傳承梨園的行善精神 「任白」在近代粵劇文化佔著舉足輕重的地位， 她們的曲藝縈繞萬千歌迷的心上，而她們的善心 亦造福不少社群，特別心繫長者的福祉。基督教 家庭服務中心任白慈善基金景林安老院為任白慈 善基金第一個資助開辦的安老項目，並已為長者 服務逾27載，多年來陳寶珠小姐及梅雪詩小姐多 次伴隨白雪仙女士前來探望院友，最近二人再探 訪安老院，直言感覺親切，梅雪詩更憶起當年情 陳寶珠小姐及梅雪詩小姐伴同白雪仙 女士探訪基督教家庭服務中心任白慈 善基金景林安老院

況：「記得以前常跟仙姐來派利是，目睹長者可 與偶像近距離接觸的開心模樣，就為他們感到高 興，亦對安老院的服務很有信心。」陳寶珠亦為 今次探訪感到安慰：「事隔多年看到長者們仍然 健康又開心，就知道一切全靠安老院各部門的悉 心照顧，期待翻新後能有更舒適的環境。」

Charitable Foundation King Lam Home for the Elderly.

Carry on Liyuan’s Benevolent Spirit ‘Yam Pak (Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin)’ are the icons of Cantonese opera culture. Their songs are unforgettable classics to countless fans, and their act of kindness have made a difference in communities over decades. Wellbeing of the elderly have always been their top-on-mind priority. Funded by Yam Kim Fai & Pak Suet Sin Charitable Foundation as its very first funding project, Christian Family Service Centre’s Yam Pak Charitable Foundation King Lam Home for the Elderly has been providing elderly residential services for over 27 years. Throughout the years, Ms Connie Chan Po Chu and Ms Mui Suet See have accompanied Madam Pak to King Lam Home to visit the residents for many times. Recently, Ms Chan and Ms Mui returned and rediscovered the special connection with this place. Ms Mui recalled, ‘I always come with Madam Pak to give out red packets. I felt happy to see the elderly being so thrilled to see their idol up close. I am confident to the service of King Lam Home.’ The visit is also comforting for Ms Chan, ‘it is encouraging to see that, thanks to the efforts from different disciplines in King Lam Home. The residents here are all happy and healthy. I look forward to seeing an even better environment here after renovation.’

兩人不但是仙姐的粵劇後輩，傳承了她的粵劇造詣， 亦印證著仙姐的行善之路，陳寶珠一直欣賞仙姐的善 心精神：「仙姐在幫助他人時不遺餘力，不望回報，

Following in Madam Pak’s footsteps, Ms Chan and Ms Mui do not only learn the art of Cantonese opera from the master, also her act of benevolence. Ms Chan always admires Madam Pak’s kindness, ‘when she helps others, she does not hold back. She does not expect anything in return. That makes me want to be like her - try my best to do good deeds and to raise more funds to help improve the condition of the elderly.’ Ms Mui regards Madam Pak as her role model, ‘Madam Pak takes acting and treating everyone she meets very seriously. She is sincere, kind and she loves everyone. I set up an opera crew before, and I tried to act in the way she does - as an artist, as a performer and as a person, to uphold the standard of sincerity, kindness and goodness.’

But these children are taking it seriously. Being with them makes me feel younger.’

排練期間，年僅8歲的余梓安特別投入：「4歲時在電視上 看到《帝女花》，便主動跟媽咪提出想學粵劇！」這經歷 與較年長的黃安晴和譚晴大同小異，兩人均在粵劇的陪伴 下成長，小生譚晴更透露年青人怎樣看粵劇：「其實並不 覺老套，朋友反而會說我學粵劇很厲害！粵劇也成為我們 與公公婆婆的共同話題，不覺有代溝。」中四的安晴則慨 嘆出生得太遲，沒機會看到白雪仙的現場演出：「仙姐不 單在舞台上活靈活現，更佩服她對粵劇的熱忱，為業界及 下一輩作出很多貢獻。」

Aged 8, Anson Yu was exceptionally engaged during the rehearsal, ‘when I was 4, I saw “Princess Zhang Ping” on TV. I told mommy that I want to learn Cantonese opera then.’ A similar story also happens on two older students, Zoe Wong and Tam Ching, who grew up in an environment fostering Cantonese opera culture. Tam Ching revealed how his generation sees Cantonese opera, ‘we do not regard it as something old and outdated. My friends know that I learn Cantonese opera and think that it is awesome! Cantonese opera also becomes the bridge between the young and the elderly, closing the gap between us.’ Zoe, a Form 4 student, even thought that she was born too late to watch Madam Pak’s live performance, ‘Madam Pak was amazing on stage. I truly admire her for her passion to Cantonese opera and her contribution to the industry and the younger generation.’

Besides fundraising, this event is meaningful in two ways - to promote the inheritance of Cantonese opera culture, and to promote the act of kindness towards the elderly. Ms Chan and Ms Mui call upon members of the public to support the event, ‘do not miss this meaningful event. Your generosity will be much appreciated. Please come and support us!’
