Recently, Guo Degang posted a tribute to his mentor Hou Yaowen on social platforms. A sentence of "Mr. Gu is rare, the disciple is half a hundred" praises the reputation of The Teacher and The Teacher as a master of the cross-talk world. The phrase "where there is a heroic pole" seems to express an unpleasant release of the past.
Some people found that Guo Degang had been mourning for his mentor on social platforms for 14 consecutive years, and every time he posted, he could see that he was extremely thoughtful, and the mentor-apprentice relationship between Guo Degang and Hou Yaowen was also very touching.
People who have learned about Guo Degang's experience know that the achievements of Guo Degang and Deyun Society today are not easy to come by, and many of them have helped each other, such as Zhang Wenshun and Yang Jing, one of the founders of Deyun Society, and Hou Yaowen, Guo Degang's master. Hou Yaowen's photo also hangs in the background of the Deyun Society, which is enough to prove his status.
Unfortunately, Hou Yaohua and Guo Degang died after only 3 years of being a master and apprentice, and Guo Degang's skills are actually not all mastered by Hou Yaowen, but when Guo Degang was not accepted by the mainstream of the cross-talk industry, Hou Yaowen, who was born in a famous cross-talk industry, accepted himself, which was already a great favor for Guo Degang.
Therefore, Guo Degang has publicly stated that Hou Yaowen is the only master he has publicly and officially known, and Hou Yaowen has also said that he is guo Degang's only master.
There was Zhang Wenshun in the front, hou Yaowen in the back, and Guo Degang, who has gone through twists and turns, is actually lucky. It's just that Hou Yaowen only became Guo Degang's master for 3 years and died in a hurry, and Guo Degang, who knew the en Tu Bao, also took on the responsibility of taking care of his master's descendants.
Hou Yaowen is the third son of the cross-talk master Hou Baolin, and he also has a second brother, Hou Yaohua, who is also an old artist. Originally, the relationship between Guo Degang and "Second Master Uncle" Hou Yaohua was also good, but after Hou Yaowen's death, Hou Yaohua and his two nieces quarreled over the inheritance, even to the extent of the court of appeal.
This matter was originally an internal matter of the Hou family and should be resolved by the Hou family's own people, but Guo Degang felt that he had the responsibility to help the master's two daughters speak, so Guo Degang was also involved in this inheritance case, and also began to make trouble with Hou Yaohua.
There was a rumor on the Internet that Guo Degang spent 20 million yuan to buy the villa that Hou Yaowen bought before his death but did not pay off the mortgage to help Hou Yaowen's daughter in the inheritance case. But in fact, Guo Degang did buy the villa to help Hou Yaowen's daughter, but how much money was spent is actually still a mystery. However, no matter how much money was spent, it proved that Guo Degang still took good care of Master's daughter.
After His Master, Guo Degang also took good care of his family. Hou Zhen, the son of Hou Yaowen's eldest brother Hou Yaozhong, worked in the Deyun Society.
And Hou Yaowen's granddaughter Oh Oh and Guo Degang's younger son Andy is a "green plum bamboo horse", the two children also took a photo together some time ago, Andy put his arms around his sister Oh, the relationship is very good.
Oh Oh not long ago also presented flowers to Guo Degang at the sealed box performance of the Deyun Society, and also affectionately called Guo Degang "Uncle", and Guo Degang also introduced Oh Oh to everyone as the granddaughter of Master Hou Yaowen.
However, Guo Degang's relationship with "Second Master Uncle" Hou Yaohua was not very good. Guo Degang's former apprentice He Yunwei left the Deyun Society in 2010 and severed his master-apprentice relationship with Guo Degang, while Hou Yaohua took He Yunwei as an apprentice in 2017.
Hou Yaohua also took He Yunwei to visit the grave of his younger brother Hou Yaowen, and sent a text saying: Take Xiao Wei to see the third uncle. As we all know, He Yunwei was once Guo Degang's apprentice, and Guo Degang was the apprentice of Hou Yaohua's younger brother, and He Yunwei now calls Hou Yaowen "Third Uncle", so isn't he the same age as Guo Degang? It's embarrassing.
Hou Yaohua and He Yunwei's staff also posted that Guo Degang had never visited the tomb of his master Hou Yaowen, saying that it was not propaganda that could cover up the facts.
Compared with Hou Yaohua and He Yunwei, Guo Degang is calmer, perhaps he feels that justice is in the hearts of the people, and some facts do not need to be deliberately argued.
