Peking Opera art has been passed down for 200 years, but in the past two hundred years, peking opera art has appeared many famous artists and famous characters, but the emergence of famous artists and famous characters is very difficult.
Peking opera actors in the old society were very bitter, why do you say so? Because it was very difficult for Peking opera actors in the old society to learn art, it was really like going to prison to learn art in a class, and it was not easy to learn art after seven or eight years.
Li Huifang, a famous Peking Opera performance artist, once recalled that it was not easy for Peking Opera actors in the old society, and it was as difficult for young Peking Opera actors to sing in classes as if they were reincarnated.
However, during the "Cultural Revolution" period, many young Peking Opera actors had an opportunity, and this opportunity was the creation of Peking Opera model plays and revolutionary modern plays.
In fact, the original Peking Opera model plays and revolutionary modern dramas were the top actors of the major Peking operas, but these Peking Opera actors are old, they have their own understanding of art, but they are old, so they are not suitable for performing Peking Opera model plays and revolutionary modern plays in terms of singing, appearance and strength.
Liu Changyu, a famous Peking Opera performance artist, Gongdanjiao, Zongxun Sect, was once taught by the famous Peking Opera master Xun Huisheng.
Teacher Liu Changyu once became a star of that era because of the role of "Li Tiemei" in the model play "Red Lantern", but at that time, Teacher Liu Changyu was only in his twenties, which was definitely an opportunity for a fledgling Peking Opera actor.
Liu Changyu once participated in the "Mei Lanfang Gold Award Competition" in the 1990s, and later his entry was an excerpt from "Red Lantern", and later Liu Changyu said that he was stained with the light of "Li Tiemei".
Teacher Liu Changyu is not forgetting Ben, which is worthy of admiration!
