html The 93-year-old cross talk master Yang Shaohua is on the hot search again.He is already so old, and he actually sells goods live with his son Yang Lun.
Many people have therefore questioned whether Yang Shaohua voluntarily engages in live broadcasting. He is over 90 years old, famous and wealthy.
Why do you have to fight like this?
However, many people believe that there should be no problem of being forced by children.
Because at the beginning of the year, his granddaughter broke the news:
In July last year, Yang Shaohua was hospitalized due to high blood pressure. But after he was discharged from the hospital, he not only ate a lot of meat and fish every day, but also smoked and drank all the time. His family couldn't control him even if they wanted to.
And that was not the first time Yang Shaohua was hospitalized due to high blood pressure. Every time he was hospitalized, he expressed his desire to live a healthy life, but he often forgot about it after leaving the hospital.
Therefore, with Yang Shaohua’s character, his children cannot force him.
Why is the old man so "seeking death"? Is there another hidden reason for "enjoying happiness"?
There is a saying in the novel "Stars in the Deep Sea": "Life is like a cup of tea. It will not be bitter for a lifetime, but it will always be bitter for a while."
But Yang Shaohua's life should have been bitter for more than a while.
In 1931, Yang Shaohua was born in a poor family in Beijing. His father died when he was young.
In order to survive, Yang Shaohua and his mother collected waste paper and coal cores. At that time, his biggest wish was to have enough to eat.
When he was 13 years old, Yang Shaohua's brother introduced him to work as an apprentice in the Xidan Shoe Factory because the food was taken care of there and he would not go hungry.
The life of an apprentice was very hard and harsh. When Yang Shaohua was learning to make leather shoes, he often smashed his hands until they were red and swollen in order to straighten some useless nails. However, poverty destined him to accept it.
If there was anything else that made him feel that besides being poor, there was still some fun in his life, it was listening to cross talk.
Next to Xidan Shoe Factory is Qiming Tea House, where famous folk artists such as Chang Baohua and Yu Zhide often performed there.
When Yang Shaohua was making shoes, he couldn't help but eavesdrop on the cross talk in the teahouse, and he couldn't wait to go to the teahouse after work. After listening to
too much, he not only developed a strong interest in cross talk performances, but also became familiar with Su Wenmao, Chang Baoting and other cross talk masters at the time.
However, being addicted to cross talk also brought him some trouble.
The master who taught him how to make shoes felt that he was "not doing his job properly" all day long, so he fired him. After
was fired, Yang Shaohua simply went to Mingyuan Tea House to work as a handyman.
Not only can you make money now, but you can also listen to cross talk for as long as you want, killing two birds with one stone.
However, Chang Baoting did not think so. He felt that Yang Shaohua was simply "doing nothing", so he said to Yang Shaohua: "You might as well learn cross talk."
Under Chang Baoting's "enthusiastic promotion", Yang Shaohua worshiped Guo Rongqi As a teacher, he began to systematically learn cross talk.
However, it is said that Yang Shaohua's family was too poor at that time and could not afford to serve tea to his master, so his identity was not recognized by his peers.
Although life was difficult and he was ostracized by his peers, Yang Shaohua did not give up learning to speak cross talk. After
worked hard for 4 years, he was finally able to perform on stage.
But before he could become famous, due to the current situation, many theaters and tea houses collapsed, and Yang Shaohua also lost his job again.
To make matters worse, Yang Shaohua was already married at the time and would soon have a child. He needed to support his family.
In order to make a living, he moved to Tianjin and worked as a fitter in Tianjin No. 1 Steel Rolling Factory.
Although he entered the factory and had a formal job, Yang Shaohua's life was still as poor as ever.
He became famous only after retiring.
In the steel factory, Yang Shaohua quickly became the literary and artistic backbone of the factory's labor union because of his ability to speak cross talk. When there were activities in the
factory, he would do yangko, dance, and talk crosstalk.
However, off-duty performances do not happen every day. Most of them are busy before and after holidays, so Yang Shaohua's work on weekdays is mainly about hard work.
He was able to embark on the road of professional cross talk actor mainly because of a supplementary stage.
At that time, Mu Xianglin of the Tianjin Nankai Folk Art Troupe was in poor condition and frequently had problems while performing on stage. Yang Shaohua took the initiative to come on stage to help him out.
What happened next was very logical.
The leader of the folk art troupe therefore fell in love with Yang Shaohua and transferred him to the Nankai Folk Art Troupe.
Although he joined a folk art troupe and had an iron job, Yang Shaohua had four children to support at that time, and his pitiful salary was simply not enough.
As the old saying goes: "Mortal love, poverty leads to change."
For the sake of his children and his family, Yang Shaohua had to use all his brains to find ways to make money to support his family.
After much thought, the best way he could think of was to find a way out in the amateur cross talk industry privately.
After that, Yang Shaohua started his own way of talking about cross talk.
talks about cross talk and relies solely on words to gain popularity. He has to make everyone happy first, and then ask for money after they are happy. Therefore, Yang Shaohua does not always make money. When
was unlucky, not only could he not make any money, but he was also taken to the police station for questioning because of gathering a crowd.
In those years, Yang Shaohua relied on this method to barely maintain the whole family.
Life is hard, and his career has not improved much.
After joining the folk art troupe, he first praised the cross talk master Ma Sanli, and later partnered with Ma Sanli's son Ma Zhiming. During the cooperation between
and Ma Zhiming, the two performed programs such as "Quit Smoking" and "Geographical Map", which were deeply loved by the audience, and Yang Shaohua also gained a bit of fame.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the pair broke up within three years. After
disbanded, Yang Shaohua "went back to before liberation" and returned to the state of being unknown again.
Although he was capable but could not make a name for himself in the cross talk world, and the money he earned was only enough to live on, Yang Shaohua finally "made up his mind" in the late 1980s.
He applied for "discharge" at his work and went to "Beijing".
I have to say that his choice this time was very wise.
Because after he arrived in Beijing, he not only received assistance from all aspects of Hou Baolin, but more importantly, he met Zhao Weizhou.
You must know that without Zhao Weizhou, Yang Shaohua may not have become popular, or he may not have become popular so quickly.
Out of his appreciation for Yang Shaohua, Zhao Weizhou tailored the script "Spring Comes out of Dead Trees" based on his characteristics.
In 1991, 60-year-old Yang Shaohua became an instant hit with "Spring in the Dead Tree".
However, becoming famous does not mean that Yang Shaohua has embarked on the road of "enjoying happiness" and has no worries.
Enjoying happiness comes at a price
Not even two years after becoming famous, Yang Shaohua broke up with his partner Zhao Weizhou again.
Some people say that the two broke up because of different ideas, while others say that it was because Yang Shaohua wanted to support his son Yang Yi.
No matter what the real reason is, it is an indisputable fact that since 2003, Yang Shaohua began to praise his son Yang Yi.
's breakup with Zhao Weizhou had less impact on Yang Shaohua's career than his previous relationship with Ma Zhiming. After
partnered with Yang Yi, Yang Shaohua and his son co-created and performed many works that were loved by the audience, such as "Red Sunset" and "Brain Teasers".
Also in 2003, the two collaborated to perform the cross talk "Meat Rotten in the Pot" and won the first prize in the second CCTV "Welcoming Song Cup" National TV Cross Talk Competition.
However, although Yang Shaohua worked hard to let his son gain a foothold in the cross talk world.
not only praises his son when he is over 70, but also breaks the unwritten rule in the cross talk industry of "not accepting one's own sons as apprentices".
But the power of an individual is not worth mentioning in the face of the torrent of the times.
Since 1996, crosstalk has gradually declined in China.
Seeing that cross talk was becoming less and less "promising" in China, Yang Yi began to work in film and television dramas and became a director.
In order to support his son's career, Yang Shaohua also participated in the filming of many film and television dramas, the most famous of which is the TV series "Yang Guang's Happy Life".
With his blessing, Yang Yi soon became a young and cutting-edge comedy director. More than ten years after
became famous, with Yang Shaohua’s continuous “hard work”, his descendants are living quite well.
Finally, in his seventies, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
From then on, he began to run wildly on the road of "enjoying happiness".
Maybe he has been poor for too long and has been too ruthless. After he can "enjoy happiness", Yang Shaohua's way of rewarding himself is to eat and drink.
His favorite thing is to meet up with a few friends and drink together.
Meat must not be missing from any meal, and the wine must be 50 degrees or above.
Of course, there is no shortage of cigarettes. It is said that he often smokes cigarettes one after another.
Such a life seems very comfortable, but it is not without cost.
After Yang Shaohua began to have good fortune in 2000, he began to go to the hospital frequently. The most famous one was probably the one in July last year.
Conclusion
Logically speaking, Yang Shaohua is now over ninety years old and has high blood pressure and other diseases. He really should not be so "indulgent" in life.
But everyone has his own way of life, and we should not use our own ruler to measure others.
Perhaps Yang Shaohua's "enjoy it well" attitude towards life is one of the reasons for his longevity.
hopes that this old artist will be in good health and continue to bring joy to the audiences who like him.
