Chen Yunong
1880-1942
Since joining the Yi Folk Society in 1912, Chen Yunong has rarely performed on stage. But the audience can't forget that Dewa, when there was a bookstore printing script, and also added his name on the cover, such as "Dewa Walking Snow", "Dewa Huanggu Fighting Dynasty", etc., which were quickly sold out, which showed its influence.
In March 1922, Li Youzhi, the director of the Hankou Branch of the Yi Folk Society, proposed a special notice and published it in the Daily Of the Yi Folk Society. The notice said: "Chen Yunong, the coach of the company, is loyal to the heart of the people, humble in nature, and together with opera, it can be described as a divine power... This time Teken dedicated a skill, covered with two reasons, in the people who have watched its play, ten years of broad contract, the old rain meets, eager to be eager, the troublemaker has no calculation, the love can not be ignored, one also. Those who have not seen his drama, because of the cultivation of students, know that they must be made by the master, proverb cloud does not know his teacher, regards his brother, and has a long-term taste of knowledge, and the troublemaker has no calculation, two also. On the seventh day of the first month, Zite was allowed to take the stage to perform a special drama to fulfill the wishes of the people. ”
As soon as the news came out, public opinion boiled over, and the fans rushed to tell each other: Chen Yunong of the Yi Folk Society was going to sing on the stage himself! It's been 10 years since he last appeared on stage. Since he became the head coach, he never showed his face, even in Shaanxi, whenever he met a church meeting, the military and political chief repeatedly invited him out of the mountain, he politely refused, only concentrated on teaching students, and had no intention of coming out for a long time. Why are you willing to take the stage in Hankou this time?

The special notice clearly states that, first, the hearts and minds of those who have seen its performances are unforgettable and eager to see it again; second, the people of Wuhan only know Liu Zhenguo, Liu Dimin, Ma Minmin, and Su Mumin, but they do not know the promoter Chen Yunong behind them, and this performance is to satisfy the curiosity of other guqu people. These two reasons are naturally on the table, and there is another reason that I am afraid that Li Youzhi is not easy to explain, at that time, some students became increasingly popular, could not resist the temptation, began to play a big card, not good acting. Li Youzhi is often worried about this, and inviting coach Chen Yunong to take the stage is a kind of deterrent and an example, hoping that individual students will get lost and return.
On the seventh day of March, Chen Yunong's "Send a Girl" appeared, which is his best play, and he did not know how many performances he had performed in the Kuisheng class and the Yuqing class before. The husband in the play, Yu Kuan, was deceived and insisted on divorcing his wife, and his wife Zhou Lanying explained everything, but could not be forgiven. When Chen Yunong (as Zhou Lanying) sang "Everyone says that manhood is too fierce", he couldn't help but hate to point Yu Kuan, but because of the weight of the hand, he almost pushed the person to the ground and rushed to pull it. This finger, a push, a pull, showing resentment, fear, grievance, intolerance, pity, suddenly there is a hint of shyness, that kind of rapidly changing complex psychology, Chen Yunong designed meticulously, it is really a case.
