It’s not surprising that the Ming Hwa Yuan
performs in the National Theater, Taipei Municipal Social
Education Hall, County Culture Centers and universities and
colleges. Chen Sheng-fu, the current chief of the Ming Hwa
Yuan, explores other types of special stages for the Ming
Hwa Yuan to perform, such as jails, hospitals and construction
sites.
To salary nearly a hundred troupers and technicians while
maintaining the quality of equipments, Chen takes the initiative
to explore new territories for the Ming Hwa Yuan to perform.

For
example, ten years ago, while the real estate market was still
booming, Chen talked to a boss of a construction site. He
said that regular construction site show(gong-di show)often
involved strip dance, the crowd may just come and go because
they simply feel too embarrassed to stay there to take a further
look of the construction site. Then he analyzed the advantages
of the Ming Hwa Yuan might bring to the construction site.
He successfully persuaded the boss to invite the Ming Hwa
Yuan to promote their business by playing Taiwanese Opera
at the construction site. Because of the advertisements in
newspapers, many people flocked to see the Ming Hwa Yuan,
and of course, the construction company was very satisfied
with the result.
In 1991, the Ming Hwa Yuan did press-agentry to propagate
the importance of invoices for Taxation Agency, Ministry of
Finance, R.O.C. Thus, everyone, including elder citizens who
couldn’t understand Mandarin, never forgets to ask for invoices
when buying things.
On Feb 2, 2005, we joined the recruitment of the MRT Volunteers
with Ms. Suen. As an ambassador of the MRT, she reminds passengers
to be aware of their safety when they travel by the MRT. Miss
Suen also help recruit volunteers to serve passengers of the
MRT. Many people were attracted to come volunteering just
because of Suen Tsuei-feng! Miss Suen’s irresistible charm
is really amazing!
