Huang Chun-hsiung

Huang Chun-hsiung (Chinese: 黃俊雄; born January 26, 1933, in Huwei, Yunlin, Taiwan) is a glove puppeteer, narrator, and producer.

Gradually, he learned the five major techniques: to blow (the suona: a Chinese musical instrument like treble horn), to beat (the gong and drum), to play (the erhu, a Chinese fiddle-like violin), to operate (glove puppets), to write (screen), and to narrate.

His works include a number of theme music such as "A Bitter-fated Sea Goddess", "A Lady Named Leng Shuangzi", "Acacia Lamp" and "The Turning Point of Fate".

In the drama, he enlarged the size of glove puppet, emphasized the eye gestures, and used modern folk songs to replace the traditional music composed of gongs and drums.

Although his sons and daughters from two marriages have their separate glove puppetry groups, they worked together to support the eighteenth anniversary of Yunlin County Puppet Festival in 2020.
