They were called "You Ji" and "Shi Niang". Each of them should master the singing with different foot colors, and one person can sing with multiple foot colors, which has made a new development in singing skills than the "eight-tone class". This kind of singing has been popular for more than 60 years, and it is called "Jenny period" in the history of Cantonese opera.
