82-year-old cross-talk actor Xing Wenzhao has passed away! For one of the "Four Elders of Deyun", Guo Qilin and other mourners

On the afternoon of March 16, xing Wenzhao, an older generation of cross-talk actors, died at the age of 82. Zhong Zhaohui, deputy general manager of Deyun Company, confirmed the news to Nandu reporters and said that the family decided to make everything simple and only hold a farewell ceremony before cremation.

Xing Wenzhao was a disciple of the stand-up comedy master Liu Baorui, and after Zhang Wenshun and Li Wenshan died one after another and Wang Wenlin quit the Deyun Society, he became the only surviving predecessor of the "Four Elders of Deyun". After his death, Deyun Society cross-talk actors Sun Yue, Guo Qilin and Zhang Yunlei sent out articles of condolences one after another.

Xing Wenzhao, formerly known as Xing Kezhao, was born in Beijing in 1937. Since childhood, he liked cross-talk, and in 1959, he joined the student class of the Rap Troupe of the China Broadcasting Cultural and Labor Troupe and studied cross-talk performance. In 1961, he took Liu Baorui as his teacher and specialized in stand-up comedy. He has worked with famous cross-talk artists Ma Ji, Li Wenhua, Li Guosheng and others in the Beijing Workers' Art Troupe. In the 1960s, Xing Wenzhao participated in the first national literary and art performance, and won the performance award in the national trade union quyi performance; in 2001, he participated in the national sketch competition and won the first prize for his work "Four Old Men".

In the 1990s, Xing Wenzhao joined the newly founded "Beijing Xiangsheng Conference" (renamed "Deyun Society" in 2003) by Guo Degang, Zhang Wenshun and others, and was one of the elders. During the Deyunshe period, Xing Wenzhao mainly performed stand-up comedy and praise, and was good at "green leaves", and his representative works included stand-up comedy "String Picking", "False Connoisseur", "Bao Kitchen", "Matching The Riddle of Lights", "Five Red Figures", "Kwa Residence" and so on. He once publicly expressed his appreciation for Guo Degang, saying that he loved cross-talk to the point of being obsessed and was a fairly comprehensive talent in music and art.

Zhang Helun, a young cross-talk actor of deyun society, also remembers the promotion of "Master Xing". When he first appeared on the stage, he did not have a fixed partner, and Xing Wenzhao often cooperated with him. Zhang Helun wrote on Weibo: "During that time, some people were very unfavorable to me, it was you who gave me confidence, encouraged me, and recognized my performance, which made me more convinced that I could shine on this stage, and to this day I am grateful to you!" ”

In addition to participating in cross-talk performances, another contribution of Xing Wenzhao to cross-talk art is to inherit master Liu Baorui's masterpiece, the long stand-up comedy "OfficialDom Fight", and to sort out and publish "Official Field Fighting - Xing Wenzhao Performance Book", which is called "Xing Ben" in the industry, which is more historical and focused than the "Yin Ben" of his brother Yin Wenshuo, which has more historical facts, has its own emphases, and has more reference value for later actors.

Xing Wenzhao's granddaughter Xing Hewei , also engaged in cross-talk performances , is a cross-talk actor in the "Crane" section of the Deyun Society.
