Meanwhile, the career paths of the cast read like a synopsis of Taiwanese opera history: Some come from Taiwanese opera backgrounds in radio, TV, and outdoor shows. There are others from Ilan County's Lanyang Taiwanese Opera Company, former students of Liao Chiung-chi (the premier 'tragic heroine' specialist in Taiwanese opera), and people from Peking opera and dance companies.
演員有來自棚內製作的廣播電台歌仔戲、電視歌仔戲，有來自民間野台的歌仔戲世家；還有來自宜蘭縣立蘭陽戲劇團，來自歌仔戲第一哭旦廖瓊枝的學生，還有來自京劇、舞蹈團等不同領域的人。
