19 世纪初，寄托相思的粤剧红豆跟随南下移民滚动至比南国更南的，南洋。纵然面临现代化冲击与南洋发展成新加坡后的多重挑战，它仍旧在边缘文化的位置不断地滚动。新加坡粤剧自 1950 年代形成首个单向性的跨国网络后，在 20 世纪末发展至双向性，并在 21 世纪初让粤剧红豆滚动到更多地区的同时，确立了香港与中国为新加坡粤剧的中心。因此，日益密切的跨国网络可为粤剧红豆继续提供适宜传承与发展的空间。除了竭力建立此论点，本文将以新加坡粤剧导师朱敬芬与凌东明，以及其学生作为案例研究。两位导师多次抵抗现代化冲击的经验，意识到粤剧传承持有多元化群体主义价值观的重要性。随着他们近年来成功迎接年轻新加坡华人的学生，及政府放宽方言政策的趋势，再次点燃保根的希望，排除后继无人的隐忧。Cantonese Opera, affectionately known as 'Red Bean' was first brought into Singapore by Chinese immigrants in the early 19th century. Although it was relegated to marginal culture status due to the impact of modernisation and Singapore's post-independence challenges, it fought bravely to remain as part of Singapore's culture. After the first one-way transnational Cantonese Opera network was formed in the 1950s, a two-way network appeared by the 1970s, resulting in the rapid formation of transnational networks by the early 21st century, which in turn witnessed the birth of China as another Cantonese Opera centre, alongside Hong Kong for Singapore. Thus, the closer transnational networks provided a more conducive environment for the continued survival and development for Cantonese Opera in Singapore. Besides studying the phenomenon as mentioned, case studies of Singapore Cantonese Opera veterans, Mdm Chee Kin Foon, Mr Ling Dong Ming and their students will also be conducted. Drawing from their past experiences with modernisation, the veterans understood and reinforced the importance of diversified groupism while conducting lessons for the traditional Chinese art form. With the arrival of young Chinese Singaporeans students in recent years and softened stance towards dialectical policies by the Singapore Government, it rekindled one's hope for its survival in modern-day Singapore.
