Introduction
Wu Ming-hsia was born in a Taiwanese opera family. When she was around thirteen, her father Wu Tien-ting organized the Chung Ming Opera Troupe in Tianzhong. Wu Ming-hsia, whose stage name was Hsiao Mi Hsia (“little shrimp”) at the time, would play the walk-on characters in the troupe. After she officially took the leading role of xiaosheng(young male role) in The Wife who Raises Her Husband, her stage name was changed to Hsiao Ming Ming. [3][4]
Following the death of her father and the disbandment of the troupe, Hsiao Ming Ming participated in troupes including Nan Hsing Opera Troupe, Kuang Hua Hsing Theater in Syuejia, and Pao Feng Opera Troupe[3]. In Sai Chin Pao Opera Troupe, she made her movie debut Jiang Zi-Ya Descends the Mountain and participated in many other Taiwanese opera movies. Later, she also worked with other directors and filmed various types of Mandarin and Taiwanese films such as the Blind Girl series, during which she also went to the Philippines to perform on stage with the troupe.

Hsiao Ming Min had founded Ming Ming Opera Troupe and Ming Hsia Opera Troupe, in which she was both a producer and the lead[5][6]. She has appeared in nearly forty TV Taiwanese opera produced by Taiwan Television (TTV), China Television Company (CTV), and Chinese Television System (CTS); for instance, Mandarin-Taiwanese TV Taiwanese opera Husband and Wife for Seven Lives. She was invited to perform in Goddess Luo at the “Folk Theater” in 1984 and co-performed with Shih Hui-chun and Hsiao Mi in Goddess Luo again at the invitation of the Public Television Service (PTS) in 2000.
