The Cantonese opera is invariably on the "must-show" lists of the TVB's (Hong Kong Television Broadcast) annual anniversary celebration and at the Cattle Depot Art Village Festival. Adored by local residents, the Cantonese opera is widely admired by overseas Hong Kongers as well. Zhou Zhenji, Chairman of the Hong Kong Cantonese Opera Development Committee, once told a story about himself. Born in Hong Kong, he was educated in English as a child and consequently the Beatles or Simon & Garfunkel were his favorites. Later as a homesick student studying in the United States, Zhou fell in love with the nostalgic Cantonese opera, which evoked memories of his hometown.
