Taiwanese opera
In an attempt to instill new life into Taiwanese opera, some opera enthusiasts decided to try to re-popularise this folk drama via radio, and performances by the Tien Ma Group were broadcast live throughout the island. Yang became a radio performer, renewing her faith in the opera. At that time, if you travelled the inner streets and alleys, you would always find the native Taiwanese all listening to Taiwanese opera on the radio. Housewives and aged women showed special interest.
