Tu Xinghua's artistic achievements.

When Tu Xinghua studied drama in the Australian women's class, she could memorize the content by copying Fu Zi because she had studied it for two years. In addition to Fu Zi, a junior student, she also copied Danny and Fu Zi, an old student, remembering more and more. Compared with her illiterate sisters in the class, she knows more about drama and has a wide range of ways. Later, she also served as a master of drama. She concentrated on her studies and made rapid progress. In the opening play of the girls' class "Double Pearl Phoenix", she played a beautiful young man with extraordinary artistic skills, which won the praise of the audience. As the first female student of women's Yue Opera, she is also the first explorer who has been hanging out with male artists for a long time. 193 1 autumn, she went to Shanghai to cooperate with Dan, a famous old student, Tong Zhengchu and Xie, a famous ugly girl. She scrimped and saved in order to put on a good play. She often goes to bookstores and bookshops to buy many precious books, songbooks and biographies. Whenever she has time, she reads, copies many vivid lyrics from the book into the play book, recites them repeatedly, knows them by heart, and uses them in the singing of the characters. Therefore, her drama was well sung and was praised as a "literary minority" by the tabloids at that time. After the outbreak of "November 28th", he changed his name to Tu Xinghua and went to perform at Yongjiang Grand Theatre in Ningbo. Since then, she is still keen to cooperate with the male class in acting, so as to learn Xiao Sheng's acting skills from male class artists. Her superb acting skills are inseparable from her diligent exploration in art.1In the spring of 933, Tu Xinghua and Bai Yumei Troupe, one of the "Four Famous Dances" in Yongcheng, performed the drama "San Xiao's Wedding" in Zhongshan Garden, Ningbo. Tu Xinghua plays Tang Bohu and Bai Yumei plays Chou-heung. Bai Yumei is witty, naive and lovely, more like a woman than a woman; Tu Xinghua, on the other hand, is very attractive and more like a man than a man. In "Chasing the Boat", Bai made a quick detour, showing the solid foundation and superb skills of the male class artists. TuXingHua also not weakness, follow up. At that time, men and women lived together. Men dressed as women and women dressed as men performed on the same stage, and the audience could not tell the difference between men and women. Tu Xinghua's fame spread all over Ningbo. Long-term performance on the same stage with male class artists has enabled Tu Xinghua to fully absorb the performing arts of male class artists and melt into herself, forming a unique performance style for female students of Yue Opera, paving the way for the transition from male class to female class. Her contribution cannot be underestimated.

Ginkgo biloba, a combination of painted apricot flowers and stones, is not only an unforgettable event in the lives of two first-generation Yueju actresses, but also the starting point for the rapid development of women's Yueju opera. As early as during his apprenticeship, Tu Xinghua and Shi Qing were sisters. Tu Xinghua often goes home to play and calls Shi's parents "father's mother". Shi's parents also regard her as their own children. In the opening drama "Double Pearl Phoenix" in the class, the two cooperated tacitly and won the host's love. They become the "pillars" in the class if they don't leave work. Together, they performed Jade Dragonfly, Two Plums, Four Fragrances, Jade Chain, Meng Lijun and so on. Ginkgo biloba will always be a congenial couple on the stage. On September 6th, 1936, they performed on the same stage again in the name of "the first stage of Shaoxing Opera" in Qian Qiu, Shaoxing. At that time, Shi was already "beautiful in flowers and beautiful in the moon", while Tu Xinghua was "both civil and military, in full bloom". Their cooperative performance made Yue Opera win more audiences and spread to Shanghai. At the end of this year, French businessman Shanghai EMI Music Record Company invited Shi, Tu Xinghua and Shen Xing Mei to make more than ten Yue Opera records in Shanghai (released in the names of Li Ge Records Company, Erli, Pan Fu, Persuading Qiuxiang, Meng Lijun Seeing Pictures, Loutai Club, etc.).

1938 Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the "first stage" with ginkgo as its pillar set off from Shaoxing and moved to Shanghai, and successively performed the famous old plays Panfusov, Butterfly Lovers and Jade Hairpin in Taiyuan Theater, Empress Theater, Greater China Theater and Tianxiang Theater. During this period, the most memorable one was1July, 939. The "first issue" performed Thunderstorm according to Cao Yu's original work, with Tu Xinghua as the role, Shi as the role, Zhou Baokui as the mother, Sifeng in Cai Qin, Zhi Lanfang as Shi Ping, and Ma Yiqin as Zhou Chong and Shi Fu. These actors were all famous Shaoxing opera actors who sang in Shanghai at that time. These famous singers performed masterpieces and caused a sensation in Shanghai. Tu Xinghua plays a formal suit, romantic and chic, which complements the history and is a story for a while.
