Father

Chen Hsi-huang is the eldest son of the late puppet show master Li Tien-lu. Because Li Tien-lu married into the Chen family, the eldest son was given the surname Chen according to regulations. The father's giant figure and the special relationship between father and son with different surnames have created an incomprehensible knot for the two of them. In 2009, 79-year-old Chen Hsi-huang left his family and founded a new theater troupe under his own name with only Marshal Tian Du, the opera god enshrined in the red box. However, the rapid decline of traditional puppetry has left him facing the dilemma of having only a few unique skills and few successors.
