Birth Date 1900-01-05 Birthplace Dong Guan Death Date 1968-12-26 Occupation Peking Opera Singer Biographical Text Peking Opera star Zhou Xin Fang (1895-1975) made his first public performance at the age of seven, singing in the role of an elderly man. He immediately gained the nickname "Qi Ling Tong" (The Seven-Year-Old Kid), but later changed this to "Qilin Tong". Peking Opera favored clear high voices, whereas Zhou sounded a bit rougher around the edges. He took full advantage of his unique voice and broke past the traditional aesthetics of the art form. Zhou was meticulous about every detail of his performance, from a simple movement of the hand to the use of a long beard and other props. As early as 1925, he introduced the concept of the director to the traditional theater genre and placed a great emphasis on the lead singer. In the 1950s, Zhou served as the director of Shanghai Peking Opera House and promoted a young director named Ma Ke.
