Gaojia opera is a form of local opera in South Fujian. It is popular among regions speaking Southern Min dialect in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and ethnic Chinese-inhabited regions in Southeast Asian countries. Ke-style male clown performing is the most special school of Gaojia opera. In this style, clown is the protagonist, depicting beauty with comedy.

It perfectly combines comical acting with serious themes and goes beyond the common limits of a clown character, creating a rather complete male clown performing style.
