History

It was known as Fu Sheng (Fu Xing Ju Xiao) or Lu Kwan Peking Opera school. Although called a Peking Opera school, students actually learned Taiwanese opera, sung in Hokkien dialect rather than Mandarin.[1] Notable students included Lu Feng, Chiang Sheng, Charlie Chin, Philip Kwok, Angela Mao and James Tien who subsequently worked in the Hong Kong film industry.

On 1 July 1999, the National Fu Hsing Dramatic Arts Academy merged with the National Kuo Kuang Academy of Arts to establish National Taiwan Junior College of Performing Arts.
