        To celebrate the National Day, Peng Denghuai, who has been hailed as a "national treasure in the Chinese world" by overseas media, gave a live public performance for the Hong Kong people for the first time today. The 11 face changes on and off the stage made the audience watch with relish, and the applause and exclamation sounded a total of 19 times.

    Peng Denghuai won a flood of applause as soon as he took the stage. "It’s hard to change faces, it’s even harder to make a mask, and it’s even more difficult to change back," he told the audience. He changed eight faces on stage and made couplets. Unfinished, he added, my right hand has held the hands of 36 heads of state; I have also held the hands of three immortals (including Yang Liwei, the three astronauts who "went to heaven") Today, I want to shake the hands of two spectators and bring them good luck.


    After he finished speaking, he walked to the stage and held the audience’s hand, and the audience rushed to get close to the "divine hand". Just as his hand was clenched tightly, he changed into a red-faced God of Wealth, followed by a black-faced Zhong Kui, and finally a green face. Suddenly cheered.


    Peng Denghuai went to Hong Kong on September 27 to celebrate the birthday of his apprentice Andy Lau. "I have a special affection for Hong Kong. Andy Lau is my apprentice. I like Hong Kong very much, and I like my apprentice Andy Lau very much.
