in many other aspects. Were there any hostage situation, such individual is also another dark soul in Cantonese opera community with nothing but a gravy train in mind. It is also obvious not the way to heed the 2012 advice properly. The Yam legacy titles have been instantly gratifying for generations still in infancy as a performer. As a result, they skip the essential foundation courses and perform these legendary titles en masse. Contemporary performers took in pupils within years as six-pillar member of troupes to elevate themselves to the status of guru. They have audiovisual resources from the market as well as private collection to copy/learn from or even, in return for remunerations, teach followers of their own (the let's watch the video class).

Yam is two generations Loong's senior and had complete control over whether Loong taking in students or not throughout the 30-year mentorship.

Misspent youth. Never good enough to play second fiddle to Loong or last around Lam. graduate, respectably, opined that Cantonese
