One of Hong Kong’s finest young Cantonese opera talents, Lam Tin-yau, performed in Wu Song the Tiger Killer and The Gilded Fan at the 42nd Hong Kong Arts Festival in 2014. In his #MyHKAFStory, he describes an unforgettable experience learning through his collaboration with prominent Cantonese opera artist Lam Kar-sing.

“In addition to him guiding me through [Wu Song the Tiger Killer], I am most appreciative that Mr Lam gifted me the precious sword that he used when he played the role himself. I still have the sword at home. I take it every now and then to reminisce about my apprenticeship with Mr Lam.”
