「呔！俺老孫來也！」當這句經典台詞在西九戲曲中心大劇院響起，台下瞬間掌聲雷動。近日，京劇新作《美猴王・孫悟空・誰與爭鋒》在香港完成巡演。這場以齊天大聖為核心的國粹盛宴，一經亮相便引爆全城，場場座無虛席，成為近期香港最受矚目的文化盛事之一。'Halt! Old Monkey is here!' The moment that famous line rang out in the Grand Theatre of the Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon, the house erupted in applause. The new Peking opera production Monkey King: Sun Wukong — Who Dares Challenge Me (《美猴王・孫悟空・誰與爭鋒》) has just completed its Hong Kong run. Built around the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, this feast of a national art form set the city alight from its very first appearance, playing to full houses every night and becoming one of the most talked-about cultural events in Hong Kong in recent months.

這次公演是主辦及受惠機構「智行基金會」，與製作單位「趨勢教育基金會」在香港首次合作。演出以籌款為目的，所有款項均捐給「智行基金會」，用於資助國內受愛滋病影響兒童的教育。「智行」一直致力於為國內受愛滋病影響的兒童，以及受貧窮、疾病、歧視影響的學生，提供教育資助、生活及心理發展的照顧。The run marked the first Hong Kong collaboration between the Chi Heng Foundation, which both presented the production and is its beneficiary, and the producer, the Trend Education Foundation. The performances were staged as a fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Chi Heng Foundation to support the education of mainland children affected by AIDS. Chi Heng has long worked to provide education funding, practical support and care for psychological development to children on the mainland affected by AIDS, and to students affected by poverty, illness and discrimination.

此次演出還邀請多位香港演藝界、文化界人士到場支持，對演出的藝術水平與創新表達給予高度評價。著名文學家及劇作家白先勇先生，為演出獻上真摯祝福與鼓勵。媒體人陳圖安説：「我很喜歡劇中每一場戲，今晚是我第一次在舞台上看到孫悟空，而且這次是集善事和娛樂於一身。」Figures from Hong Kong's performing arts and cultural circles were invited to attend, and they spoke highly of both the artistic standard and the inventiveness of the staging. The celebrated writer and playwright Pai Hsien-yung offered his warm good wishes and encouragement. The media personality Chan To-on (陳圖安) said: 'I loved every scene in the piece. Tonight was the first time I have seen Sun Wukong on stage, and this time it brings a good cause and real entertainment together in one evening.'

三代美猴王同台演繹經典Three Generations of Monkey Kings on One Stage

劇目由朱陸豪老師擔任藝術總監，與表演者們共同串演各個神話角色，眾神與孫悟空率領的猴子猴孫展開連場大戰，令觀眾大呼過癮。Chu Lu-hao (朱陸豪) serves as artistic director and appears alongside the rest of the cast in a succession of mythological roles. The gods do battle, scene after scene, with the monkey troops led by Sun Wukong — much to the audience's delight.

朱陸豪是台灣著名的京劇武生、影視演員，被譽為「美猴王」接班人。如今已72歲的「台灣第一美猴王」帶領徐挺芳、秦朗等青年演員齊登場，形成「三代同堂演悟空」的獨特陣容。他們打破傳統，加入更多的青年演員，融合京劇武藝與現代劇場美學，展現了精彩的舞台。Chu Lu-hao is a well-known Taiwanese wusheng — the martial male role of Peking opera — and a screen actor, long regarded as the heir to the Monkey King tradition. Now 72, 'Taiwan's foremost Monkey King' takes the stage with young performers such as Hsu Ting-fang (徐挺芳) and Chin Lang (秦朗), creating the unusual line-up of three generations playing Wukong together. Breaking with convention, they have brought in more young actors and blended the martial craft of Peking opera with the aesthetics of contemporary theatre, to striking effect.

最讓人驚喜的一幕來自孫悟空拔取定海神針的情節。巨大的柱子高高升起，又通過光影的變幻慢慢縮小，成為美猴王手中揮舞的金箍棒，整個舞台的現代技術與傳統橋段串聯在一起，令人拍案叫絕。The most surprising moment comes when Sun Wukong pulls the Sea-Calming Needle from the ocean floor. A huge pillar rises high above the stage, then shrinks slowly through shifting light and shadow until it becomes the golden cudgel brandished in the Monkey King's hand — modern stagecraft and a classic set piece joined seamlessly, and quite thrilling to watch.

舞台上的巨靈神説着一口中英文夾雜的台詞，引得台下的孩子們捧腹大笑。The Mighty Magic Spirit (巨靈神) delivers his lines in a mixture of Chinese and English, sending the children in the audience into fits of laughter.

演員從抓耳撓腮的靈動神態，到金箍棒翻飛的利落招式，再到「矮子功」「蹲步跳躍」「懸空騰躍」「高空轉體」等，這些「真功夫」沒有捷徑可走，全靠日復一日的重複訓練。觀眾在離場時臉上也都掛着讚歎和佩服的表情。From the twitchy, ear-scratching mannerisms of a monkey to the crisp routines with the golden cudgel, and on to the 'dwarf walk' (矮子功), crouching leaps, mid-air jumps and high somersaults — this is real kung fu, for which there are no shortcuts, only day after day of repeated training. Audience members left the theatre with admiration written on their faces.

演出不僅讓資深戲迷大呼「正宗、過癮」，更成功打破年齡的侷限。不少年輕觀眾與家庭結伴而來，小朋友看得津津有味，學着猴子的動作吱吱叫着，比手畫腳。也有觀眾特地從台灣追到香港，更多是第一次走進京劇劇場的年輕朋友。他們紛紛感嘆：原來京劇可以這麼好看、這麼燃！Longtime opera fans pronounced it authentic and exhilarating, but the production also broke through the age barrier. Many young people and whole families came together; children watched enthralled, copying the monkeys' movements, squeaking and gesturing along. Some audience members had followed the show from Taiwan to Hong Kong, and many more were young people setting foot in a Peking opera theatre for the first time. Their reaction was unanimous: who knew Peking opera could be this good, this electrifying?

以藝傳情，以戲連心Art That Carries Feeling, Theatre That Joins Hearts

《美猴王・孫悟空・誰與爭鋒》不止是一場精彩演出，更是一次跨越地域的文化共鳴。孫悟空是每一位華人共同的文化符號，這場巡演用最鮮活、最動人的方式，拉近內地與香港的文化距離，讓中華優秀傳統文化在香江之畔綻放新光彩。同時，這樣兼具公益性質的演出，用藝術傳遞愛心，為這場國粹之旅增添了非凡的意義與情懷。Monkey King: Sun Wukong — Who Dares Challenge Me is more than a fine performance; it is a moment of cultural resonance across regions. Sun Wukong is a cultural symbol shared by Chinese people everywhere, and this tour narrowed the cultural distance between the mainland and Hong Kong in the most vivid and moving way, letting the finest of traditional Chinese culture shine anew on the banks of the Fragrant Harbour. That the run also served a charitable purpose, using art to pass on care for others, gave this journey through a national art form an extra weight of meaning and feeling.

讓京劇走進年輕人Bringing Peking Opera to a Younger Audience

劇目沒有侷限於傳統京劇的演繹方式，而是在保留「反抗權威、追求自由」核心主題的基礎上，用更貼近現代觀眾的方式傳遞精神內核，拉近了年輕觀眾與傳統藝術的距離。The production does not confine itself to traditional Peking opera staging. While keeping the core themes of defying authority and seeking freedom, it conveys that spirit in ways closer to a modern audience, bringing young viewers nearer to a traditional art form.

演出前朱陸豪走進學校與學生互動，現場邀請學生揮舞金箍棒，在禮堂裏教孩子們模仿猴戲動作，歡聲笑語中讓傳統文化種子生根發芽。他們還現身尖沙咀星光大道，在李小龍像前擺出美猴王造型，引得遊客紛紛拍照打卡，讓京劇走出劇院，成為街頭巷尾的熱門話題。正如朱陸豪所説：「京劇不是博物館裏的文物，而是活的藝術」。Before the run, Chu Lu-hao visited schools to meet students, inviting them up to swing the golden cudgel and teaching them monkey-play movements in the school hall; amid the laughter, seeds of traditional culture took root. The company also appeared on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, striking Monkey King poses in front of the Bruce Lee statue while tourists lined up to take photographs — Peking opera stepping out of the theatre and becoming a talking point on the street. As Chu Lu-hao puts it: 'Peking opera is not a relic in a museum; it is a living art.'

悟空精神永遠鮮活The Spirit of Wukong Stays Alive

為什麼時隔多年，孫悟空依然能成為全民喜愛的文化符號？在《美猴王・孫悟空・誰與爭鋒》中，我們找到了答案。這個從花果山石縫中蹦出的猴子，象徵着最純粹的反抗與堅守。他不服天命，雖歷經磨難，卻始終敢於挑戰權威，不忘初心。Why, after all these years, is Sun Wukong still a cultural figure loved by everyone? This production supplies the answer. The monkey who sprang from a cleft in the rock on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit stands for the purest kind of defiance and constancy. He refuses to accept the fate heaven assigns him; for all the trials he endures, he never stops daring to challenge authority, and never forgets what he set out to do.

結語In closing

時光流轉，京劇猴戲仍在舞台上生生不息。《美猴王・孫悟空・誰與爭鋒》的落幕，不是結束，而是傳統文化發揚的新起點。作為畢生鑽研美猴王技藝的前輩，朱陸豪將一身硬功毫無保留地傳給弟子徐挺芳、秦朗。三人同台飾演孫悟空，既展現了傳統文化的生命力，又讓京劇猴戲的絕技得以延續。這場不一樣的京劇，也成為這個春天香港最動人的文化風景。Time moves on, and the monkey plays of Peking opera live on upon the stage. The final curtain on Monkey King: Sun Wukong — Who Dares Challenge Me is not an ending but a new starting point for handing traditional culture forward. Having spent a lifetime perfecting the Monkey King's craft, Chu Lu-hao has passed his hard-won skills to his students Hsu Ting-fang and Chin Lang without holding anything back. The three of them playing Sun Wukong side by side shows both the vitality of traditional culture and the survival of the monkey play's most demanding techniques. This unusual piece of Peking opera has been one of the most affecting cultural sights in Hong Kong this spring.
