== Meaning == "Hu-Du-Men" (虎度門) refers to the "stage door" where actors and actresses enter the stage to perform in a Cantonese opera. The stage door is a gateway between the actor (or actress) and the role he (or she) is going to play; once goes out of that door and gets on stage, he has to forget who he is and be the person he is tasked to act.
