The long history of Ma's cross-talk is exemplary in the history of cross-talk development for more than 100 years. When Ma Sanye was alive, he said that Ma's cross-talk has been passed down for more than 120 years, and it can develop to this day, thanks to the love of the audience. "Ma's cross-talk" does not necessarily have to be inherited by the descendants of the surname Ma, and it is hoped that what will be inherited is Ma's unique performance style.
Veteran cross-talk fans all know that ma's descendants have no professional cross-talk performances since Ma Zhiming, the young horse master. One might say, and Malacca. As the eldest son and eldest grandson of Ma Sanye, Ma Sanye had high hopes for Malacca in that year, and his heart was to hope that he would inherit the family's masterpieces. In fact, Malacca is indeed a person in the Xiangsheng Gate, and from the perspective of the relationship between the teacher and the master, the master is Mr. Wang Fengshan, the master brother of his father Ma Zhiming. However, Malacca officially withdrew from the cross-talk stage at the age of 12, and due to his personal development wishes, he worked at the Tianjin Fire System Research Institute after graduating from university, and wrote some cross-talk paragraphs in his spare time.
Just two years ago, on the Oriental Satellite TV, a cross-talk actor named Ma Xiaochuan turned out to be a grandfather, claiming that his grandfather was a generation of grandmasters Ma Sanli. Indeed, Ma Xiaochuan's father is Mr. Ma Zhiliang, and Ma Zhiliang is the younger son of Ma Sanye, which is indisputable in terms of family bloodline. But that time, Ma Xiaochuan's amateur performance level on the stage of "Smiling Proud of the River" was really difficult for the audience to recognize.
Although Ma Xiaochuan was born in a cross-talk family and received his grandfather's artistic influence since childhood, he has never systematically studied cross-talk and has not formally studied cross-talk. Around 2013, Ma Xiaochuan became the Ma Xiaochuan Cross-Talk Society in The Jinnan District of Tianjin, where Ma Sanli had once delegated, and frequently appeared in the media's vision in the name of inheriting Ma's Cross-Talk. In August last year, Tianjin Xiangsheng's famous family Chang Baofeng held a ceremony to receive two disciples, Ma Xiaochuan and Yang Shu (Mr. Yang Baozhang's son). Mr. Chang Baofeng, who was revered by the audience as Chang Jiuye, happened to be under the direction of Xiangsheng Taidou Ma Sanli. Ma Xiaochuan worshiped Chang Jiuye and also took a detour to inherit Ma's cross-talk.
However, when Ma Sanye was alive, he did not agree with his younger son Ma Zhiliang to say cross-talk, because there was no sale on his face. According to Ma's disciples, his grandson Ma Xiaochuan was also regarded as unbeaten by Ma Sanli and was not allowed to engage in the cross-talk industry. Today, Ma Xiaochuan, who developed Ma's cross-talk in the footsteps of his grandfather, has not been recognized by the audience after three or four years of joining the industry. In the words that Third Master Ma often said, "there is not a single door." This has to be admired by Mr. Ma Zhiliang, who had no complaints when his father objected to his cross-talk performance. On the contrary, I firmly believe in my father's words: if you can't become a good cross-talk actor, to say that in a small way, it is a bad cross-talk in the Ma family; to say that in a big way, it is a bad cross-talk art.
