Sun Tsui-feng
Appearance
Sun Tsui-feng (Chinese: 孫翠鳳; born 19 December 1958) is a Taiwanese opera performer and one of the most renowned stage actresses in Taiwan. Despite entering this profession at 26 years old — much later than other traditional opera artists — and growing up in a Mandarin-speaking rather than a Taiwanese Hokkien-speaking household, Sun overcame layers of difficulty and emerged as a leading sheng (male) role impersonator for the Ming Hwa Yuan opera troupe in the 1980s. She has also starred in a large number of non-musical films and TV series, including the 2006 TV series The Grandmaster's Daughter (祖師爺的女兒) which is based on her 2000 autobiography.
