It has served Guangzhou since 2010, and is 17 kilometers from the city center. It is one the four main railway stations in Guangzhou. The other three are Guangzhou Railway Station, Guangzhou North Railway Station, and Guangzhou East Railway Station. After its opening, Guangzhou South Railway Station has been gradually taking the leading role of train transport from Guangzhou Railway Station, becoming one of the six key passenger train hubs of China.

    2019 International Conference on Computer Science, Communications and Big Data (CSCBD 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-626-8 Problems and Measures of Passenger Organization in Guangzhou Metro Stations Ting-yu YIN1, Lei GU1 and Zheng-yu XIE1,* 1School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, 100044, China *Corresponding author Keywords: Guangzhou Metro, Passenger organization, Problems, Measures. Abstract. Along with the rapidly increasing pressure of urban transportation, China's subway operation is facing the challenge of high-density passenger flow. In order to improve the level of subway operation and ensure its safety, it is necessary to analyze and study the operation status of the metro station under the condition of high-density passenger flow, and propose the corresponding improvement scheme. Taking Guangzhou Metro as the study object, this paper discusses and analyzes the operation and management status of Guangzhou Metro Station. And combined with the risks and deficiencies in the operation and organization of Guangzhou metro, effective improvement measures are proposed in this paper. Operation Status of Guangzhou Metro The first line of Guangzhou Metro opened on June 28, 1997, and Guangzhou became the fourth city in mainland China to open and operate the subway. As of April 26, 2018, Guangzhou Metro has 13 operating routes, with 391.6 km and 207 stations in total, whose opening mileage ranks third in China and fourth in the world now. As of July 24, 2018, Guangzhou Metro Line Network had transported 1.645 billion passengers safely, with an average daily passenger volume of 802.58 million, an increase of 7.88% over the same period of 2017 (7.4393 million).

  • Introduction to Cantonese Opera by Dr Tai Suk-Yan (Learning and Teaching Material for Teachers’ Reference)
    Introduction to Cantonese Opera by Dr Tai Suk-yan (Learning and teaching material for teachers’ reference) History and Traditions of Cantonese Opera According to the research conducted by Prof. Chan Sau Yan, early history of Cantonese opera can be traced to the 51st year of in the reign of Qing Emperor Qianlong (1786 A.D.). Opera performance activities took place in the Temple of Tianhou in Yuen Long in the New Territories of Hong Kong (Chan Sau Yan, 2007:1). Until the late 1920s, the traditional repertoire “Baoyu Cries for Daiyu”, staged by Chu Chi Pak (?-1922), transformed the performing dialect and singing style from guanhua to baihua and from guqiang to pingqiang respectively. Gradually in the 1930s, the Guangzhou dialect (Cantonese) became the official performing dialect. During the 1930s, “Sit and Ma vying for supremacy” appeared on the Cantonese operatic stage and lasted for nine years. Sit Kok Sin (1904-1956) established Juexiansheng Troupe and Juexiansheng Nannu Troupe while Ma Si Tsang (1900-1964) organized Taiping Troupe, presenting such classic Cantonese operas such as Time to Go Home, A Charming Smile, Prince of Thieves and Pity the Poor Girl. After Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese in 1941, Cantonese opera performances continued. However, it could not compare with the golden period of the 1930s. In 1949, with the end of the Second World War, an entire generation of well-known Cantonese opera scriptwriters, musicians and performers came into being, all of whom greatly contributed to the later development of the genre in Hong Kong. Scriptwriters included Lee Siu Wan (1916-ca.
