Wai Fong is Kong Chow Wui Koon's opera troupe's lead 'wen-wu sheng'. She fell in love with chinese opera when she was young
partly due to her father's involvement in opera work. She performed on an ad hoc basis during her younger days. She got into
the mainstream of opera performance when she joined Kong Chow Wui Kwun's opera troupe in 1975. Over the years, of the many
roles she played the most memorable was 'Luk Yow', a well-known poet in the Sung Dynasty, in the famous opera "A Broken
Dream : 40 years of unfulfilled Love". In this opera she had to play the role from youth to old age. Her wish is
that more people will love and appreciate chinese operas.
