Chen Ya-lan (Chinese:陳亞蘭) (8 November 1965 -) was born in Penghu, Taiwan. She was originally named Chen Wen-cui, which was later changed to Chen Hsin-tien. Chen is an acclaimed Taiwanese opera and TV drama actress, a hostess, and a singer. Her fans are often nicknamed as “fans of Lan.” Yang Li-hua, Chen’s mentor, decided to give her the stage name Ya-lan because “Ya-lan” sounds like the “Alain” of Alain Delon, one of Yang’s favorite actors. Chen is currently the director of Taipei Taiwanese Opera Association, an organization dedicated to the promotion of Taiwanese opera. She is also the supervisor of Taiwan U-Life Association, which offers support and help to those in need[1]. In 2022, with “Lord Jiaqing and the Journey to Taiwan”, she was shortlisted and awarded the Best Actor at the 57th Golden Bell Award, becoming the first female recipient of the award[2].

In the late 1950s, his father served as the director of Taiwan Provincial Local Theatre Association.[3] In the 1960s, Bao-Yin-She moved to Penghu for its huge popularity there. During her years in the Tainan Municipal Chung Hsiao Junior High School, she played the clarinet in the school band and won a championship in the national music contest. After graduation, Chen joined Bao-Yin-She as a minor actress, and later she was offered lead roles because an actor refused to mount the stage after being denied a raise in salary.[4][5]
In 1984, Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group debuted on TV with “Father and Son.” Several actors from other troupes were invited to join the cast. With her attractive appearance in male costumes, Chen was offered the minor role of Emperor Renzong of Song. [4]After watching Chen’s acting, Yang Li-hua recruited Chen for her TV opera troupe.
