you can reach more different people. There are many things about Cantonese opera that can really be introduced. As long as I have time, I will continue to record clips and share with you.
[Same period] Hong Kong restaurant owner Xingge
Of course, the epidemic hit me a few punches in my chest. We are doing retail business. But there is no way to do this, we are over here, we open the file every day, no downsizing, and willingness to survive, this is also the spirit of our people in Hong Kong.
