BEIJING, May 11 -- Renowned master of
Cantonese opera, Hong Xian Nu, is promoting the world's first Cantonese opera
cartoon in Hong Kong. Entitled "The Obstinate Princess and Her Honest Husband",
the animation features the 85-year-old's singing.

Local celebrities, opera fans and media packed in to
see the premiere of the movie. Singer and actor Andy Lau and superstar Jacky
Cheung also showed up.

Lau and Cheung presented Hong Xian N¨¹ with bouquets
and spoke of their admiration for the veteran star.

At the ceremony, Hong Xian N¨¹ appeared in good
health, showing off her good figure and skin. The master says her heart is as
young as an 18-year-old's. Despite her age, she still works at the Hong Xian N¨¹
Art Center, and continues to practice her singing everyday. She performed a
segment of her repertoire to thank the fans.
