GU Li-Da was born in Taoyuan in 1920. He is the oldest and most notable performer of Siping opera still alive in Taiwan. Gu joined the Xiao Mei Yuan Troupe and was in charge of playing the Guan Yu role. Being exceptionally business-minded and having mastered every aspect of traditional opera, Gu was peerless in his brilliance and made a name for Xiao Mei Yuan’s Guan Yu role. Being active in northern Taiwan’s Siping opera and Hakka opera circles for so long, Gu was invited to participate in Taoyuan County’s Bureau of Culture project for the preservation of Siping opera, recording a vast collection of the Siping operatic repertoire. In 1993, Gu won the “Best Jing Jiao Award.”
