On the evening of February 21, the topic of "Liu Sanjie Huang Wanqiu is critically ill and comatose" attracted attention.
A reporter from Chinanews.com confirmed from Huang Wanqiu's husband, He Youcai, that she is currently in the intensive care unit of the hospital and has been admitted for more than 10 days.
"Liu Sanjie" comes from the folklore of the Zhuang nationality in Guangxi.
Long Qian introduced that the stage play of "Liu Sanjie" began as early as 1959.
In 1961, the movie "Liu Sanjie" starring Huang Wanqiu was released and became popular at home and abroad.
"Her performances are simple and lively, and she became famous overnight at that time, which really established our cultural symbol of 'Liu Sanjie' in Guangxi."
For decades, Huang Wanqiu has been very concerned about the inheritance of Guangxi drama culture.
Long Qian said that after Teacher Huang Wanqiu returned to her hometown of Guilin, in addition to establishing the "Song Fairy Liu Sanjie" theater in 2001 and insisting on performing on stage, she also passed on the performance and singing of "Liu Sanjie" to her daughter and granddaughter. The family has three generations. They are all promoting and disseminating the "Liu Sanjie" story that "fits people's yearning and pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty".
The brand of "Liu Sanjie" stage play has been constantly innovating and improving in recent years.
The Guangxi Theater Theater rehearsed and rehearsed the drama "New Liu Sanjie", which endowed the classic characters with contemporary connotations and premiered in 2019.
"At that time, the teacher sent a congratulatory letter and called me specifically to encourage us, saying that this way of cultural inheritance of 'Liu Sanjie' and such performances should be performed more and go out more." Long Qian recalled.

Knowing that Huang Wanqiu was seriously ill, all walks of life and netizens prayed for her.
"I hope Teacher Huang can survive the difficulties, overcome the serious illness, and continue to sing 'Liu Sanjie'." Xie Zhongguo, a cultural collector and researcher of Liu Sanjie, also said.
Xie Zhonghua has been engaged in propaganda work in the cultural system of Guangxi District.
Anyone who has visited his home will be deeply impressed by his house full of "Liu Sanjie" cultural collections.
Since 1998, Xie Zhongguo went to many antique and second-hand book markets inside and outside Guangxi to search for treasures for the museum dream of "Liu Sanjie". In the early years, the newspapers in various provinces reported the national tour of "Liu Sanjie", and the completed script of the movie "Liu Sanjie".
Xie Zhongguo said that as a "song fairy fan", he will establish "Liu Sanjie Cultural Platform" and "Liu Sanjie Cultural Exhibition" this year to contribute to the better popularization, promotion, inheritance and development of "Liu Sanjie" culture. Tell the Chinese stories that originated in Guangxi, so that the excellent traditional Chinese culture such as "Liu Sanjie" can be passed on from generation to generation.
