It is said that in the background of the Deyun Society, there are the remains of five "big men", namely Dongfang Shuo, the ancestor of the Xiangsheng Society, Mr. Li Wenshan, the elder of the Deyun Society, Mr. Jin Wensheng, the master of the Xihe Dagu Gate, Mr. Hou Yaowen, the master of Guo Degang, and Mr. Zhang Wenshun, one of the founders of the Deyun Society.
Zhang Wenshun's portrait is placed next to Hou Yaowen, although Zhang Wenshun said that he founded the Deyun Society with Guo Degang, but he is indeed Guo Degang's great benefactor, it can be said that if there was no Zhang Wenshun, Guo Degang may not be able to become a generation of cross-talk masters now.
Everyone knows that Guo Degang tried his best to squeeze into the mainstream circle of cross-talk without results, and he could only make a living in a small tea house, and when he was 25 years old, he met Zhang Wenshun, 60 years old. Born into a wealthy family in Beijing, Zhang Wenshun received a good education from an early age, with a focus on being rich.
Zhang Wenshun and Guo Degang became friends for many years and decided to help him achieve a career, they became the "Beijing Cross-talk Conference", that is, the predecessor of the Deyun Society, Guo Degang was still a poor boy, and the money for the initial entrepreneurship can be said to be funded by Zhang Wenshun.
Not only that, because Guo Degang was not popular in the mainstream circle of The Beijing cross-talk circle at that time, when the Beijing Cross-Talk Conference was just established, there were still people who would come to "make trouble" from time to time, almost all of which were Zhang Wenshun taking the initiative to solve the problem, compared to Guo Degang, Zhang Wenshun was still relatively open in this regard.
Now many people think of Guo Degang's partner will think of Yu Qian, and before Yu Qian, Guo Degang's partner was Zhang Wenshun. In his later years, Zhang Wenshun also tried his best to use his influence to help Guo Degang sit firmly in the position of the cross-talk industry, and he also encouraged Guo Degang to accept apprentices and personally set the eight-character section name of "Cloud Crane Nine Xiao, Dragon Rising All Over the Sea".
In his later years, someone asked Zhang Wenshun if Guo Degang was so popular, but few people knew whether he would feel unfair. Zhang Wenshun replied that he was willing to make steps for Guo Degang, let him go up, and watch him succeed. I have to say that Mr. Zhang Wenshun is really selfless.
Even when Zhang Wenshun suffered from esophageal cancer in his later years, he still insisted on the theory with other people in the cross-talk community who opposed Guo Degang.
In 2009, at the age of 71, Zhang Wenshun told Guo Degang on his deathbed that he hoped he would help take care of his daughter and grandson. Guo Degang agreed. When Zhang Wenshun died, the Deyun Society stopped performing for 7 days, and all the deyun society mourned for Mr. Zhang Wenshun.
Guo Degang did not renege on his word, after Zhang Wenshun's death, his daughter Zhang Deyan and grandson Ning Yunxiang were arranged in the Deyun Society, and Zhang Deyan and her husband are now the top management of the Deyun Society, with a high income.
His grandson Ning Yunxiang was also a disciple of the Deyun Society in the early days, but later he seemed to quit because zhi was not in cross-talk, and he got married last year. Although I am not in the Deyun Society, I believe that I will not be treated badly in terms of materials.
For Guo Degang, Zhang Wenshun is his confidant, partner, benefactor, for Zhang Wenshun, Guo Degang did not live up to his efforts that year, Guo Degang's achievements today may be the best reward for Zhang Wenshun.
Therefore, it is really not easy to achieve a great cause, even if Guo Degang himself is very talented and capable, he also needs the selfless efforts of Zhang Wenshun and his wife Wang Hui, as well as the complementarity of capable people like Yu Qian to maintain the prosperity of deyun society for many years.
