Speaking of the Spring Festival Gala, who can forget the classic "I miss you so much!"? This sentence has almost become synonymous with Feng Gong, just like roast duck comes to mind when mentioning Beijing, and the Bund comes to mind when mentioning Shanghai. Feng Gong, he is like an evergreen tree on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Every year is different, but he can always bring us that familiar laughter.
However, Feng Gong has gradually disappeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years. But his "loving disciples" are not idle. They are like the "Six Great King Kongs" passed down by Feng Gong, and they have all made great achievements in their respective fields.
These "Six Great Vajras" each have their own merits. Some have become leaders in the comedy industry, while others have flourished in the film and television industry. Not only did they inherit Feng Gong's humor, but they also each developed their own unique styles.
I remember when Feng Gong took them to the Spring Festival Gala, they were still young newcomers. What about now? Each one has become a leader in the entertainment industry. This has to make people sigh: Feng Gong’s vision is really unique! So, who are these "Six Great Vajras"? What kind of legendary stories do they have?
Jia Ling
The entertainment industry in 2024 is changing. But a piece of news exploded like a bomb: Jia Ling, who had disappeared for nearly a year, finally made new moves! This time, she did not return with a sketch or variety show, but with a brand new image - she actually lost 100 pounds for the new drama! This kind of perseverance made everyone stunned.
Looking back on Jia Ling's road to fame, it can be said that it has been full of twists and turns. From the Spring Festival Gala stage of "Big Talk" to the variety show star of "Ace vs. Ace", her funny combination with Shen Teng can always bring endless joy to the audience. But Jia Ling's talent goes far beyond that.

However, behind success, there is always an unknown bitterness. Jia Ling's comedy journey has not been smooth sailing. After graduating from the cross talk class of the Central Academy of Drama, she encountered obstacles because of her identity as a female comedian. Fortunately, she met the noble person in her life - Feng Gong.
At that time, Feng Gong was already a leader in the comedy industry. Seeing Jia Ling's hard work and talent, he decided to accept her as his apprentice and took her around to perform to fight for opportunities for her. When he learned that Jia Ling lived in a small basement, Feng Gong was even more distressed and personally arranged a place for her to solve her life difficulties.
With Feng Gong’s support and guidance, Jia Ling finally gained a firm foothold in the comedy world. She has never forgotten her master's kindness. No matter where she goes, she will carry her gratitude and respect for her master.
In public, she expressed her gratitude to Feng Gong more than once, letting the outside world know more about the deep friendship between their master and apprentice.
Bai Kainan

At that time, he had gradually developed from the cross talk world to the film and television industry, but the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was still the battlefield he was most familiar with.
Looking back a few years, Bai Kainan's name is closely connected with Jia Ling. They are a pair of tacit understanding partners who have won the love of the audience with their novel and interesting comedy sketches.
’s appearance in the Spring Festival Gala and Lantern Festival Gala for two consecutive years made their name a household name. However, due to differences in their development philosophies, the golden pair eventually chose to part ways.
Jia Ling continues to work hard in the comedy world, while Bai Kainan turned around and threw herself into the embrace of film and television dramas. But no matter which stage he is on, he proves his worth with his talent and hard work.
However, Bai Kainan’s artistic path has not been smooth sailing. He loved dancing since he was a child and once dreamed of becoming a dancer. But he was frustrated because his appearance was "not up to standard". Unable to become a dancer, he applied for the Central Academy of Drama instead. By chance, he was assigned to a crosstalk performance class and became Feng Gong's disciple.
Under Feng Gong's strict guidance, Bai Kainan gradually emerged. But the learning process was not easy. He once broke into tears because he couldn't stand the harsh criticism from his master. However, after he calmed down, he understood his master's good intentions, began to work hard, and eventually won a place in the cross talk world.
Today, Bai Kainan is already a versatile artist. The characters he has created in film and television dramas have allowed the audience to see a different side of him. But no matter where he went, he never forgot his original intention and dream.
At the recording site of "Happy Comedian Season 6", he appeared as a comedian again, allowing people to see his love and dedication to comedy.
