No, it is the anti-telecom fraud propaganda for senior citizens…

This is Hong Kong Police’s new anti-telecom fraud propaganda, which targets at the senior citizens.

 

It uses Cantonese opera music performers to publicize fraud prevention because a lot of senior citizens are the fans of those performers and victims of telecom frauds.

The star performer Joyce Koi in the middle is teaching the seniors to identify the swindlers, who pretend to be officials, couriers, your children and your friends.

Actually from the performers’ makeup, we can recognize whether performers are acting the protagonists or villains.

This post is going to give you further details.

Travelers can TIY, tour the Cantonese Opera Education and Information Center to see the interesting interactive exhibition (Take MTR to Ho Man Tin Exit A2, walk about 5 mins to Ko Shan Theatre). 

 

Travelers can also have Frank the tour guide’s New Territories private car tour to learn more about Cantonese opera music at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, say hello to the monkeys, enjoy the natural landscape and see the interesting history of the native people.

 

Identify protagonists or villains in Cantonese opera through performers’ makeup

Simply speaking, the protagonists’ makeup in Cantonese opera is simpler than the villains’ makeup.

Mostly audience can still recognize the performers’ original and good appearance.

 

The makeup for villains are relatively intricate.

The different make-ups may show that the gentlemen are easy, mean people often troubled at heart.

The protagonist Joyce Koi with relatively simple makeup is handsome.

The fitted costume shows the performers can act quickly and know martial arts.

The heroic posture shows the performers is ready to fight against the villains.

 

The villain with white face and wearing official costume is cunning.

 

The villain with a small eyes and a mouth, which look like a capsized boat, “?”, cherishes the evil intention.

 

The female villain’s basic make-up is ok, but the two moles and strange wink show she is unreliable.

 

The villain with a nose with blackheads is unfaithful.
