As an important carrier of the excellent traditions of Chinese culture, the Spring Festival contains the wisdom and crystallization of Chinese national culture, condenses the life pursuit and emotional sustenance of the Chinese people, and has the beautiful meaning of retiring the old and welcoming the new, auspicious and happy, reunion and peace. For Chen Zhilin, chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, president of the Sichuan Vocational College of Arts, president of the Sichuan Provincial Theater, and famous Sichuan opera performance artist, the Spring Festival also pinned his yearning for a better life. Recently, Chen Zhilin was interviewed by a cover news reporter to share his Spring Festival memories.

"When I was a child, my biggest wish for the New Year was to be able to buy a few small books with the money I had." Chen Zhilin has been a good reader since he was a child, and he still maintains the habit of reading and practicing words every day. However, in the era of relative material scarcity, spending money on books was a very luxurious thing. "In the past, I always borrowed books and looked for books to read, but in the Spring Festival, I hoped to buy some small books with my pocket money." The spiritual self-consistency and abundance of reading has brought me far more than material satisfaction and pleasure. ”

During the New Year, the day when playing games with friends seems to be yesterday. "In our day, there were no computers, no mobile phones, no online games, just simple tiles, rolling iron rings, marble beads, or running freely on the road, all of which were very happy." In Chen Zhilin's memory, he once walked the streets with gongs, drums and guns, looking for heroes through the streets; he also rolled the iron ring and ran through half of Chengdu. There are also a few days of the New Year, as soon as the day is dark, I will follow the adults out to watch the lantern festival. "That excitement and joy became our most important growth experience."
The playful entertainment of his youth has also left a mark on Chen Zhilin's artistic path. "I remember that during the New Year's holidays, I and a few children always liked to play a game - drawing a grid on the ground, writing judges, judges, etc., and playing which role wherever the tiles were lost, this kind of happiness that parasitizes the living space of others is the same as my current feeling as a Sichuan opera actor bringing happiness to others." 」

Entering the Waxing Moon, Chen Zhilin became more and more busy. In addition to various meetings and activities in the provincial literary and art circles, he also performed and recorded performances at the Spring Festival Gala and the Xiqu Spring Festival Gala in Sichuan and Chongqing, showing the unique charm of xiqu art. "As a literary and art worker, it is a great honor to be able to bring happiness to everyone during this important festival of the Spring Festival and enjoy the peace of the festival with everyone." He is willing to "burn" himself every Spring Festival, "bringing happiness to others at the same time, I also found happiness myself." ”
In addition to domestic performances, Chen Zhilin also often performs overseas, allowing locals to feel the charm of traditional Chinese arts. For example, during the Spring Festival of 2017, the "Happy Spring Festival" Eastern European performance troupe organized by the Sichuan Vocational College of Arts was appointed by the Ministry of Culture to deliver an authentic oriental cultural feast to the audiences of Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania.

Now, the taurus is drifting away, and the tiger is coming. "Tiger" is also of great significance to Chen Zhilin - in 1979, at the age of 15, he "encountered" a classic Sichuan opera "Crouching Tiger Order" at the Sichuan Provincial Sichuan Theater. This performance made Chen Zhilin determined to learn Sichuan opera. At the beginning of learning art, because of his age, the softness and strength of his bones were poor, but in order to show the excitement of Sichuan opera on the stage, Chen Zhilin suffered a lot, overcame many unimaginable difficulties, and finally practiced a "hard kung fu", and learned the strengths of the family, achieving a unique Sichuan opera "Chen Pai" Xiaosheng performing arts genre.
"Crouching Tiger Order", also known as "Strong Order", is the famous Qing official Dong Xuan of the Han Dynasty. The play tells the story of the slave of Princess Huyang, the sister of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who killed people and was protected by his master, but Dong Xuan, who was not high in official position, was not afraid of the magnates to kill the slaves and anger the princess, the princess complained to Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Guangwu asked him to kowtow to Princess Huyang to make reparations, Dong Xuan resolutely refused to comply, so he was praised by the people as "Crouching Tiger Order".
"Tiger, there are many meanings, such as dragon leaping tiger leap, tiger tiger vitality, the most important thing is to remind people to have spirit and do a good job." When I watched "Crouching Tiger Order", I especially noticed that Dong Xuan was shaped like a Crouching Tiger, strong and upright, not afraid of power, and majestic. In the Year of the Tiger, I hope that everyone can find their own uplifting spirit and spirit. Next, Chen Zhilin will also lead teachers and students of Sichuan Vocational College of Arts and young actors of Sichuan Provincial Sichuan Theater to the stage of Hunan Satellite TV to send Spring Festival blessings to the people of the whole country through Sichuan opera.
