Han Lao Da (Шаблон:Zh), originally named Ann Jong Juan,[1][2] is a Singaporean playwright, as well as founder and principal of Han Language Centre. Han received the Cultural Medallion[3] for his contributions in the Singaporean drama scene, and is also recognised for his xiangsheng contributions in Singapore.

Early life and education

Han was born in Singapore with his ancestral roots in Wenchang, Hainan, China.

Arts career

Han started composing xiangsheng plays since the 1970s, and he started studying the works of renowned xiangsheng artist Ma Ji . Han's debut play was entitled The gift ticket. The play was performed in Singapore and major towns and cities all over peninsula Malaysia. In 1984, Han got to befriend Ma Ji, and in 1986, Han also befriended noted performers like Jiang Kun and Tang Jie Zhong. After making these acquaintances, Han began to absorb all the artistic knowledge he can from these noted xiangsheng performers so that he could bring the art of xiangsheng to Singapore, and promote the local xiangsheng culture. He worked hard with other xiangsheng enthusiasts, and produced many scripts for local performances. His works garnered many local awards and won many xiangsheng competitions. He also published three xiangsheng collections and critiques containing a total of 45 xiangsheng scripts. In 2000, his article introducing Singaporean xiangsheng was published in the column on xiangsheng history, published in the Chinese Xiangsheng Network.

At the same time, Han is a noted playwright active in the Singaporean drama scene. He has written a total of nine full-length drama and many short plays.
