Yilan is the birthplace of gezaixi and home to Taiwanese opera's biggest star, Yang Li-hua. At a local theater museum the Yilan Cultural Affairs Bureau opened a special exhibit dedicated to Yang and her role in gezaixi, and today Yang paid the exhibit a visit. Taiwanese opera superstar Yang Li-hua enjoyed the rare chance to watch a performance instead of participating in one. The children were eager to show off their skills.Yang is in her late 60s, but hasn't lost any of her allure among Taiwanese opera fans. When the Taiwan Theater Museum in Yilan built a free gezaixi exhibit area, Yang generously donated costumes, photographs and other artifacts she amassed over the years. She wanted to give fans visiting her hometown of Yilan a chance to reminisce on past opera shows.Yang Li-huaTaiwanes
