Some old opera fans said this: Compared with the famous Qiu Second Generation Qiu Iii Generation, or even Qiu Fourth Generation, Qiu Shaorong is the real Qiu Sect.
I think that's true!
Qiu Shaorong, born in 1957. Originally named Qiu Ming, in order to show that his son inherited his father's business, he changed his name to "Qiu Shaorong" in 1981. He studied at the Chinese Opera School, where he studied under Sun Shengwen and other teachers. The stage image voice resembles her father, after graduation assigned to the Beijing Opera Fourth Troupe, some traditional plays are not too familiar, for this, her mother is very anxious, constantly strict supervision, and by his brothers Fang Rongxiang, Tong Yunhong, Xia Yunlong and so on to tutor.
Qiu Shaorong's voice is slightly singler than Mr. Qiu's, and his charm is slightly worse. But after all, there is genetic inheritance, and many people in the second generation of Joe's actors are listened to and watched. Qiu Shaorong learned a lot from Wang Zhengping and Yang Zhenggang. Although Qiu Shaorong's voice has limitations, he has a characteristic that the current Qiu Pai actors do not have, that is, his singing is not kitsch.
Qiu Shaorong was in the early spring of 1995 and took over the task of "sound matching" for his father Qiu Shengrong. Just as he was redoubling his efforts to rehearse, he suddenly felt unwell, and as a result, he went to the hospital to be diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. He said to his wife Gao Hong (the granddaughter of Gao Qingkui, the "former four major students"): "I know all about cancer. "Means: Never take sick leave, never prevaricate "sound matching"!
In the more than a year he was terminally ill, he continuously recorded "Yao Period", "Meet the Empress, Fight the Dragon Robe", "Great Protector, Visit the Imperial Tomb, Erjin Palace", "Sit in the Village and Steal horses", "Hai Rui dismissed the official", "The Orphan of Zhao", "General Xianghe", "Chisang Town", "Famen Temple" and "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" a total of ten plays.
Every time she rehearsed or recorded a video, Gao Hong carried a thermos full of boiled soup medicine to "wait". Qiu Shaorong said to Gao Hong many times: "As long as I don't lie down, I will go to 'audio matching'!" ”
His last "sound matching" was "Dragon Phoenix Chengxiang", which was played by Sun Quan for his father. The last time it was recorded was a month before his death. At this time, his condition has deteriorated significantly, and he needs to take oxygen constantly at home. However, in the video that day, he resolutely refused to bring an oxygen bag, saying that he was afraid of affecting everyone's emotions. When he finished recording Sun Quan's play, he returned to the backstage and suddenly fell on the box, breathless, and sweating coldly - it was Qiu Shaorong's final sprint!
In the last moments of his dying life, he still put life and death aside, and devoted himself to the revitalization of the cause of Peking Opera and the preservation of Qiu Pai's artistic treasures. With amazing perseverance, he endured the torture of cancer and used all his efforts and strength to record his last play in this life, "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang".
He died in 1996 at the age of 39.
