In September 2018, the famous cross-talk actor Mr. Chang Baohua died of illness at the age of 88.
Later, at the funeral, the eldest disciple Hou Yaohua took the lead in applauding, but it triggered the anger of countless people, and was even scolded by netizens to the point of bloodshed.
On the other hand, Chang Yuan, as the eldest grandson, stood indifferent in the distance, although his face was full of sadness and sadness, it could be seen that he was not willing to applaud.
Why is that? Why did Hou Yaohua applaud at the funeral?
Today, we will talk about Chang Baohua.
For many younger generations, most people are more familiar with Guo Degang and Qian and Deyun Society.
In the last century, Changshi xiangsheng occupied half of the cross-talk industry, and the Changjia family can be said to be one of the most well-known cross-talk families in the cross-talk circle, and its status in the hearts of the public is like today's Guo Degang and Deyun Society.
Mr. Chang Baohua is one of the representatives of Chang style cross-talk.
The cross-talk master Chang Lian'an is the father of Mr. Chang Baohua, since he was a child, he followed his father everywhere to the south and north, watched his father perform on the stage to speak, also followed his father to learn the basic skills, and later also worshiped the cross-talk master Ma Sanli as a teacher.
As a cross-talk family, several of Chang Baohua's brothers are talking about cross-talk, and most of the people in the family are also engaged in the cross-talk industry.
Chang Baohua began to perform on stage at the age of 9, and has studied and performed more than 70 traditional cross-talk segments.
In addition to cross-talk, he also writes sketches, and over the years he has created more than 170 works including collaborative cross-talk, sketches, and allegro.
The famous cross-talk actor Zhao Fuyu Niu Qun is his proud disciple, and Mr. Chang Baohua has also expressed his support for Guo Degang and Deyun She.
After his retirement, he also had spare time in Ngami, but continued to compose, and was also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Peony Award, the highest award in the music industry.
Chang Baohua has been active on the stage for more than 70 years, and it can be said that he has dedicated his life's energy to the cause of cross-talk.
For many years, Mr. Chang Baohua has been plagued by asthma, but his mentality is very optimistic, and he joked with everyone in an interview, saying that it was a practice.
In September 2018, Chang Baohua's grandson Chang Yuan released an obituary in the name of the studio, announcing the death of Mr. Chang Baohua.
On the day of the funeral, Feng Gong, Cai Ming, Li Jindou, Guo Da, and other people in the entertainment industry appeared one after another to send Elder Chang on his last journey.
Halfway through the farewell ceremony, Hou Yaohua, as Chang Baohua's eldest disciple, proposed to applaud the old man and took the lead in starting to applaud.
On such a solemn and solemn occasion as the memorial service, Hou Yaohua took the lead in applauding and sending off, which was really unbelievable, and he was also scolded by countless netizens for this.
But in fact, it is not the first time that the special way to send off is not the first time, and there is a precedent before.
Jiang Kun once broke the news in the show that Mr. Ma Ji was the first person we sent goodbye with applause, which was the first time in history.
When Mr. Ma Ji died that year, when he said in the farewell hall, his son Ma Dong said on behalf of the disciples, Dad, your favorite thing in life was the applause of the audience, and now that you have closed the curtain, when you close the curtain this time, we still send you off with applause.
Subsequently, everyone present began to applaud, and the farewell ceremony was completed with applause instead of crying.
In addition, later at the funeral of mr. Su Wenmao, the master of cross-talk, the host Li Jindou also proposed to say goodbye with applause.
Mr. Lao has been pouring into the cross-talk career all his life, as a cross-talk actor, the audience's applause is the greatest affirmation, and it is the most noble praise to send mr. old man off with applause.
However, it is also a farewell with applause, Mr. Ma Ji and Mr. Su Wenmao are highly praised, why has Mr. Chang Baohua's farewell party caused countless controversies?
In fact, in the final analysis, it is because of the initiator of applause, Hou Yaohua, who has a bad reputation.
Although Hou Yaohua was Chang Baohua's eldest disciple, the identity of this eldest disciple was obtained through robbery.
Logically, the ranking in quyimen is determined according to the time of entry, regardless of age and experience, whoever comes first is bigger.
Until 2009, Niu Herd had been Chang Baohua's senior disciple.
However, since 2009, the 63-year-old Hou Yaohua has visited Chang Baohua and joined the team to become a senior disciple, while Niu Herd, who has been a senior disciple for more than 30 years, has become a second master brother.
For the outside world's doubts and insults, Chang Baohua explained that because Hou Yaohua was born into a famous family, he had been in contact with cross-talk since he was a child, and he was also a member of cross-talk, so he had a long entry time so he was a master brother.
All along, Hou Yaohua's reputation in the circle has not been good, and it can even be said that it is notorious.
He is not a level figure with Li Jindou and others, and it is not strange that he has long been scolded.
Hou Yaohua boasted that his eldest disciple had brought a group of disciples and disciples to applaud and bid farewell to Chang Lao, but the eldest grandson Chang Yuan on the other side was indifferent.
The crowd applauded to send off Chang Lao, and although Chang Yuan was also clapping at the rhythm, the tears were obviously uncontrollable.
Chang Yuan has the best relationship with his grandfather, once at the 1988 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, he performed the cross-talk "Dialogue Fun Talk" with his grandfather Chang Baohua, and also invited his grandfather Chang Baohua to perform a cross-talk drama on the stage of a happy dramatist with himself.
Although Chang Yuan did not choose to become a cross-talk actor in the end, he is still active on the stage.
He always remembered his grandfather's teachings to be a good actor worthy of the audience.
However, now that Grandpa has passed away, he never has the opportunity to be close to Grandpa and let Grandpa talk about himself again.
What do you think about that?
